    2026-2028 Emerging Riders CQ Game

    Apparently I chose a very generalist team. I'm gonna look for some more unique picks next year, that could be more fun.

    The 2026 CQ Ranking Manager Thread

    I considered Uijtebroecks and I think he's a great pick. Just didn't fit with my team, I would need to discard Bettiol/Nys/Soderqvist. Bettiol apparently is my most unique pick. He was mainly ill and injured last season. I didn't pick Landa cuz he's 36 I agree with you about Nordhagen. I'm...

    Many thanks for the convenient platform. Edit: Not necessary, but maybe a statistic that compares 1 team vs 1 other one, to see which riders you have common could be interesting

    The 2026 CQ Ranking Manager Thread

    Good luck to everyone! I'm looking forward to participating for the second time and improving my 13th place from last year. Will it be available on this (link) page again? It was very convenient! I'm building my new team. I consider picking a lot of "cheaper" riders this year, but probably the...

    He was injured before reaching his main objectives in 2024 season. In 2025, with his abilities, he could have achieved so much more. He tends to give up if he doesn't have a decent chance to win. Afraid to lose it looks like. That started in Jaen this season, where he suddenly led the peloton to...

    Unfortunately, my team is crushed by the Vingegaard teams (and Del Toro/Almeida ones). Vingegaard proves to be a better pick than Van Aert with like 1000 points above his value. Additionally, Gee, who could have taken a few hundred points, has left the team) Almost all my picks were okay this...

    I'm falling back in the ranking, but I still believe in a top 5. Gregoire still leading the classification in Brittain, while also on the starting list for Luxembourg

    Oh nooo. All my hopes on Gee to give me some autumn points fade away. I need a 1-2-3 at the World Championships for Healy, Gregoire, Lutsenko now ;)

    2025 Tour de France CQ Manager game

    Hello. May I ask how I should understand the scoring? As I understand, the green points are the CQ points per stage, meaning they will stay until the end. The yellow points, are the CQ points that you would get in case the standings will not change? So Healy would get 600 CQ points for the GC...

    Same for @Devil's Elbow . Both are catching up really quickly! Hopefully, Gregoire (Suisse) and Ganna (Belgium) will increase the gap a bit

    @SafeBet will be my reference team. This team is the first Vingegaard team and just like me, has Van Aert, Brennan, Magnier, Gruel and Del Grosso. I am 1000 points ahead. I expect another 2000 points from Vingegaard, so my other riders (Gregoire, Healy, Gall, Gee) need to bring in another 1000...

    2025 Giro CQ Game

    Congratz for those who picked Del Toro! I didn't see his good result coming and didn't even consider him. Had high expectations from Ayuso, Arensman, Poole and Rubio. Only Rubio is steady. Not my best game,

    2025 Giro CQ Game

    Mainly missing S. Yates. I considered changing my team just before the deadline and include him, but I decided to stick with Rubio. I expect a lot from both Yates and Rubio. It is a gamble, but if Yates disappoints, I have a chance to do very well in this game
