One Man Team or Plenty of Options? (Graphs)
This got mentioned on another thread and I said I would do some graphs.
It shows how reliant the 19 World Tour teams were on a select few riders in 2013.
The first graph shows how many of their (World Tour) points were contributed by those other than the team's top three scorers.
The second shows the percentage of points contributed by the No.1 rider.

certainly a good spread of points earners.
I assume that Cannondale keep Sagan wrapped in cotton wool and locked in a drawer during the closed season?
Looks like Dan Martin earns his corn at Garmin as well.

I bet AG2r are happy about their Betancur signing!
Flecha still stacking the points at his age.
Rich what % did Quintana get?
this really does exemplify how easily we can get hung up on perception in cycling

Again, WT points are a little deceptive, OPQS were top in the victory rankings this year
