    Heras sort-of qualifies for this, even though he stopped riding at the end of 2005 due to a suspension rather than voluntarily (and only had his Vuelta win reinstated later).

    The 2026 CQ Ranking Manager Thread

    I had a baseline cost of 7456 for my winning team in 2024. In 2023, I finished 8th with a baseline of 7477. Last year, I was at 7490 and finished 41st. My team is 7499 this year, so I can only assume I am heading for the bottom of the table.

    Tour de Pologne 2025, August 4-10

    Are you saying he will finish minus-16th at the Vuelta? After all, if 85th leads to first, this must lead to an even lower number.

    I guess I was wrong thinking that Brennan was washed having reached the ripe old age of 20.

    The 2025 CQ Ranking Manager Thread

    That’s my fault, I think, for picking Nys. I had several years’ worth of good luck last year and now I am getting all of the make-up illnesses and crashes this season.
