2023-25 Emerging Riders CQ game

EvansIsTheBest · Jan 18, 2024

Unique pick Axel Mariault is currently third in the TDU GC. It won't last but it's still nice to see him do stuff.

but you didn't trust him enough to go with him again in 2024-26 (and nobody else trusted your tip from last year)

Based on his performance on Willunga hill maybe I should have.

Standings
A rather mediocre month of scores for Devil's Elbow, but he holds on to the lead, having outscored the rest of what was the top 5 at the beginning of this period. That means those who were further back now move into strong challenging positions, most notably the top three this month.

Penhoet injured and I suddenly score much better compared to other players.

Yes, but whether that it causal (21 of the 43 teams have Penhoet) depends on which rider you have instead of him: if that is Hessmann or Gloag, it's not the reason.

Why not?

Penhoet was outscoring Hessmann and Gloag last year. So if they're even now, that's like a gain for me compared to last year.

Armchair Cyclist · Mar 7, 2024

Hessman and Gloag haven't scored this year (same as Penhoet), so they are not the reason that you "suddenly score much better compared to other players".

But moving up is good, but allow yourself to feel good about it by celebrating your picks rather than belittling your achievement by attributing to the absence of a rider on other teams. Yay for Morgado, Segaert, Christen and Thompson (less popular than Penhoet and got you some return this time around)

Anderis · Mar 7, 2024

But Penhoet was the most popular rider I didn't have and who was doing well, so I very much attribute this to him being absent from the equation.

If you see what I was writing last year, I was kinda surprised that I was doing average despite feeling good about many of my picks. I figured out that missing out on Penhoet was the reason, and the fact that most of my good picks were very popular.

Am I really supposed to be proud of Reuben Thompson's 37 points this year? He's been a rather average pick, less than what I had hoped for when I had picked him.

Armchair Cyclist · Mar 7, 2024

Sorry:really wasn't trying to find an argument. The game has its swings and roundabouts: enjoy the swing.

Cordi333 · Mar 7, 2024

Looking gooooooooood

rote_laterne2 · Mar 10, 2024

Top three this month and back in the top ten, yay.

My team definintely profits from Penhoet's injury as I picked Phitie instead and he may also profit from a changed/better race schedule.

That's a pretty close top 5, and plenty of history in these games of teams making a late surge for glory. Nearly halfway through, and no telling who might be the favourites.

Standings

Cordi was second in this update, so stretches his lead, but it is still short of imposing as the game moves into its second, presumably more productive, half.A poor July for Fivezzz means that the two teams on the other podium steps are on the up.

Your mistake there was placing yourself just ahead of this month's best scorer at the end of the last session.

Poor tactics, you should have thought that one through 20 months ago

Don't be fooled. I'm just slipstreaming!

Btw, I'm already preparing my 24/26 team... I made a prelist of 30 riders that will give me headaches to make it just 18... So I was following those riders in the last races to see if someone goes over the limit, and in Langkawi I've sufferet a big disappoinment with a good result of a rider I like a lot (which seems crazy, I know) because it means I won't take him in any emerging game.

The rider is Pablo Castrillo, in 2022 he was the best u23 rider in the spanish amateur calendar, but I didn't think he would be doing so great and making big results from the start of his pro career (having almost 0 experience at international level) so decided to sit and wait 1 year... Big mistake. The lad looks awesome, and also is kind of a late bloomer, as he wasn't a smoking hot talent as a junior. Also, without results at u23 UCI level and not being in the WT, I believe he would have been a very interesting rare pick.

His older brother Jaime was also very good, but sadly ended his career last year for mental health issues, so just for a handfull of months they couldn't be together in the same team.

A shame he couldn't be in my team (as I said, I should have risk a bit and pick him already in 2023 fresh from the amateur circuit) but it's nice to see him doing so great

Btw his older brother Jaime returned to racing at amateur level and was 3rd at the spanish elite championship, where the bros could race together for the first time ever in a competition. And now he's racing for a portuguese conti team.
