2024 Women's CQ Manager game

[Izzyeviel]

One of them am I... Damn... But to be honest, I have no real clue about women cycling so I just play the game to start following women cycling a bit closer.

could be worse. One year I picked Lizzie as one of more expensive picks. Four days after entering my team she announced she was pregnant...

Probably more significant as a tester for the spreadsheet than for impact on the game, but with points from the Aussie Championships and the TDU (and, had we chosen anyone, the Indian nationals), this is how we stand:

1​	ArmchairCyclist	297​
2​	Anderis	289​
3​	SamuCuenca	276​
4​	Ruvu	257​
5​	DkOne	254​
6​	Leadbelly	242​
7​	Hfgon1	237​
8​	Bminchow	200​
9​	AmisVelo	194​
10​	Rufs	190​
11​	SlowClimber	182​
12​	TRiley36	180​
13​	Salvarani	174​
14​	Izzyeivel	173​
15​	LibertineSeguros	171​
16​	Madrazo	169​
16​	Skidmark	169​
18​	ArchieBoy	168​
19​	MuddyWaters	120​
20​	JonEzeitza	100​
21​	Laurens147	98​
22​	RedheadDane	74​
23​	Josedin	57​
24​	LosBrolin	43​
25​	EvansIsTheBest	40​
26​	DJSprtsch	28​
27​	Otolomanolo	0​
27​	Urkiola	0​
	CollectiveWisdom	244​

I suppose it would be unsporting for me to hope for a renewed outbreak of Covid just for the sake of this, wouldn't it?

There are elements of the spreadsheet that will only really be tested next time (not sure when that will be, I haven't really taken the women's calendar on board), but here it is. I have added a team similarity tab, which I hadn't discussed at the time I put up the data the other day, and also a listing of the expensive picks..

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Hey! i'm not last.

 

[Armchair cyclist]

I feel for ArchieBoy who has Ragusa, cause CQ still doesn't award points for minor classifications.

It does, but only in men's WT events.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

It does, but only in men's WT events.

That's why I pointed it out.

 

[RedheadDane]

Hey! i'm not last.

Me neither!

I guess having a Nordic Themed Team is better than a CX Rider Themed Team!







(At least while all the CX riders are still busy riding CX races...)

 

[Samu Cuenca]

You have Bjørndal Ottestad who fits into both categories, even though she mostly rides CX at home in Norway.

Wonderful but will you update with points pr rider ?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

There's a link to the spreadsheet.

I'll probably mention the top few riders scoring in each time frame. I do the spreadsheet slightly differently from the way Skidmark does in his game: he saves each week as a new file, so has to post a fresh link with each update. I just save to the same location, so the same link remains valid in perpetuity (or until they close down the internet): I don't bother putting the link in every update, but will give a reminder of it from time to time. But the link you have now should always have info to at least the last update.

But the leading riders are essentially as you saw at the finish line this morning.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Helpfully I will never have that problem. I wouldn't even take her for free last season.

 

[Armchair cyclist]

Helpfully I will never have that problem.

Too much sharing.
Oh, I see, the problem that arises from picking Liz Deignan.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Oops, did not clock the double meaning there, yes I meant the problem of picking Deignan only to lose points due to her taking time out for motherhood

 

[Anderis]

Wow, I'm the highest classified player who is not a host of the game! Despite losing 6 points for being too late for Australian ITT championship.

 

[RedheadDane]

Mallorcan Races:

Ahtosalo
Berg Edseth
Fahlin
Henttala
Koerner
Olausson
Ottestad

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Mallorcan Races:

Ahtosalo

Fahlin

Ottestad

I've not fully understood how many riders they're allowed to use in each race, but I assume it's 6, so all your Uno-X riders are probably not riding all 3 races.

I have Mavi García, Olivia Baril and Arlenis Sierra.

 

[RedheadDane]

so all your Uno-X riders are probably not riding all 3 races.

Of course not.

 

[Armchair cyclist]

Up to and Including 28th January
Main races since last time are the Mallorcan events, CEGORR, and Almeria

Rare picks got nearly all the significant points this time around:

RUEGG Noemi	116​	1st, 7th and 2nd in Mallorca	1 (Ruvu)​
BARIL Olivia	87​	Almeria win, 4th in Mallorca	2 (Ruvu, Samu)​
WLODARCZYK Dominika	84​	2nd in CEGORR	1 (Jon E)​
LUDWIG Cecilie Uttrup	73​	3rd in CEGORR	2 (Dk One & RhD)​
EDWARDS (WINDER) Ruth	63​	4th in CEGORR	7​
GASPARRINI Eleonora Camilla	62​	Mallorca win	3​
QUAGLIOTTO Nadia	57​		1​
GARCIA CAÑELLAS Margarita Victoria	52​		1​
SIERRA CAÑADILLA Arlenis	49​		1​
BOILARD Simone	45​		1​
GOOSSENS Marthe	44​		1​
PERSICO Silvia	38​		1​

Ruvu is rewarded for those rare picks: the two of them alone would have had him in second place on this update. Mavi Garcia and Arlenis Sierra are UPs for Samu, which is why it wasn't a total runaway win.

1​	Ruvu	309​
2​	SamuCuenca	280​
3​	Hfgon1	194​
4​	Leadbelly	187​
5​	DkOne	134​
6​	Josedin	118​
7​	AmisVelo	106​
8​	RedheadDane	105​
9​	JonEzeitza	101​
10​	SlowClimber	89​
11​	Bminchow	86​
12​	Anderis	74​
13​	Rufs	73​
14​	Otolomanolo	68​
15​	ArmchairCyclist	45​
16​	Urkiola	38​
17​	Salvarani	35​
18​	EvansIsTheBest	34​
19​	DJSprtsch	33​
20​	LibertineSeguros	31​
21​	Izzyeivel	29​
22​	Madrazo	26​
22​	Skidmark	26​
24​	TRiley36	23​
25​	Laurens147	17​
26​	ArchieBoy	13​
27​	MuddyWaters	7​
28​	LosBrolin	3​
	CollectiveWisdom	89​

and the top 5 in this update take the top 5 slots in the overall, in the same order.

1​	Ruvu	566​	3
2​	SamuCuenca	556​	1
3​	Hfgon1	431​	4

The calendar is still fairly sparse: I suspect that the next update will be soon after the Setmana Valenciana (by which time I will be nagging you for Spring Classics game entries)

 

[Samu Cuenca]

At least there's one game in which I'm not (currently) the Basque-ish guy hanging around at the bottom.

 

[RedheadDane]

UAE:
Ahtosalo
Edseth
Norsgaard
Olausson

 

[Anderis]

There's a bunch of riders who I thought I had on my team that's doing really well recently but it turns out I haven't taken them for this game, just for another game.

 

[Dk one]

Good thing I picked a sdworx rider in Wiebes so there is something to be happy about even they dominate (too many) races.

 

[RedheadDane]

Valenciana:
Anderson
Dideriksen
Edseth
Gåskjenn
Koerner
Aalerud

 

[bminchow]

Woohoo!! Finally a race that I have riders in. Lets see if any of these names can pull it off for me this week.

BALSAMO Elisa
BEGO Julie
EDWARDS (WINDER) Ruth
FISHER-BLACK Niamh
REALINI Gaia
VAN ANROOIJ Shirin
VAN DEN BROEK-BLAAK Chantal
VOS Marianne

Now that is a stacked line up. lets get some 2.Pro points ladies!
