2014 Vuelta CQ game

[murali]

i am already feeling bad for choosing Kelderman instead of other GC riders who were cheaper than him

 

[BigMac]

Dead last, how embarrassing.

ArmchairCyclist, sent you a new team and a few pennies. Do your thing.

 

[NairoQ]

Well, Hugo87, you might just win another GT here! I don't see anyone beating Contador now.

 

[murali]

yep. Hugo took a nice bet, and it paid off.
Saddened by Quintana fall. I lose loads of points and hope

 

[Hugo87]

Well, Hugo87, you might just win another GT here! I don't see anyone beating Contador now.

Well I took the risk on Contador and his paying off, even without the Quintana fall (which off course I didn't like) he would be leading right now.

But other teams with Uran and Anacona are still ahead of me, plus Guardini gave me 0 points till this point and i don't have Chaves too.

1º, 15º (Barguil) and 16º (Navarro) won't be enough to win.

 

[NairoQ]

Still, i was thinking someone with (Quintana-Froome) would win or someone with (Contador-Froome), depending on which one did better: Quintana or Contador. A lot can happen, but I place my bets on you!

There have been major changes in GC, and therefore in the projected points.
URAN URAN Rigoberto 205 10 teams
CONTADOR VELASCO Alberto 166 1 team
SANCHEZ GONZALEZ Samuel 96 5 teams

ARU Fabio -25 23 teams
CHAVES RUBIO Jhoan Esteban -38 30 teams
BARGUIL Warren -45 12 teams
QUINTANA ROJAS Nairo Alexander -380 22 teams

The rider who defined the leading teams yesterday has lost 70% of his projected points, so many points shed: those who remain in the black today are for the most part those with Uran.

Los Brolin now leads both tables, while the only team to include Contador is now 6th, possibly with many 18 point red jersey daily bonuses to come. Five new teams in the top ten, who have risen by an average of 19 places: indeed, the average positional change is 13 places, the extremes being LightBing's 31 place leap from 45th to 14th, and BicycleBoy's plummet from 18th down 26 places to 44th.

 

[murali]

Another GT where my main bet crashed. At least he hasn't quit the race yet.

Edit: Nairo crashed and abandoned.
(at least he didnt abandon in stage 1)

 

[Afrank]

What is it with the high priced guys I pick crashing out? First Contador in the Tour and now Nairo. Hopefully someday the picking the high priced guys strategy will work for me.

Maybe it's a good think I went with Quintana-Froome instead of Quintana-Contador.

 

[BigMac]

Quintana out means I'll go up a few places. Now all I need is my picks to deliver, starting with Urán.

The top two hold firm, but the lower reaches of the top ten are invaded by a bunch of Aru's teams.

Projected points
The 22 teams who lost 380 points on Quintana lose another 120 today, as the first major investment to fall away takes 44% of those teams' spending with him.

The three teams lined up behind Los Brolin all overtake him to take over the podium positions. Trudgin makes the biggest progess (20 places), while among the tumbling Quintana teams, LiamP falls farthest (19 spots).

 

[Roude Leiw]

Well, well some "real" stages in and i go down from top 10 to 30. Hope Guardini does sth today....

 

[NairoQ]

Yesterday I still had some hopes, like Quintana still climbing up some places to only increase my amount of points, but no. Extra-sad because I guess I'm losing my overall-ranking first place to Hugo87 here.

 

[murali]

my slide to bottom has started

If Froome & Kelderman dont improve, i think i will be fighting for the last spot

4 Mellow_Velo 10 (from 48th to 41st)
6 Roude_Leiw 5 (from 39th to 36th)
7 Handbrake 1 (stays 10th)
7 Search 1 (from 31st to 32nd)
9 Everyone else 0

Projected
Other than the above, the only points changes are the unchosen Stuyven getting 1 point that Uran (10 teams) loses for 10th place in the points rankings, and 5 teams that have Hesjedal losing 2 points to CA Sorensen (unselected) for a swap of 33rd and 34th on GC.

V little change in points or position: the slightly changed top 5 is
1 Diggercuz 1388
2 Oliveira 1326 (up from joint 4th with Los Brolin)
3 Leadbelly 1322
4 Ruvu75 1316
5 LosBrolin 1300

In changes of Hesjedal/Sorensen type significance, L29205 and JosephD swap 38th and 39th places, and Crevaison soars past Search to claim the prestigious 43rd spot.

Yep, that really is as exciting as it got today.

 

[murali]

I hope Kelderman attacks today and earns me some points

 

[diggercuz]

Well my goal for this game was to sneak into the top 10. Very pleasantly surprised with the current situation.

Still, I am gutted Quintana retired. Anyway, now it's time for Aru to shine!

Few positional changes, so other than stage placings, withdrawals have the main impact.

(who-hoo: podium on the day)

Standings:
Coming last on the day is not the way to maintain an overall lead: Diggercuz is passed by the three teams below him, and we have another new leader.

You must believe in Aru&Uran combo.

You must believe in Aru&Uran combo.

Nah, hope is lost.

The objective now is to avoid being lanterne rouge. Thanfully there's Cineteq who played it clean, unlike his compatriot Hesjedal, to give me some competition.

Nope, most certainly not!

can only hope Ryder comes through with the win, certainly could use those points to regain what was lost in that very very poor performance yesterday...

Stage 14
The GC shake up will make more of a difference than stage points, but a nice bonus for a few teams there:

LosBrolin was one of the seven to draw a blank, but remains in front. AmisVelo, his closest challenger, is not a poster on either site but is a local contact of mine. Dazed and Confused re-enters the top ten with a large leap.

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.
