About a week and a half to go, so time to launch this one.
For many fans, it is the one day races during the spring that are the essence of the sport rather than the three week marathons. This is your chance to show your expertise in recognising the ability of the riders in the varied routes that such races encompass.
Your team will consist of 12 riders, and your budget is 3000pts, the price of each rider being his 2021 CQ scores: you might have the data left over from your Main game selection investigations, or look at the list here (after setting the year to 2021), or download cq20220101.zip from here.
You will score points (hopefully) at the one day races of WorldTour or ProTour from the last weekend of February to the first of May. There are 25 of them:
Four different categories of race, with 4 different scales of points to be won:
Teams to me by PM at Cycling News or Velorooms by the time the Omloop starts in the (European) morning of 26th Feb; updates on the evening of each race, hopefully.
Hopefully we are going to have a full Spring programme after a couple of disrupted years: we even have an Autumn classic that has changed dates to get involved, having enjoyed its appearance in the 2020 redux version of the game.
Good luck!
