2013 CQ Game Classics Edition

[will10]

I think you have confused this with the season long game thread: I don't think you have any Suarez in this game...

lol, didn't twig which CQ thread I was in

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

So only 4 riders up for points today, out of what should have been three of our nineteen races.

 

[jsem94]

Lol, this is off to a cracking start, isn't it.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Simone Ponzi earns 10 points each for sublimit, will10 and LightBing: 8 teams rue choosing the wrong Vanendert brother.

 

[Caruut]

I even had Dennis in one of my preliminary squads.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Points on the Strade Bianchi

LightBing 45pts (Cancellara and Ponzi)
Caruut 41pts (Canc and Slagter)
10 teams 36 pts (Cancellara)
Just some guy 33 pts (Van Avermaet and Slagter)
Geraint too fast 28 pts (GvA)

No more than 12 points for anyone else.
(I can only find the first 19 finishers: there are 5 points for whichever Astana guy came 20th, but I don't think it was Gasparotto who is the only one that might affect our table.)
Edit: It was Aru, not in any team here

[the asian]

Not a bad weekend considering i don't have too many hilly riders in my team.

Pippo 48 pts from Roma Maxima and Iglinsky 7 from Strade Bianchi.

 

[asdfgh101]

Thanks armchair.

So now the initial skirmish is over and we wait two weeks for the battle to resume with 38 of the 41 teams having scored at least 48 points (Pozzato) and no-one one more than 201.

I think that the remaining races will see tonnes of points scored as most teams are aiming to 'peak' for MSR, the cobbled classics and the Ardennes.

 

[sublimit]

Cheers Armchair. I dont think I've ever lead one of these CQ things.. might have to print this page off and frame it because it will probably end in tears for me eventually.

 

[the asian]

Ciolek delivers in style!

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Fool on the hill has Cancellara, Stannard and Eisel: will be new leader.

edit: Or would have been if mc mountain, the asian and Gotland hadn't selected Ciolek. He becomes the first selected rider into the black in this game.

 

[mc_mountain]

Fool on the hill has Cancellara, Stannard and Eisel: will be new leader.

I was hoping Ciolek, Cancellara and Eisel might be enough for me to take the lead

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

I was hoping Ciolek, Cancellara and Eisel might be enough for me to take the lead

Indeed: I had somehow missed Ciolek in my list of selected riders: you will of course be in yellow.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]
