[Armchair Cyclist]

With the inclusion of Squire, and correction of a mistake that I had made on Madrazo, here is the corrected popularity table.

37	Leadbelly	111	7	3
	CollectiveWisdom	356	0	18
	CollectiveIgnorance	0	18	0
	MainGame2021	322	0	14

That last column is the hint that I have set up a team similarity tab.  Other than Bminchow's 15 man overlap with the Collective Wisdom team, the highest correlations are:

14 riders in common:  Cordi-Ludwigzgz
13: Amis Velo-Squire
Bminchow-Squire
Jon Ezietza-Nyssinator
Madrazo-Squire
Nakazar-Northern
and the 5 teams noted above who share 13 of the Collective Wisdom list.



Pre-game points

Each rider is allowed 199 points and still be permitted in the game, so in theory a team could legitimately have 3582 points.  These numbers mean very little, but maybe show the propensity of a manager to go for riders who have already shown themselves in the pro ranks a bit, or conversely, whether they are willing to invest in riders who might only come through in years 2 and 3.
