    The 2026 CQ Ranking Manager Thread

    Can somebody please explain me, what is Lotto´s plan with Kockelmann's schedule? First Figuera Classic, Classic Var, Tour de Alpes Maritimes and now Strade Bianche? I mean I am happy, that they let him ride one-day races, but shouldn´t they let him ride better races, where the chance that the...

    The 2026 CQ Ranking Manager Thread

    Are there any news about Joseph Blackmore, Pelayo Sanchez and/or Stephan Williams? Blackmore had been in the pre-startlist for Algarve, but had been removed without explanation. About the other two I didn´t hear anything yet..

    Tibor del Grosso will start his season in Strade this weekend. So basically one month earlier than his cross friend Nys. Hopefully I didn´t pick the wrong rider...

    Yes, looking at teams with the best looking expensive pick (Tiberi) right now, their performance is indeed not unimportant. We have 16 teams with Tiberi, but only 8 out of these teams have also Seixas and Laporte combined. Laporte will unfortunatly not ride today..

    Strade Bianche 2026, March 7, one-day race

    Would really like to see van der Poel riding this race. Excluding Seixas unpredictability, he would still finish at least second here in my opinion. Seixas is now basically the only dark horse, who could make the race interesting. Don´t see anyone else, who could challenge Pogacar.

    Decathlon CMA CGM Team once needed a thread

    I feel a bit sorry for Kooij. He changed the team from Visma to Decathlon to finally be able to ride the tour. It might be the case, that Seixas now progresses so fast, that Decathlon will decide to send next year already a full GC support team for Seixas to the tour, which means, that this year...

    What happened to Albert Withen Philipsen in Omloop? A pretty dissapointing result for a guy, where you hope that he will get close to 1000 points during the season...

    Just looked up your team and right now it looks quite promising for you. I don´t see an absolute must pick, that you missed and your selection of the expensive riders Tiberi, Morgado, Seixas, Uijtdebroeks seems to be one of the most promising right now... Will depend on riders like AWP and...

    Mauri Vansevenant and Pablo Torres in the startlist for the Giro di Sardegna. Given the field, both should be in for some points..
