I'll post the 20-22 game update soon: you're a bit better positioned there...Damn I suck at these games. Dead last here and almost last in the 22-24 game. Still time to turn things around I guess...

Year 2, month 5 2-29 May
Not yet living up to previous editions by having a GT winner, but our cohort includes three stage winners and the man who was in pink for 10 stages.
I have no intention of going through the games' archives to find the record for second places on updates, but I bet SafeBet has it already in this edition.
Standings
Apologies: there is a column in the spreadsheet that I change for the Jan/Feb updates, but had forgotten to change back. That means that the change in position month to month has been wrong in the last few updates, and I have been reporting change since end of year one instead. But fixed now.
Ah well, third place is fairly open...

Year 2 Month 8-9a 8th August-11th September
Our picks did much better out of the Vuelta than the Tour or the Giro.
Standings
SafeBet uncharacteristically only scores 11th this month, so some ground is clawed back and the rest of the field become aware that there are some riders capable of decent returns that he doesn't have. But probably not many.
Expect a mid-late October update to bring us to the end of most relevant races for this year. Until then, and with apologies to Bminchow for not having made it easily found earlier, the spreadsheet.

but none of us picked other big scorers this session in Sjoerd Bax, Kevin Vauquelin and Axel Zingle.
Standings
Again SafeBet scores well down in the bunch, but the team in second does not take advantage: we have however seen in the 2020-22 game his ability to fight back in year three. Greenedge's dominant win this month doesn't move him up from 3rd, but means that at least the fight for second could be close over the last year of this edition.
No changes in the top 9, but big strides forward not far behind that for Leadbelly and Los Brolin. They were among the teams with the lowest pre-game scores, and therefore perhaps more of the riders who are still on a steeper upwards trajectory: these two might make inroads in year 3.
Some dark winter's night I will look into the Year 2 performances, and there will be some end of year shakedown of the numbers, but until then, the spreadsheet contains all the data.

End of Year 2
A couple of selected riders picked up points in the dog days of the year:Lukas Kubis took 19 points from a bunch of Moroccan races in early November for Josedin, and Bryan Raul Obando Rosa (I'm assuming he is the same person as Brayan Obando) earned Jakob747 6 points in the Vuelta al Ecuador (and I have also added the same rider's 8 points from the 2021 edition of that race, absent from CQ's end of year file that year).
Neither manager gains any places in the table from these points.
2022 Best riders
Kudos to Leadbelly for identifying the phenomenon that is Arnaud De Lie a year earlier than anyone else. I guess the contrary kind of policy that makes him frequently one of the lowest on the popular picks ranking here was likely to come up trumps at some point.
But it's not enough to make him the top scorer this year: SafeBet repeated his year topping performance of the first 12 months
Top riders thus far 2021 +2022
De Lie comes from virtually nowhere to top the table: only 10 of these were in the best possible team for 2021
So which of the top teams have which of the top riders?
I note that Bminchow is actually doing better than Safebet in terms of their top picks, but strength in depth is a thing.
It has been a dominant performance so far from SafeBet, but just ask Jon Ezeitza about Cordi's Year 3 capabilities. One year to go to see how important the absence of Vansevenant might be, or which riders that have yet to make their breakthrough can shake things up.
And 10 days to choose your riders for the 2023-25 edition.

Jay Vine, winner of the TDU and 457 points this month, is now the top miss that we all missed.
New year, same scoring pattern: SafeBet gets his umpteenth monthly victory.
Standings
A mistake in my spreadsheet mainplations because of different referencing at the beginning of the year: if you saw my earlier message saying that there were no positional changes, ignore it. Nakazar and Leadbelly start the year by getting into the top ten. SafeBet's lead is back to more than 1000 points.

Some solid, if not devastating, performances in the Flandrian races: will the Ardennes see any greater impact?
(The one thing that might have brought SafeBet back within catching distance of the achtervolgers could have Mauri Vansevenant saving Soudal QuickStep's spring in the Ardennes, but I understand he is out of that set of races with a knee injury).

