With two races down the field for last place in fantasy DH has thinned to just twelve of us, all with 0 points.

Read the following in an article from Bike Rumor:

“Unfortunately, Gwin’s weekend was cut short when he failed to qualify for finals. What felt like half of the Elite Men’s field came down through the Scotland Arch with very little air pressure in the rear tire; sadly, Aaron was one of them.”

Would be cool to see a little more emphasis on the team standings imo

Yep, big whiff on UCI not to push that more, it could be really fun and interesting (cash awards, pit priority, track access, etc.) and would give more weight/watchability/marketing power to teams' 2nd and 3rd fastest riders; suddenly their runs went from more or less meaningless to extremely important.

I don't understand why I would care about that. (Not being sarcastic.) There are multiple Commencal "teams" listed above... and Canyon... and Continental.

I'm too lazy to do the maths but I with a reasonably short season I wonder how easy it is to win the overall if you miss one event? Or if you are better coming at tenth at each rather than first, DNF, etc. I think Vali Holl did last year though?

If there are N events and you only make it to N-1 then you need to score N/(N-1) times as much at each event you do attend, on average, in order to have the same number of total points.

The more events there are, the easier this is, which I think is the opposite of what you were guessing. For example, if there's only 3 events and you make it to 2, then you need to score 150% of what you would've won the overall with if you made it to all 3. That's reduced to 111% if you make it to 9 of 10 events.

The points themselves are nonlinear. For UCI WC DH it's 200 for first. Scoring a first place and then skipping an event would be like getting 100 points in each of two events, which is about like scoring 5th or 6th. Then there's more points out there for qualifying as well, but I think you get the idea. The only way to really get a comfortable lead and lock in the overall before the last race of the season is to rack up a bunch of wins.

@tbmaddux: so what you’re saying is that if you score more points, there is a better chance at winning the overall? Big if tru

Haha that was my MO. Chemistry class was huge stadium seating classroom I was in the very back row last seat, some of the best naps ever. Alas my chemistry grade really suffered. Cheers!

Edit. 200 points for a win, 75 for tenth. So three wins and five DNFs is the same total as eight tenth places (600) excluding qualifying. Right. More coffee.

@weebleswobbles: I am. I just have not been paying any attention. Guilty as charged. You know, sometimes, you just have to sit in the back row and take a nap.
