To the VDS Cycling Game Administrators,
I would like to put forward a suggestion for a change to the points awarded in the VDS game for 2016.
My suggestion revolves around boosting the points awarded for the stage races, both for overall and stage placings. This will add interest as we follow "our" riders in multiple day stage races and will add an extra degree of unpredictability to the 2016 results versus 2015. I think this better aligns the points awarded in the stage races against those awarded for the 1 day races
I've shown below current points and my suggestion on the right hand side with changes highlighted in yellow.
Just my humble suggestion but I think this will make what is already an excellent game even more exciting to play and follow.
Regards
Andrew
