2017 Vuelta CQ game

[Armchair cyclist]

Here are the details, no major changes from what we have had before (and in fact this post is largely a copy.paste and edit job)

I will be away from the Thursday before the start until the following Tuesday, so will probably only have very brief opportunities, if any, to check teams submitted in the last two days or process early results. I may not be able to warn you if you select riders who are not in the race or if your team is overbudget if it is after Thursday morning.


Team of exactly nine riders If you pick someone who is not riding, I'll replace him with the next cheapest of his team, or the next cheapest in the race if there is not one in his team.

Budget Budget will be 3500 points. If you are over budget, I'll take out the cheapest rider who can be replaced with a cheaper member of his team that will bring you into budget, or the next cheapest in the race if there is not one in his team (first in alphabetical order if two or more meet that definition).

Price of riders
CQ score for 12 months to 13th August, for which the update file that CQ released on Monday 14th will be considered definitive.
There is a dropbox spreadsheet of riders likely to participate and their prices for the game, and a facility for checking the team total.

Submitting your team
By personal message to me, either here or at CN.
Please wait until the accurate prices are available.
Please send the team with names formatted as per CQ. (Surname[space]Forename and nothing else: Spanish/Portuguese names need particular care, as do accents or other diacritics) Please do not riders' teams and prices. It makes an enormous difference to the efficiency of adding teams. If you use the dropbox spreadsheet it will be a simple copy and paste job.


I have lodged my team with the first person to submit a team (Hayabusa).


Deadline
The start of the race, which I believe to be Saturday 19th August at 5:30 pm (CEST, 15:30 UTC)

Scoring
Points issued according to the points tables of CQ (column GT2). Note there are no points issued for the young rider category.

Entries will be listed here, when and as I get a chance. If you are on another forum, by all means plug the game there.

Good luck to all.

[Armchair cyclist]

15 of the teams are (according to PCS) finalised, the prices are fixed, the dropbox team selector file is updated, my team is lodged with Hatabusa: the game is fully open.

[Armchair cyclist]

If you don't want to use the Dropbox, Search has again made up a team list with the prices and correct CQ names here at Velorooms.

If the CN forum had csv tables facility, we could post it here too, but...

[Armchair cyclist]

Eight teams in so far: a reminder that you have until Saturday late afternoon, but only until about 12 hours from the date stamp on this message if you want me to check your team. I suspect I will have very little on-line time after that until Tuesday: normal updates should be available after that.

Good luck, all.

[Armchair cyclist]

Thanks to those who have sent teams in, and to alert managers who had selected Sam Sanchez and have sent in adjustments.

Sorry I can't keep the teams in list updated, but I don't see much risk of entries getting lost in the ether.

A reminder to those still pondering to submit your team by the start of the TTT, 9 hours to go.

[rote_laterne]

Thanks for putting these games up year after year. Just submitted my team. Good luck to everyone.

[rote_laterne]

Alaphilippe and A. Yates scored me the first 12 points.

[Hakkie2]

Alaphilippe and A. Yates scored me the first 12 points.

I already have 31 points, thanks to De Marchi, Alaphilippe, Poels and De Clercq

[Armchair cyclist]

My absence in the last couple of days before the race started didn't seem to make too much difference to the number of entries, and apart from one manager trying to sneak in a tenth rider, all teams were legal and within budget.

Red points

This is the main category: it is made up of the guaranteed points, plus the point for GC, points and KoM competitions as though the race was finishing with the most recent stage. Large swings can happen, and negative points on the day are possible.

1 AmisVelo 1314 (Nibali, Roche, Chaves, Yates A)

I think I have never been so popular.
No surprise that Nibali is on almost every team.
Great ride by Haller today.

Standings

2 of the three teams with Chaves move into the top ten (Shalgo and Search), the other, Amis Velo, enjoys an extended lead. His closest challengers yesterday, BikeRacer333 and Carlos Algatrensig, suffered De La Cruz's losses, so Bicycle Boy moves up to second. Bicycle Boy and Geraint Too Fast, the two teams with Froome, are well positioned given the possible (likely?) 270 points to come from leader's bonuses. Emma has the biggest rise of the day: 11 places.

The only team in yesterday's top ten to have moved up at all is Search (from 8th to 5th), but Yellow Knight moves up a couple of places into the top ten. Farther down the table, big rises for Del (9 places) and Hakkie (8), are overshadowed by the 11 place rise of the day's top scorer, Minessa.

Green points
In the Giro and the Tour, the overall winners were not widely chosen, and the teams that had eventual winners did not win the game. It is now looking likely that teams with the overall winner will win the game, but then my record of predictions isn't great.

Red points

Although it was a stage for the GC men, there was not much change in those high GC positions, but Froome moves up a lot in the points and climber rankings.

Standings

The two Proome teams are now on the podium steps after Geraint's 3 place rise. A similar jump brings Leadbelly into the top ten, but it is Los Brolin who has the biggest step forward (7 places) today.

Red points
Despite Roche's best efforts, little difference in the main rankings, although Froome drops in the points rankings as Trentin takes green jersey by right.

Standings
Relatively modest gains and losses today, but still some movement: Laarsland gets Geraint to shuffle along and share his podium spot, Squire has a 4 place jump into the top ten, GPBlanco is riser of the day with 6 spots, and top scorer of the day, Contadoome, gets off the bottom.
