2014 Tour de France CQ game

[uspostal]

Thanks AC for the running, the updates and total organization of the game great job , congrats to the top finishers. Good job to all who picked Nibali I never gave him a chance. I will have to pick with my head and not from my heart next time.

7th place, so I guess I'm satisfied. Still though, the thought of what have happened had Contador not crashed out remains.

Regardless, congrats to Handbrake! And a big thanks once again to Armchair Cyclist for organizing the game.

yep.
and what if Andy schleck had done what we were expecting him to do.

with contador riding, andy could have easily gone launched himself earlier, grabbed a few stage points and also gain some GC points.

but i am looking at the bright side. now AC wont have to decide who should be given first among u and evans

None of my wildcards performed (SPILAK Simon, NAVARRO GARCIA Daniel, TAARAMÄE Rein). Very little TV time even.

Thanks for the game A c.

Hopefully you will run another one for the Vuelta.

In my team almost everyone scored, besided Cavendish: Kittel, Pinot, König, Zubeldia, Voeckler, Pate and Voigt. Hell, even Bernie Eisel scored me some points on the last day.

Turned out to be a great idea not to choose Contador or Froome and take two sprinters and 3 guys who ended up in the Top 10 in the GC. 10th place overall for me and 2nd best without Nibali.

Thanks to Armchair Cyclist for this game. It was the first time I took part and now I am hooked fpr the next one.

congrats to handbrake, big thank you to armchair cyclist.

in the end my last pick renshaw was my best pick as i did not expect so many points from him.

this year i couldn't read the tour, i had contador for the win. my second strategy would have been without contador but with frank and talansky, so it would not have changed anything for me.

since playing those CQ games i enjoy the races more (having more riders to cheer for) even if the main picks abandon.

see you at the vuelta?

I really enjoyed the tour edition. Is there a chance this kind of game will also be organized for the Vuelta?

 

[NairoQ]

Did anyone try to make an ideal team?

Yes, Armchair will do it. He does all the smaller CQ games (GT's and classics).

Ever felt taken for granted? But yes: I hope to prepare tomorrow.

Vuelta wouldn't be the same without you doing the CQ Game.

Your just way better at it then all of us that play the games.

Seriously though, I for one (and I'm sure everyone else as well) really appreciate all that you do on these games. I'm sure it takes a lot of work, but thanks a lot for taking the time to do it.

It shows the massive amount of respect we have for you.
Without you doing the game, it simply wont feel right.

Sorry for lack of emoticon yesterday: I enjoy the challenge really.

And thanks for the votes of confidence.

And the Vuelta game is now launched.
