2012 Tour de France CQ game

[LaFleur]

I only just completed the team because I managed to somehow forget about it :/, hope it counts. I made 4001 points in my first try -.- had to completely change my team because of it

[Armchair Cyclist]

I thought there would be a load of people with my high risk tactic of getting both Evans and Wiggins, and filling up with cheapies: only Hilltop Finisher joined me in this all or nothing approach. We share 3 of the seven makeweights as well: Kern, Kloden and Kashechkin.

So it comes down to Kuschinski, Lancaster, Lloyd and Ruijgh against Kruijswijk, Nuyens, Timmer and Valls: damn, I think I've blown it.

Great work, but you are aware that those are not the game costs?

I'm the only one to have picked Scarponi, oh well, guess that pretty much means all or nothing for me too

 

[CQmanager]

Great work, but you are aware that those are not the game costs?

Ooops, I will look into that. Too many different points values to work with, CQ game, Giro, TDF, Current, 2012, 2011 ...

Either way, those are the most popular picks.

Its 4am here in California ... so I will get few hours of sleep and look into that when my brain is awake ...

[CQmanager]

All of my riders are in the 12 most popular picks.

That should be a good sign! This game will be very close fight till the very end. I think the Giro game gave us good idea of the game strategy so it will come down to crashes, mechanicals, surprises and disappointments

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Vino for 72 points has got to be the best buy in this game, why he isn't the most common pick is a mystry to me

Just a question, how is it possible that Larsson got 15 points with a 49th place today. That's a bit odd to me.

He did pick up those 15 points from the Swedish nationals on Tuesday ... I will have to adjust some numbers around ...

Thanks for noticing and the bug reporting!

okay so the prologue was a total disaster. Better days coming up i'm sure of it

It should be exciting, you have taken an early advantage... I didnt pick Kloden (and Im sure you didnt) as a makeweight though!

As for your edit description does that mean Kruijswijk really is the second coming?

 

[saunaking]

Vino for 72 points has got to be the best buy in this game, why he isn't the most common pick is a mystry to me

Because he's washed up?

 

[vladimir]

I was looking for bargains that I missed on the CQmanager site, and I notice that on the top picks list the points listed are only 2012 points and not real cost for the game. I think more than 12 would have picked Cadel for a cost of 480

I'm sure they would have, but his cost was 1528. It is not 2012 points, it is last 12 months points.

[dlwssonic]

My goodness 8 points is very bad.
Hopefully I will get more in the coming days.

At least I have cadel, gesink, kloden, kittel and menchov.
So I can hope for something.

 

[taiwan]

uh oh my least common pick LLS is struggling with his wrist.

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Well, only 8 points, but at least I have Gesink, Van den Broeck, Froome, Menchov, Rolland and Kruijswijk, so I have something to look out for in the last day

(Also, Renshaw, Valls and Vinokourov might score me some points along the way)

EDIT: HEY WAIT A MINUTE! Renshaw's worth 2 points after stage 2! I should have 10 points

Well, not that it matters much, but I think you forgot to add Renshaw's points for stage 2.

ANOTHER EDIT:
sorry, I guess you counted the prologue as stage 1, I think that's the misunderstanding when I read 'standings after stage 2'! my bad, should've checked better before complaining, sorry!

 

[martyfulu]

we nearly have the same team. wish id picked goss and someone else who costs next to nothing. instead of renshaw and petachhi now. oh well. probably doesnt matter either way.

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

we nearly have the same team. wish id picked goss and someone else who costs next to nothing. instead of renshaw and petachhi now. oh well. probably doesnt matter either way.

Ah yeah, you have Petacchi annd Roche where I have Froome and Vino.

Vino should at least try to win stages or the mountain jersey or something; whether he'll succeed is another question. Froome I have good faith to still make top 10, despite losing over a minute because of a poorly timed flat.

Petacchi might earn some points in sprints, he's old though. Roche I don't know, I suppose he has the potential to do an okay GC.

All in all, I'm fully expecting Froome and Vino to earn more points for me, than Petacchi and Roche would do for you

 

[Panda Claws]

Lol, I have mostly GC men and break-away hopefuls so I probably won't gain much points until the mountains.
