2014 Vuelta CQ game

[diggercuz]

Hesjedal did his bit for you, but slips in GC from Samu, Chaves, Anacona and Niemiec mean that you fall 3 points short of regaining your lead.

Now if Niemec could do the same would be very happy! Be good to get the stage win and regain a few points lost yesterday..

Oliveira hangs on, Hugo draws inexorably nearer with his daily 18 point red jersey bonus, and both teams to score 200+ on the day enter the top ten.

 

[murali]

I thought Hugo wud have become virtual leader by now.

in two stages, almost everyone's points has churned.

i will be missing a few more stages. hoping that i will atleast land in top-30 by then

Both on the road, and in the game, I suspect this will prove to have been the stage that confirms the winner.

Credit to Fus87: an all-African team with less than 2/3 of the spend, and not last!

 

[LosBrolin]

oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

Poor Rigoberto

 

[Akuryo]

So, Knees, Zubeldia, Uran are DNS - half my team

Stage 17

So a week after the withdrawal of a popular expensive Columbian, we have the withdrawal of a slightly less popular, less expensive Columbian as the main fator in the game.

But first, Guaranteed points
Matthews is once again the main sprinter with any presence in the game, but once again yields 40 rather than the hoped for 70 points.

No mountain points today, and few positional changes of any significance: some movement in the green jersey competition, but today was essentially about stage finish and withdrawals.

Very little change: none in the top ten, such that AmisVelo, the top team with Uran, retained his position there. Roude Leiw's 3 place rise was the biggest improvement: Yellow Knight's 6 place drop as serious as it got.

[oliveira]

A nice battle for the top spot! By my side the obvious way to get into 1st is Contador to drop from 1st. I can't root for that though, as I'm an Alberto fanboy. Between me and Hugo87 it is preety much a battle between Contador/Barguil vs Aru/Samu/Dan Martin, so I should hope for a Dan Martin victorious moove today and an epic Samu win tomorrow! That would be -ish!!

You better fix that signature soon

Congratz!

 

[Hugo87]

Ahah thanks guys, I took huge risk with Contador pick, but was worth it in the end.

Oliveira with a alternative team almost won it, feel bad with Quintana's teams since myself at Tour game suffered with those kind rider crashes, but game is game and we need luck.

This kind of Grand Tour CQ fantasy games are my favorite, unlike velogames it's only forum members allowed and everyone picks their teams with a certain degree of knowledge (unless someone trolls, picking all Astana team or something just for fun )

 

[BigMac]

Grats Hugo!

 

[uspostal]

Good job Hugo, as you can see nobody else went out on the Alberto limb. A chancy pick that paid off big, wear your jersey with pride.

Congratulations Hugo!

Diggercuz could theoretically overtake Hugo tomorrow, but the most probable way for that to happen would be for Hesjedal and Sam Sanchez to be second and third in the short time trial. So not very likely...

Standings
With most time gaps between riders on GC too large to be overhauled in a flat 10km time trial, these "projections" are pretty confident.

Hugo's lead is now such that even without the arguable daily red jersey points (Contador has won 198 of them), he would still be in the lead. There were not many positional changes today: Diggercuz moves onto the podium, Geraint moves up 2 within the top ten, and the biggest changes were four steps (forward for L29205, backward for Roude Leiw, Mutschi, Los Brolin and Panda Claws).

KIRYIENKA Vasil 15 0 team

Final Classification (no longer projected points)

The only point changes other than the above today were:
KELDERMAN Wilco 6 4 teams
NIEMIEC Przemyslaw 4 7 teams
...
LANDA MEANA Mikel -2 5 teams
ANACONA GOMEZ Winner Andrew -2 12 teams
NAVARRO GARCIA Daniel -15 26 teams

In the only GC action of the day on the road, there was one change in position in the lower reaches of the top ten (Caruso overhauled Navarro for 9th), and that resulted in something almost identical in the game: AlPacino leapfrogged Beag Righ for 8th.

Final standings:
1 Hugo87 2057
