Looking at the ages, this seems something of the past.
If that is the case, of course I'm missing the Paris-Nice winner of previous season 14 ; Marceliano Ibarrola ( SPORTLIFE ).
Ibarrola is not in 1A now, but I see more cyclists in this list who are not in 1A.
Also the Paris Nice winner of season 13 is not mentioned ; Kåre Reinertsen ( Flandria ).
Reinertsen is retired, but I see more retired cyclists in this list.
Of course, you will agree with me that trying to have everyone updated it's too hard. And of course I don't have every rider in the game, just the ones that go for sale or that are shared in the forum/chat. And some of them are in a old version, which means they could have changed moderately. I left the "oldies" in the database because it's a good reference when comparing your riders, and there isn't enough riders yet so that you cannot find at least 10 current candidates in 1a within the top30.
I'll think about updating the list in the future, when there are too many riders to find someone that hasn't retired yet.
About Reinertsen and Ibarrola, this is a list sorted by a coefficient calculated by the mix of percentages of all stages in the tour. So as every year the calendar changes, the fact of being the previous winner doesn't influence at all on this list. Actually I have both of them, but they don't appear among the top ones. Reinertsen (26) has a coefficient of 76.02, and Ibarrola of 72.90. Last year there was cobbles, which suit better for Ibarrola, this year he doesn't have a chance in Paris Nice.
Anyway, I don't know who is going to participate, but what you can get from the list is the ones that are active and in 1a:
Lazare Pires 78.92
Alessandro Figueras 78.63
Rene Vrijmoed 77.91
Sven WinklerPrins 77.74
Fulgencio Calderon 77.47
Samuele DiLuca 77.33
Bekir Spies 77.20
Allan Palmer 77.20
Jose Viñas 76.24
Roland Kámory 76.23