By "achtervolgers" do you mean he's going for the all time scoring record? Nice job!! My battle for the podium is over. Now I try to fight for the best of the rest. Maybe Vervloesem will help me out. What's that you say? he retired? Nice pick BoB. Also, how do i see the most recent spreadsheet? I had saved it as a favorite, but it just shows me the past results.
To catch Amis Velo, Carlos Rodriguez needs to seriously outpoint Sheffield and Jorgenson. Maybe?
To catch RoteLaterne, Carlos Rodriguez needs to seriously outpoint Sheffield and Jorgenson, and a bunch of other dudes like Schelling and Piccolo. Not going to happen

I know but two words/phrases of Dutch/Flemish, both learned from screen captions in races with host broadcasters of those languages: Kop van de wedstrijd (Head of the race), and achtervolgers, those trying to catch up.
In the first edition of this game, I had Ignacio Moser, assuming that he would have good cycling genes: he retired from the sport about three weeks after the game started.
I don't put the link up everytime (yes, it is pure laziness), but it should lead to the updated version at the same location every time I post an update. The link is at the bottom of the Feb update, post #115, 3 above this.

Last year, the Year 3 cohort in the Giro got three stage wins, several days in pink, and a number of GC top 20s. Buitrago, Oldani, Covi and Arensman are, as far as I have spotted, the main riders from the riders relevant to this game that might try to emulate that. Hmmm, maybe not.

Year 3 May 1-28
Last year, I said above, the equivalent group got 3 stages, several days in pink, and some top twenty GC places; this time we have 3 stages again (plus three won by eligible but unpicked riders, no pink jersey but the ciclamino winner, one top ten and three more top 15, plus a huge number of 2nd places on stages. And some riders who did other things.
*: he went on to win it, but those points will be in the next update.
This month
Standings
As if there were any doubt, Safebet gets the monthly win again. Greenedge and Cordi (2nd and 3rd) also make the top ten, but no-one else in the overall top ten does so. So the podium is both more stretched, and farther clear of the rest of us.
And Safebet has got ahead of the Collective Ignorance team.
Hopefully I will get the next update sorted before the Tour. Until then, the spreadsheet.

Hopefully I will get the next update sorted before the Tour. Until then, the spreadsheet.
It happens fairly often: most commonly because CQ make a mistake in crediting a rider with a result, and then correct it. He had 5 points last month that he shouldn't have had,* now he doesn't have them any more (and neither does your team).
* If I had to guess, I'd say Oscar Rodriguez's 5 points for the Tour of the Alps were misattributed temporarily.

Yes, this data is a week old, but the only missing races are the openings of the Tours of France and Austria, so they can be incorporated in the next update more logically. I did the two other current editions early last week, but then got caught up in some event in the Basque Country...
Great unique pick by @Jpettersen (are you still out there?), possibly deserving higher than third this month and keeping the Collective Ignorance score within the reach of at least one team.
Standings
Greenedge, mainly for lack of Ayuso, had a poor month, so Cordi is not only 2nd in June, but now 2nd overall. He managed a spectacular comeback to win the previous edition, but it is very difficult to see Camargo, Carr, Donovan, Sheffield, Tejada, Vandenabble and Walls scoring 1500 points more than Aleotti, Buitrago, Dekker, Plapp, Tiberi, Umba and Vermaerke can tot up over the remainder of the season.
The real battle is between SafeBet and the Collective Wisdom team, and it is only thanks to unique picks by Leadbelly (De Lie) and JPettersen (Skjelmose) that the team that exists to shame us all is not three and a half thousand points clear.
Some riders in the game will harbour hopes of some stage victories in the Tour, while for GC any hopes ride on Skjelmose or Rodriguez to make July a high scoring month.

@Armchair cyclist so you were in the Basque Country and me as a northern spaniard I wasn't
That's on me I think

Only my attention was in the Basque Country. But yours evidently wasn't on the TdF game, despite my ill-composed attempts to promote it on Parlamento.@Armchair cyclist so you were in the Basque Country and me as a northern spaniard I wasn't
That's on me I think
