    The 2025 CQ Ranking Manager Thread

    Horrible startlist for me for the upcoming italian classics. Lipowitz not scheduled anymore, but therefore riders like del Toro, Vine, Powless, Ciccone, Arensman, Pellizzari, Hindley, Piganzoli all about to race... Until next sunday pure damage limitation for me...

    Hmmm, not in the startlist for Emilia and also not for Tre Valli... What's up? The Italien classics should have been his last season highlight, where he wanted to participate in good form...

    Although the best of your riders came in with more than 6 minutes behind, it was still enough to pass me in the overall ranking with nearly 100 points advantage for you. Good for me, that Magnier already started to eat into that gap today..

    Lidl-Trek (no longer Radioshack-Leopard Trek)

    Any idea, what´s up with Albert Withen Philipsen this autumn? After he had some pretty good results early this season, he only raced the Tour of Danemark since june..

    Does it compensate your frustration about Rondel´s withdrawl from the startlist of Langkawi? ;)

    Yeah, my rarer picks once again didn´t deliver. Demare again a disappointment (I think I will never again pick a sprinter, who is older than 30 years) and Geoghehan Hart also not delivering in Luxemburg. Graat the only one who scored a few points.. This week will also not be good for me as my...

    Gall rode the Tour and the vuelta for GC and his form was clearly dropping in the last couple of days in the vuelta. He already has a lot of racedays, so I don´t even expect him to race anymore this season. I would replace Gall with Demare in that comparison. There are still a few sprinter...

    That´s not the reason I think. In the first days after the tour, the team already communicated, that he will not ride the Worlds..

    Looking at the startlists of the races in the upcoming 2 weeks, the World Championships will surely be the one, that will have the biggest impact to this game. A lot of popular riders in the top ranks (J. Christen, Plapp, Morgado, Vine, Ciccone, Schmid, Ayuso, del Toro, Hindley, Healy...

    Any news, why he didn´t finish both races in Canada? He just didn´t care or is his form that bad? At least the Montreal race could have suited him on paper...

    To be honest, don't really understand the logic behind this, but I will follow your advice and will not mention you in my posts anymore...

    Sorry, didn´t know, that a few of you still don´t use the website of shakes that much. The data is available every new day, so I'm definitely too impatient to wait for the weekly update every week. But if the mayority just don´t want to talk about it, until the weekly update is out, than I can...

    Btw.: Aside from Salvarani, the overall changed quite a lot compared to a few month ago. Now we have 4 Vingegaard teams in the current Top5. In the beginning of june (Update before the Dauphine) the best placed Vingegaard owner had been on place 16. (@Anderis)

    Wow, that was a really high scoring week! Nearly 2000 points in one week from @Squire. Personally I am regarding this game very glad, that Riccitello could finish the race and bring his GC points home. It would have been a great shame for this game, if he would have to leave early, considering...

    Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2025, Stage 18: Valladolid - Valladolid (12.2k)

    Yeah, and Visma will surely not chase the breakaway. They will of course prefer now, that there will be no bonus seconds at the finish for the GC guys anymore..
