Surprise Williams; Dry draft of fantasy stitchers

The Tour Down Under , the first race of the year valid for Fantacycling, has ended. There were many surprises, both positive and negative. So let's summarize the first pluses and minuses of the season.
The most surprising rider was Stevie Williams , winner of the Australian race with 620 points won and a rating that rose from 2 to 6 (+4).
Narvaez and Del Toro , on the final podium, both deserve a +3. Also positive were Lemmen (6th overall) and Welsford (winner of three stages and the points jersey), both with +2 and Oscar Onley +1.
Among the riders who disappointed, Pippo Ganna stands out (-2), without a bonus; The 160 fantasy points are not enough to avoid the minus (-1) for Simon Yates , also due to his high cost. Plapp (who fell in the third stage), Ewan, Bauhaus, Strong, Cortina, Vader, Haig and Staune-Mittet also dropped by the same amount.
