2014 Giro CQ game

[Armchair Cyclist]

On the grounds that I scored zero today, I feel it fair to opine that people should feel embarrassed to take points from a stage like that.

Relevant rider points:
NIZZOLO Giacomo 40 15 teams
MATTHEWS Michael 18 4 teams
FERRARI Roberto 15 4 teams
VIVIANI Elia 10 6 teams
MEZGEC Luka 3 3 teams

PCS seem to have scuppered my spreadsheet calculations. I'll need to use that site rather than CQ when I start including projections to final rankings, as CQ doesn't publish daily GC/point/mountain positions. Until today the table on PCS separated perfectly into columns: now the tab separation has ceased. Any help/advice?

may i suggest using the cyclingnews results page. daily points and current points counts can be copy pasted as a tab-separated file. copy-able to spreadsheet.
the results come slow, but this is a simpe copy-paste job.




me above 18Valve at least now. he will go to top when his climbers come to action.

 

[murali]

i get a point at last.
quintana earns me one point.

Today I more than double my total score, had 14 points, only today I scored the incredible amount of... 16 points!

2 Aussiephile teams, featuring both Evans and Matthews, are top point earners on the day, and leap into podium spots.

 

[murali]

aussiphile teams are doing good this time.
Evans and Matthews in top-3.

tomorrow is flat. i just dont know when i will ever make a 10+ points

EDIT: BAD News. seems Roche and Majka are down 15 mins.
that's going to be a huge blow for those who bet on Roche (Grrm...Grm...) and Majka....

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Those Aussiephiles continue to dominate, and take over the top steps. Il Pirata is the big mover among the upper ranks.

Extraordinarily, our 'Collective Wisdom' is less wise than (almost) all of us.

 

[BigMac]

Thanks for the extraordinary effort on keeping up with it Ac.

This is looking good for my team so far. I almost picked Tim Wellens but decided not to, what a shame.

I predict this will be a battle between me and USPostal. I just know it.

 

[Hugo87]

Thanks Armchair cyclist, when projected rankings will start to show up?

I have Uran, Quintana, Duarte, Aru and the mighty Basso, that way my team will look less bad on the rankings.

 

[SKSemtex]

My first ever velogames team (MAKSGIROTEAM) looked pretty promising until todays crush of Purito.

Rigoberto Uran 209
Ivan Basso CAN 26
Joaquim Rodriguez 60
Rafal Majka 132
Elia Viviani 334
Cameron Meyer 103
Luka Mezgec GIA 64
Matteo Rabottini NER 106
Michael Matthews OGE 458

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Thanks Armchair cyclist, when projected rankings will start to show up?

I'm getting there, but without any website that I've found offering a tab separated file that sorts riders reliably, it requires stripping superfluous data out of every rider's entry manually.

I have not removed those riders who finished today but have already made clear that they won't start tomorrow. Officially, they are still in the race until they fail to sign in in the morning.

To my surprise, the two teams with the Aussie double act that have dominated the last couple of days are not miles ahead, but are topped by Handbrake, who has major points from Matthews, Uran, Aru and Basso.

By Saturday evening, when Matthews no longer has 500 GC points, there will be major changes.

 

[Hugo87]

Fantastic job AC, thanks.

 

[mutschi]

My first ever velogames team (MAKSGIROTEAM) looked pretty promising until todays crush of Purito.

Rigoberto Uran 209
Ivan Basso CAN 26
Joaquim Rodriguez 60
Rafal Majka 132
Elia Viviani 334
Cameron Meyer 103
Luka Mezgec GIA 64
Matteo Rabottini NER 106
Michael Matthews OGE 458

Still does, even without Rodriguez for GC. He might win a few stages and still gets points for top 10 GC.

[BigMac]

Thanks for the update Ac. Today was a good day.

 

[murali]

i dont know how many are kicking themselves for not choosing ulissi!!

Quintana guys are getting some decent points now.
But those who chose evans are the real gainers so far in this giro.

 

[saneguy]

Very surprising that none of the teams have Ulissi on their roster.

Il Pirata might disagree with me: he dropped from 5th to 43rd. By contrast, Handbrake lost more points, but only fell to 4th, and the rider who had the third worst daily losses (JSG) held his podium spot. Of those now in the top ten, the highest riser is Tanja, who was 16th yesterday.

And the guaranteed points:
Same leader either way...

[murali]

Very surprising that none of the teams have Ulissi on their roster.

at 1000+ he was a bit on the costly side. no one expected him to do well in GC.

he is 6th now in GC, but not expecting him to be so high next Sunday.

 

[murali]

why are there -ve points for a few?

 

[Hugo87]

why are there -ve points for a few?

Changes in the overall classifications.

 

[murali]

thank you.

no wonder i am not last in that list.

 

[murali]

Another 1pt day for me.

AC will hav to do lot of job today due to pozzovivo's attack.

I could have chosen kiserlovski+basso instead of roche+hansen.
