2024 Giro CQ Game

RedheadDane · May 12, 2024

So, Martinez gets 2nd, and gets a load of points.
Fat lot of good that is when Lutsenko loses even more!
I do feel like O'Connor is missing here, though...

O'Connor had a net gain of 30 points yesterday. It's just a case of where I put the threshhold for posting the rider changes: he would have been next if I had extended it a bit. Really can't remember why I stopped where I did except that it makes sense to stop somewhere. It was still included in your score (so RhD yesterday was Martinez +55, O'Connor +30, Cepeda -5 and Lutsenko -95, net -15 as shown)

That sort of thing would have been clearer (or you would have had the opportunity to investigate for yourselves) if I had posted the link to the Spreadsheet. Here it is I had hoped to do a bit of analysis of the Team similarities and the composition of the Collective Wisdom team before putting it up, but time has rather got away from me in the last while, so you can dig into that for yourselves!

On the whole, smallish scores today, so not much change on the table. But enough for previous leader Peixotini to get back into the podium.

Armchair cyclist · May 13, 2024

Withdrawals in week one have not hit too hard, the main exception to that being Yellow Knight, who only has 5 of his cohort still on the road, having lost 1595 points worth of riders for just 10 points return (Lipowitz, Laporte and Carr). Redhead Dane (Lutsenko and Girmay) and Harad (Lutsenko and Lipowitz) each have 2 riders with a cost of over 1000 between them sitting out the rest of the race: Josedin is the only other manager down to 6, while 23 of us are as yet unaffected by withdrawals. As yet.

Stage 10 Up from Pompeii

Purplish points
Breakaway riders are a great bonus way of using up odd bits of the budget, but only if you pick the right ones.
Or maybe your GC contender pick has turned into a stage hunter.

I normally post the full table, rather than just the top ten, for a rest day. This time I am doing so a day (well, one stage, a day and a half) later: so sue me.

A UP stage winner gets Peixotini a large jump forward.

The top ten all have Martinez: they also all have either Milan or Pogacar.
Kazistuta, at least in this classification, would have been better off opting for his B team, which would be third.

Pink points
Basic fact of life in the game: if the stage winner is not the biggest daily gain, it has probably been a more interesting stage.

As he vacates 5th place in GC, other riders move up to gain points (Oldani withdrawal included in the calculation, albeit of minimal effect) .

And that will make for quite a shake up in the standings

The top five after the previous stage all had Uijtdebroecks, so all have fallen. An all new podium is headed by Search, and Scrooll, Anderis and Slow Climber climb rather rapidly into the top ten.

I like this game a lot! Plenty of movement in rankings and I appear to be doing well. Not always sure why I'm going well, but utmost respect to Armchair Climber for keeping it all in order.

@armchairclimber and @Armchair cyclist are not the same person I think, but there are too many armchairs on this forum.

You're right. Thanks to the cyclist and not the climber!

A huge round of applause to AnotherArmchairClimbingCyclist for his great work!

I'm surprised I'm not last, but at some point I will probably also start losing riders.

Sorry it's late, dying family member in the hospital and all sorts of moderator crap that I could do without right now.

Laarsland replaces Googolplex in 10th. Salvarani in 9th also scored, but didn't change position. Not really worth posting a top ten.

Pink Points (a darker shade than the race uses, but that would be virtually invisible on a white background)
About once each GT, when there aren't too many, I show all the changes of points on a stage to those riders that have been selected.

Amis Velo has more points from these riders: Queen Stagiaire's lead is because Bauhaus outscored Uijtdebroecks on stage points before they each left.
Googolplex holds off Salvarani because a third set of 15 points for finishing 51st+ outscores the handful of stage points that Ballerini and Leemreize have to offset Salvarani's loss of Pickerell
Anderis is ahead of Laarsland essentially because Chaves is ahead of Piccolo

Standings
Leemreize came 27th on the stage. So what, you might ask: that moved him up 8 places to 47th, which means he is now getting more than the 15 projected finisher points, which means that Salvarani overtakes Googolplex, as the 4 Pogacar and Martinez teams take the top 4 places.

Standings
Leemreize's late assault on the GC top 40 continues to have more profound effects than he could have imagined. Ballerini won the sprint after 47km, which moved him to 9th in the ciclamino, which also adds 2 points to Salvarani
The difference between the top two and the next two Pogacar teams is Jan Hirt, although QS breaks up that foursome at this stage: Anderis has Chaves to blame for losing a podium spot (but he has a lovely smile, so you can't stay angry at him)

Standings
A couple more stage points for Ballerini, and Leemreize getting another GC place, so Salvarani's lead reaches double figures.
A couple of teams with Milan each move above a team with Pogacar within the top ten, so QS is back on the podium.

Standings
Small slips for Ballerini in the ciclamino and for Leemreize in GC, so the gap lessens, but maybe today was the last day for Swift, Cerny or Munoz to get in the break and make a difference for Googolplex

Standings
So spending 84% of the budget on one rider can be a winning formula, especially when the second best scorer is cheap as chips.
Leemreize picks up a couple of GC places, and Ballerini does likewise in the ciclamino, so barring some catastrophe or a highly unexpected result for Cerny, Swift (B) or Munoz, Salvarani, like his favourite rider, can consider the Rome stage to be a lap of honour.
Leemreize is also part of the reason that Laarsland finds himself on the podium with a real gap, rather than yesterday's tiebreaker, over Anderis (although Chaves losing places means it would have happened anyway)
Amis Velo takes advantage of Bardet's off day to overtake Queen Stagiaire as the top non-Pogacar team, and will consider, with Milan as a favourite for tomorrow, himself to be in prime position to take the third step in the final reckoning.
