Update #31: JumboVismaFan makes it two in a row Another week, another start to a Grand Tour. The Vuelta started on the weekend after a flurry of races during the week, including Renewi Tour and Deutschland Tour. And the winning team was a familiar face from last week's races, it turns out...

Update #30: Rare picks help JumboVismaFan to a narrow win The late summer days saw a flurry of one-day and stage races, with Tour of Denmark, Czech Tour and Hamburg Cyclassics taking the spotlight this week. What resulted was a very close and varied group of teams at the top, with some small...

Update #29: LosBrolin's team is the Strongest There were a flurry of stage races this past week everywhere from the Arctic to the Iberian peninsula. This was reflected by a wide range of scores, and some teams scored real big. This Week's Top Scorers Rank Team Points this week 1 LosBrolin...

Update #28: postmanhat parlays a great week to get to the podium This update included mostly San Sebastien points and some minor races, so generally scores were low, but one team stood out among the rest. This Week's Top Scorers Rank Team Points this week 1 postmanhat 512 2 Kazistuta...

Update #27: TDF GC Shakes up Standings as Kazistuta is on a Roll The week ending July 27th awarded the biggest points of the season, the GC of the Tour de France. Especially this year, with the top riders relatively rare (although with a third of teams in the game having Jonas Vingegaard), this...

Sorry, it finally went up when I was going to the cabin for a couple of days. Update will be up today, then I'll catch up whenever they get this new one out!

No update on the CQ site yet - I will certainly provide the next written update here when it shows up!

Update #26: Kazistuta ekes out the week's win Week 2 of the Tour, which means more stage and jersey points, but very few other races aside from Aosta (giving 25 points for the winner). That makes it a relatively low scoring and close week! This Week's Top Scorers Rank Team Points this week...

Update #25: 18-Valve wins the week with Del Toro in Austria A somewhat, ahem, pithy update this week as I'm on the road, with the first week of the Tour in the books and the 2.1 Tour of Austria GC making up the bulk of the points. This Week's Top Scorers Rank Team Points this week 1...

Update #24: No Harm, No Win This week is always an interesting one in the CQ game, with the TdF sucking up all the oxygen, and TdF stage points only taking up two days of the week. The relatively scarce undercard races in July skew a bit more talent towards Austria, so this year in the case of...

Hey everyone! I'm back in internet service and will be taking over the written updates once again - next one will be coming in the next 24 hours. Huge thanks to EITB for filling in while I was away. Can't wait to catch up on this game again!

Update #12: A fun day for del The classic-est portion of classics season has ended with the Hell of the North in the books, and the always fascinating Itzulia gathering points for teams this week, among some other races such as the typically crash-filled Scheldeprijs. Let's see who made it out...

Update #11: Standings flip again as Rufs wins the week It was a big week in terms of magnitude as Flanders topped the week, but there were a number of other 1-day races for scoring, including the WT Dwars Door Vlaanderen, the 1.Pro GP Miguel Indurain, and a handful of others. This Week's Top...
