Between you all, players of this game picked 191 riders that are also eligible for the Emerging Riders CQ game, i.e. they have not yet achieved 200 CQ points in their career. Many of you will therefore already have the backbone of a team in your spreadsheets or on the backs of your envelopes...

You're aware that the Tour is in July? And that most of the distance in these stages is not in England?

Not least for the commentators. Hawick and Trough in the first couple of days to catch out the unwary, then they hit Wales...

What on Earth is the Zakharin prize? For going more slowly down mountains than up them?

And yet Chaves can't be more than 14 in that pic.

I'm not sure I am qualified enough in the aesthetic tastes of the community to make a shortlist of 10 for a poll, but proposals for best3/worst 3 according to our own tastes? I'll go Best: 1: Euskadi 2: Unibet 3: Jayco (but none I'm really keen on) Worst: 1: NSN (a mess) 2: Ineos (white...

You'd need to take that up with them...

I supplied Shakes with the list of PCS names vs CQ version. It was only a few days ago, but PCS has changed its version of MN's name in that time. Because there is no apparent way of getting at the codes that PCS uses internally (on CQ the rider codes are in their downloads and in the URL), it...

The upcoming races tab probably should be removed. CQ doesn't offer that information, so it's a whole extra set of mapping one set of IDs onto another that I have not tried to put together for Shakes, and that he would then need to encode.

80! is a heck of a lot of riders (approx 7.2 x 10^118)

7 Saber seem to make tracksuits/hoodies/t-shirts etc.

That's a brilliant facility that Shakes has put up for us. Team similarities are there, and it will track progress through the season (or regress, for me having started well) A thousand thanks.

Bardiani CSF 7 Saber I think we have now seen all the WorldTeams and all the ProTeams bar Burgos. (on the men's side, I'm not as sure about the women's)

Happy to talk someone through the methodology of my spreadsheet if they want to take it on (its a bit different to the other games), but I think I am at capacity.

There is a parallel discussion going on in the team's thread in the clinic: some of you would be well advised to continue the theme there rather than here...
