2024-26 Emerging Riders CQ game

Page 7 - Get up to date with the latest news, scores & standings from the Cycling News Community.
Year 1 Month 6 27 June to 7 July

This data is nearly a week out of date, but this is as good a chance as I will get in the near future. An outstanding performance in stage 1 of the TdF among the first years for the game, but FvdB II is far from the top in this 6 week block.

Larry Langosta had 2 of the good picks this session ans unique selections, but having missed out on the good popular ones undermines that. It's not so much who you have in a team, it's who you don't not have.

Standings
Jon E was already winning, and then top scorer in this period, so he moves farther clear of 2nd, who increases his gap over third, who extends his margin to 4th.

Better try to get these updated before I have Vuelta game duties.

Year 1 Month 7 and a bit into 8: 8th July to 11 August

The Tour and the Olympics pretty much passed these guys by, but while we were watching those, a couple of these picked up significant points

These games are about how the whole squad performs, and despite that magnificent unique pick, Samu is well down into the bottom quarter of teams this month.

Standings

Most of the position changes are sliding above the few teams without Christen minor, but JPettersen advances on the podium. There were 22 places between the top two on this set of results, but only 68 points, and the peloton are not looking hurried in pulling them back.

A few riders relevant to this game are riding in La Vuelta, but only one of them has any level of expectation. We'll see whether the points there are significant or not in a few weeks time, or whether other races are more fruitful.

But now that we are talking about the Spanish race in a CQ context, you wouldn't expect me to not remind you: get your team in by Saturday afternoon

Standings
Rare pick Blackmore, who pretty much defines what I thought these games would be about in, boosts Leadbelly back to the top. SafeBet, who is emerging as the master of these games, moves up ominously, and monthly top scorer Nakazar enters the top ten halfway up it.

Standings
Jon E was already 2nd and as top this time around he has virtually closed the gap. The separation between 2nd and 3rd is 44 times as big as that between the top two. Most of those already in the top 56 were in this month's top ten, with Safe Bet losing a bit of ground. JPettersen gains the most significant move, and Anderis follows him into the top ten.
