Reassessed Averages

Surely riders averages will always be distorted unless the team building limit is kept to 45 each year?

Seriously? Please tell me you are taking the piss or have a very droll sense of humour...

42 (or 40.9 if you're SCB). But yes, you're right. However, the variance is usually small enough for it not to matter. In addition you have riders coming and going throughout the season which further distorts the averages away from what is mathematically "perfect" .

 

The main difference being in 2017 that the drop in the team building limit was so severe that it distorted all averages so much so that any rider who doesn't have a 2017 average should be reassessed.
