Sent my team already, pretty sure it's valid.

Looking forward to seeing who gets second :cool:

Still going over a few things, not sure whether to hedge my bets and pick and couple of sprinters as there are so many flat stages in the first 2 weeks.

Had the same problem. The sprinters who will win stages are all pretty pricey and have no prospect of any GC points. But then with no sprinters you forego nearly half the stage points.

Can anyone put the link to the game plz?
Have been shearching all around and couldn't find it.
The link I got from last year only gives me 2012 races.

CQ were a day late posting the update, and then I got involved in real life (apparently we have to find a 'nice' place to get married in)

However: it is now here on Mediafire.

I hope I have the teams correct: Garmin seem determined to keep me guessing.

Thanks, great work:D
Some small error in the simulation sums (try 4 gets summed under try 1 etc), but I'm sure everyone will find it very helpful. First draft of my team ended up with 3111 points spent, so the limit of 4000 is certainly no obstacle for creating an exciting team;)

The game is purely in this thread, run by armchair cyclist. The poster "cqmanager" is no longer maintaining the website you went to.

See the OP for the details.

I've corrected that, made a slight layout adjustment, and put Navardauskas in in place of Rasmussen.

And over a dozen teams in already...

Thanks for the update, I better get around to finalising my team
Thanks for the team advice in the file by the way :D

I have 13 riders on my yearly CQ ranking game that are riding the tour. A bit uncertain how many that will get a place for the Tour de France game, but I think there might be as many as seven... Would be interesting to hear what others feel about keeping a rider for both games.

I guess there is one rider because of his price in both is pretty much a no-brainer for inclusion in both

I couldn't decide whether or not to buy that guy in this game though. Cheap is good, but there are only 9 slots...

Team sent. Not as sure about it as I was about my Giro team, but we'll see. Took a chance and went with 2 youngsters that I think could do well in GC. As well as one expensive rider who could do really well but just as easily not. Hopefully the chances I took pay off.

When I made my team it looked ok but now at second glance it appears I have made a compilation of the least reliable riders in the peloton :eek: At least I have 8 potential top 10 riders, so it'll be interesting to see who will take the longest to fail me.

I took Hesjedal instead of Evans in the Giro game because I already had Cadel in my year long team. Guess how that turned out :eek:
