2024-26 Emerging Riders CQ game

[jon ezeitza]

Paul MAGNIER is going to bring a lot of points from now on. It will be very difficult to maintain the lead without him in the team .

[Armchair Cyclist]

There are two teams here that don't have Del Toro, but they are already the last two in the rankings. About to be a lot farther adrift, I suspect.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Year 2 Month 5
May 5 to June 1

Whether he is considered the hero of the Giro or its clown, Del Toro's performance there would have been almost game defining here were it not for the fact that the only teams without him are our more, how shall I put it, individualistic, selectors.

DEL TORO ROMERO Isaac	843​	41 teams​	Stage win, 5 2nds and a 3rd, 11 pink jersey bonuses and 2nd on GC in the Giro
BRENNAN Matthew	326​	1​	wins in Rund um Koln and Tour of Norway (GC and 2 stages)
GRUEL Thibaud	217​	2​	Dunkerque 6th, Matenne 3rd
LOPEZ GRANIZO Harold Martin	191​	3​	Hungary GC win + a stage and leader's pts
TRONCHON Bastien	178​	3​	Tro-Bro win, Finistere 2nd
SILVA COUSSAN Guillermo Thomas	163​	1​	Morbihan 4th, Chateaulin 6th, Stage and GC pts in GP Beiras
GAUTHERAT Pierre	120​	17​
SPARFEL Aubin	113​	1​
PHILIPSEN Albert Withen	102​	9​
CHRISTEN Jan	100​	35​

The top two have Gruel as well as Del Toro, but having Brennen is no substitution for not having the Mexican.

1	Salvarani	1520​	Del Toro, Gruel, Gautherat, Withen, Christen
2	EvansIsTheBest	1413​	Del Toro, Gruel, Gautherat, Christen

[jon ezeitza]

More than half the team is letting me down (Gautherat, Van den Broek, Nerurkar, Foldager, V.Paret Peintre...) The only riders keeping me up in the standings are Isaac del Toro and Harold López. Morgado started very well, but lately he's faded.

4 of those 5 are in the top 18 that could have been picked, two of them as relatively unusual selections. Del Toro is doing nothing for you that he is not also doing for every team apart from the bottom two, and by the same token if Morgado is disappointing you, he is disappointing everyone in the top 33. Arguably, it is Foldager and Paret Peintre that are holding all the Magnier teams at bay for you.
