    That Willunga is cancelled, sucks of course. For this game on the other hand the impact is not that big, as the GC guys already made the differences at another stage. Would have really sucked and distorted the game, when also the other GC stage wouldn´t have happened and all the GC points would...

    So Brenner and Kron the guys for me, who saved the day today. With the news coming out, that Lipowitz will also ride Algarve and Tour de Slovenia, I am not so confident anymore about the decicion to include O'Connor and Mas for Lipowitz in the end. Tomorrow the first race day for my unique...

    2026-2028 Emerging Riders CQ Game

    Just to make sure, I understood the rules. So you can only pick riders, who didn´t scored more than 200 during their whole career. That means Noah Hobbs is not eligible, because he scored 201 points until now, right?

    Well the difference would be 25 GC points for the winner... stage winning points would go from 8 to 4. So will perhaps make a difference of 35 points for a guy like Finn, which is still less points than a 10th place at the Cadel Evans Race. Would be a bit annoying for his owners, but I think...

    Just looked up the popularity table. Did this year really nobody selected Johannes Staune-Mittet? This guy was picked 52 times in 2024 and 32 times in 2025. In 2023 his score was 108 In 2024 his score was 150 In 2025 his score was 206. I didn´t pick him, because there had been just better...

    yeah, heard about that for Evenepoel. Would be surprised, if Lipowitz would not race at least another one. Mas also only the TTT? What sense does this make? I mean, he is not riding the tour this year, where an TTT will be and he is not even a good time trialist..

    So @Shakes website is telling us, that 80! of our picked riders are in the pre-startlists of the Mallorca races. Of course not every rider of these will participate in every race, but it´s still a big number I would say..

    Brennan will also ride 4 out of his 7 spring one day races together with van Aert. We'll see, what this will mean point wise..

    Right now, the last race listed in the overview is the Tour of Oman, which takes place in a bit less than a month. There are defenitly already riders scheduled in the PCS startlists at later races, so I would assume that this limit already exists now. I think, all races in the upcoming month...

    If the data of @Shakes website is correct and I see no reason, why it should´t be, than a sum of 524 riders out of our 91 teams will participate in the TDU, which makes an average of 5,75 riders per team. So with your 11 riders you are definetly on the forefront with your team. The total point...

    Interesting to see, that three picks of the game also participate in the Pune Grand tour. That´s something, I would never have thought of, if we didn't have this new great feature. :D Btw.: Does the fact that the Vuelta al Tachira is not listed mean that no pick is participating in the race...

    Ok, as the lists can be pretty long (Tour Down Under for example has nearly 70 entries), I would prefer that the riders are at least a bit sorted by importance. So price of 2025 as it is now is also ok for me. Alphabetic order I wouldn't prefer..
