    2018-20 Emerging Riders CQ Game

    I was having real trouble putting together a team for this game, so I have collated information from CQranking into a new database to make it a bit easier. The database includes all riders that have scored at least one point between 2012 and 2017 (on the assumption that emerging riders wont...

    Thanks for organising this - I have submitted a team. Suspect it wont do very well, but at least you cant end up making fewer points than last season in this game :)

    The 2018 CQ Ranking Manager Thread

    This should be my tenth post, so I should hopefully be able to submit my team shortly. I suspect I won't do very well as it's my first year playing! Some summary stats for my team: Age Mean = 23 Median = 23 Mode = 24 (only two riders aged over 30) Points 500+ = 3 400-500 = 2 300-400 = 6...

    Teams & Riders Thibaut Pinot discussion thread

    At this stage very hard to know what Froome's race programme will end up being next year!

Either way I think Thibot is generally better suited to the Giro than the...

    Mikel Landa Discussion Thread

    Re: Re: I think Froome took the leadership during the 2012 tour when it was clear he was the strongest rider and that he could have dropped Wiggins in the mountains. He could have probably won the overall, but he definitely would have wrecked Wiggins chances by attacking. He offered his...

    Tejay Van Garderen Discussion Thread

    Unless I have missed something, the cyclingnews story doesn't really seem to suggest that TVG is focussing on one week races, just that Jim Ochowicz thinks he is in good form this year. To some extent whether or not TVG will be successful depends on the other big GC riders, their race...

    The 2018 CQ Ranking Manager Thread

    Thanks - I'll be a bit more active then! I'm using this game as an opportunity to identify some up and coming young riders that I hadn't previously heard of and to track their progress throughout the season. Even though many of these riders are good value, I'm still not sure that this is a...

    Juan Carlos Rojas destroyed the competition in the final stage of the Vuelta a Costa Rica - finishing a huge 8 minutes 20 ahead of the next rider! It's the fifth time he has won the GC of this race!
