Thank you afx237vi! Full standings and team riders for the curious My "Sprinters suck!" strategy paid off in the end. That and Sbastien Chavanel. What a deal he was at 2 dollars. I'm actually 387th on the global leaderboard, which is not that bad. The overall winner had a prescient selection. If I had taken Boonen as my wild card, or if Rabobank weren't so afraid of bad publicity and had let Rasmussen win the thing, who knows where I may have ended up. Then again, as we say in French: avec des si, on mettrait Paris en bouteille. I'm wondering how Velogames decided to leave points on for riders excluded or forfeiting.
I can see leaving Rasmussen his points, but I'm surprised Vino kept his. Of course he's taking the Landis course and challenging the lab's findings. Who knows how, or when (Landis' arbitration hearing still isn't closed.) that'll finally be figured out.
Did anyone do a drug test on qbert? *rides away on a tricycle, narrowly missing a French poodle*
If I'm not mistaken, this selection was the optimal selection within the game's rules. It would have netted over 10 000 points, litterally smoking everyone else. Mauricio Soler, the crazy little climber (who was categorized as a cheap domestique by VeloGames), gave the highest return. Sprinter Sbastien Chavanel (also miscategorized by VeloGames as a lowly domestique) gave the second highest yield.
