If you use credits to switch out a rider , do you give up the points they already earned?

2021 TDF Fantasy League
9 “flat” stages
2 hilltop finishes
2 individual time trials (1st on 5th stage; 2nd on 20th)
8 mountainous stages (incl 3 summit finishes)
Who is going to generate points regularly?
My current scheme is heavy on sprinting…hmmm
& the double Mt Ventoux in a day looks brutal…GC guys are going to suffer

The double Ventoux stage doesn't end on top. What a shame. Poor planning IMO, guys in the Armstrong podcast said something similar. Mountain stages that end with a decent are just subpar from a fan perspective, and it seems like the riders agree.

Well, not surprising the riders agree…the screaming descent with cooked legs is a high wire act with the stopping power to match
I’d rather end too in a place where, when i fall over, it’s not at 60mph on a cheese grater surface with cliffs to the side.
As for the fan view, i dunno…the tv coverage is pretty good these days
In person, no question…going up on a 8% ramp, they’re going slow enough to see

I didn't mean "perspective" as literally as you're seeming to take it, and you changed it to "fan view". Nothing to do with TV coverage or ability to see the riders. Just more exciting when the top of the last big climb is For The Win.

And the fans will see them twice.
It seems like this year’s route favors the bold over the big budgets of Jumbo, Ineos & UAE. These teams just grind everyone else to a pulp on the way up with sheer numbers.
I’m not seeing any reports of riders bitching about the not ending on Ventoux. What did I miss?

JPH said a descent finish was a missed opportunity & not as good as a summit finish. Podcast guys seemed to agree.

Not sure then what you’re referring to [difference without a distinction, maybe?]…a fan perspective is based on the drama unfolding by watching it, no?
And I don’t mean to pursue an argument, so sorry about that…! I just think the descents are pretty good viewing too. But I accept that that may be a new thing since we can see the race from the couch with good coverage these days…

Good to see the race finally start.
12 of us on the TGR team, and we can now see who everyone picked for today's stage.
I'll made a list of TGR names vs Fantasy names.
I noticed a few of you didn't pick your "Stage Winner Bonus" rider from your team of 8. You can change who your bonus rider is everyday, that rider gets you double the stage points that day. So if its a sprint stage I will choose Sagan as my "Stage Bonus Winner" and he earns me double points for that stage. And the next day when it's a mountain stage I'll switch my Stage Bonus Winner to Froome to get me double points. You can change the Stage Bonus Rider from your team of 8 as many times as you want, it does not cost any points/budget.

Welcome to the Dee Hubbs excel analysis tour. We expect daily point totals with pivot tables and regressions so we can call a winner by the end of week one.
Also, Mrs. DH is in this thing? I'm guessing she's a ringer and we're all doomed.

Maybe Froome wasn't such a good bargain after all.

OK. I have a team now and my son's Peacock login... Don't call it a comeback!
Don't call it a comeback, I been here for years
I'm rockin' my peers, puttin' suckers in fear
Makin' the tears rain down like a monsoon
Listen to the bass go boom
Explosions, overpowerin'
Over the competition, I'm towerin'
Wrecking shop, when I drop
These lyrics that'll make you call the cops
Don't you dare stare
You better move, don't ever compare
Me to the rest that'll all get sliced and diced
Competition's payin' the priceBecause rich has nothing to do with money.
