So Here I am again with an update on rider Values after the TdF Pointsalanche. Crap isn't the summer way too short. So I meant for this to be done prior to the Vuelta, but life got in the way. So here we go after the Vuelta and the Tour and about a hundred other races.

As usual I will be using This System to assess rider values with 55 being the points per point pay off level.

I will also see if some of the riders looking for Tour VDS Love actually got any.

The top Ten VDS Value Riders are little changed. Or are they at this point I haven't even checked. Time to download the Spreadsheet and do some minor maths.

So for those who may still be interested at this point, and to show what progressions have been made I will now do both post Tour and Post Veulta numbers.
