So who are the 2011 VDS Highest Value Riders as we head into Paris Roubaix and close the door on the cobbled classics for another year. Granted at this early point in the season lower cost riders will have an easier time paying off.

So how am I going about determining who is paying off and who is not?

I will be using This System since this is the system that tickles my fancy the most!

Riders and values on the flip.

Winning Helps! just ask the Top two on our list.

Nick Nuyens V=380

Sebastien Langeveld V=263

So does Finishing in the Points!

Matthew Hayman V=230

Jure Kocjan V=205

Allesandro Ballan V=200

Denis Galimzyanov V=170

Pavel Brutt V=170

Sylvain Chavanel V=165

Pim Ligthart V=145

Stefan Van Dijk V=120

Yauheni Hutarovich V=115

Michal Kwiatkowski V=105

Baden Cooke V=100

Chris Sutton V=95

Kristof Goddaert V=95

Matteao Palucchi V=95

Vasil Kyrienka V=85

Dominique Rollin V=80

Gerraint Thomas V=80

Duarte, Taaramae, and Geneiz round out the top 20 tied at 85 points each. All of these riders have not only put up points but they have generated better than average points per point. All these riders are in the black and all future points are gravy!!

I will also provide a break down of riders who have paid off by point cost:

1 pointers:22

2 pointers:16

4 pointers:8

6 pointers:3

Best 8 pointer is Danielle Bennati at -120

Best 10 pointer is Juan Antonio Flecha at -260

Best 12 pointer is Matt Goss at -239

Best 14 pointer is Filippo Pozzato at -545

Best 16 pointer is Michele Scarponi at -215

Best 18+ Pointer is Fabian Cancellara at -315

Loving me some VDS!!! Hope every one has a good weekend Hello Hurricane will be hoping for J-Rod to win Pais Vasco, Ballan to win Paris Roubaix, and everyone else (not on my team) to fall off their bikes!
