Based on the spreadsheet from a previous post here are the best possible VDS Teams at the end of the tour. I give three versions - Best possible, best without Contador and best with Andy Schleck. Quick numbers:
Best with Alberto 16715
Best w/o Alberto has Evans 16564
Best with Schleck 16449
All pretty good! The second two are closer than the differences in the top riders because the less cost let better cheap guys be added in. I can get get results for other combinations easily enough if anyone wants.
The best team has Alberto Contador on it , but no other rider costing more than 14 (in fact all the best share this). From these sheets Vino and Ale-jet were the riders to pick this year! I put VDS cost before the name
