    Tadej Pogacar and Mauro Giannetti

    Not saying: "He is showing them how to ride a bike". Not interviewing Gianetti at the finish and saying how amazing everything is. Don't give such a manager the light of day, no interviews with him. Instead mention the tainted past of the team. Sponsors will then think twice before paying such...

    Tadej Pogacar and Mauro Giannetti

    I am afraid Pogacar is like Indurain. Never caught but obviously on some sauce but still well regarded. Hopefully something is done about Pogacar as it is ridiculous but I am afraid that won't happen. Personally I can't take the press and commentators anymore with statements 'best period in...

    He was supposedly cooked. He was still gaining time on everyone except MVDP (PR) and Evenepoel/Skjelmose (AGR). That's not being cooked.

    Tadej Pogacar and Mauro Giannetti

    I don't understand cycling nowadays. Everything is power and it is in finite supply. That's why we saw measured riding, trains and accelerations only at the end. That made sense. We also saw differences between classics riders and GC riders. That's all out of the window. In a field that is...

    Uijtebroeks stating he is suffering from same problem as last year. No power in the legs. They thought they fixed it but... No. My team, already low in rankings, is receiving more and more hits.

    Only now see I accidentally picked Lamperti instead of Magnier. Oops! Was happy with results until I realized my blunder. Doing it in a hurry without double checking, ouch.

    Definitely robbed with regards to Ganna! I am happy he went for it to get CQ Points but UCI robs us all.

    The 2025 CQ Ranking Manager Thread

    Curious for feedback then on Team Creation. Will tell me if I should spend time on it or not (if excel is prepared). Not finished yet (you can't save) and will be after login once you can save to make sure it doesn't end up with a lot of spam (as the internet is infested with bots)...

    It's now possible to claim your team after you sign-up through google (so I don't need to mess with passwords etc.). Afterwards, still to be put live, you can create teams for upcoming games.

Then there won't be any issues with changing names etc. Teams will not be visible to anyone else until after first of March (except to Armchair Cyclist). I'll also join the game and will be the...

    Thought one player, rufs, had Jack Burke. Jack who now is on training camp with IPT (who have no places). However, just before deadline he removed him for another rider. That I missed initially so was looking for who had Burke but couldnt find it. Would have been a great story if he had made it...
