The end of the 2027 season may seem a long way off, but young riders will be dreaming and speculating about what impression they will have made on the sport by then, and so can you.
Your challenge is to pick 18 male riders (hopefully @Samu Cuenca will give us a female emerging riders game again), each of whom has less than 200 (so max 199) CQ points in his career to date. Your goal is to pick them so that their total CQ score over the next three seasons will be as high as possible.
I will put up a huge list in a week or so (I'm away for a few days), and a potentially more helpful list shortly after the entries for the main CQ game of the year have closed, with riders from the entries in that who are eligible. In the meantime, to check on CQ, go to the rider's page (eg Tom Donnenwirth, here), and if you don't trust your arithmetic, click on the dark red, bold 'Points' at the bottom right of that table, and you will find that CQ has done the adding up for you (so Donnenwirth is priced out)
When you have your 18 names, send them to me by PM (preferably in the format that CQ uses, not always obvious for Danes, Portuguese, Spanish/South American or Eritrean/Ethiopian riders). Closing date will be 23:59 UK time on 20th January, so before the Tour Down Under (though I wouldn't expect many of our young guns to be scoring very highly there). There will be some point scoring opportunities before that: let's hope it doesn't slant the advantage too much over the course of 3 years. (But if you want to choose a load of Aussies and Kiwis in the hope of being the early leader, feel free: you wouldn't be the first.)
I aim to do updates approximately monthly, or as near to that as real life, GT & Spring Classics games, and occasionally not being arsed will allow.
Good luck and enjoy the game.
