2025 Spring Classics CQ game

The last chance to use all those shortlists and calculations you had made for the 2025 CQ Manager game.

This game uses, as its price list, the end of 2024 CQ rankings. (Make sure you change the date to 20241231 or 20250101) On the basis of that, you will need 12 (male) riders, to a maximum cost of 3000 points .
The budget and squad size were determined after a discussion initiated by @Hugo Koblet when he started the game in 2013: the races that comprise the game have frequently changed, but I finally settled on using UCI categories and the Omloop to Frankfurt dates in, I think, 2021.


Your opportunities to win points will be the 1.WT and 1.PT races from 1st March to 1st May inclusive, which are:

Datepoint scale

27.04​
Liège-Bastogne-Liège1.UWT1
1.05​
Eschborn-Frankfurt1.UWT3

(the list of races is unchanged from last year)


CQ do not consider all WT events to be equal (and I doubt many of us do either), and so there are 4 different point scales:
Scale1st2nd3rd10th20th
1 (Monuments)​
280​
170​
145​

4 (ProTour )​
130​
78​
66​
24​
6​
In the WT races, all finishers get 5 points: in the PT events (scale 4), there are no points outside the top 30




12 is a small squad, and there are a number of race types to target; the different balances of specialities shown in the selections is always of interest in this, and there have sometimes been major changes in a team's fortunes post-Roubaix.

Winners:
2013 Rmeola
2014 Josedin
2015 Geraint Too Fast
2016 Vladimir
2017 Just Some Guy
2018 Madrazo
2019 Tobydawq
2020 Vladimir (led after the few races in the spring)/ Bminchow (after a redux in the autumn)
2021 Leadbelly
2022 Laarsland
2023 Evans is the Best
2024 Blues in the Bottle
2025 ????

There is a subsidiary competition, based on placings in each race, that I call the Green jersey.


Teams to me by PM before the Omloop starts (presumably mid-morning in Belgium on Saturday 1st March)
I believe that @Shakes may be putting up a selection tool, which should be very helpful, but I'd still prefer that teams come to me directly. I think Shakes also has plans for tracking the scores, which will probably be quicker than I can get results up, but I will do so, probably late in the evening of each race.

Good luck to all

Good stuff @Armchair Cyclist

Website is:
https://www.savius.at/CQGame/cqgame.php

Only works for people that have logged in (through Google so I don't need to mess with passwords):

You can also access it through 'My Profile' which appears when you are logged in. It has the correct CQ Points and tracks number of riders selected and doesn't allow exceeding point limit.

Currently it does not support saving and moving on with saved list later. Unfortunately don't have team to create that right now. When you create a new team it deletes your previous stored team for Spring Classics game.

/ List of races is not correct yet in game descriptoin but will match what is above. Website does not track just those races yet but I have two weeks to fix that :)

// Made me team quickly just now - so I will loose - so I can't be accused of benefitting from inside knowledge!

* Using the website allows Armchair Cyclist to just get a csv download for use in his excel.

weren't there plans to include le Samyn last year?
Feb 28 last year (day after the event, when some had bemoaned that their riders in Le Samyn hadn't scored in the game):
In the first couple of editions of the game I included some 1.1 races if they had a threshhold number of World Teams, but that participation was inconsistent, so I switched to a more objective 1.WT and 1.HS (now 1.Pro) a few years ago.

I'd be very happy if the UCI were to upgrade it so that it can be in: I have missed out on decent scoring myself some years, but I'd rather keep it objective, and I don't want to have to include another dozen or so events with all the 1.1s

Stuyven is a unique pick for me?!

Would really have liked to pick Cees Bol, who is supposedly doing all of Nokere, Denain, Bredene, De Panne and Scheldeprijs and therefore would have given me a great play for the green jersey, but I couldn't make that work when I was already taking Van Aert, Morgado and Teuns (who were certain picks for me). I had a long look at taking out Stuyven but wasn't happy with what it did to the rest of my team, so here we are.
 
Help... I thought I had a brilliant tactic, so that's all I based my pre-selection on.
Then I got sick, so didn't think about team-building for a bit...

And now it turns out that method doesn't work...

So, I ended up going for a return to the good old RNG.
AC claimed in the confirmation message that since I'm pretty close to budget, and don't have an obvious wacky theme, I might not be last.
However, I'm not so sure, considering that the rest of you appear to be playing using the theme of "Knowing what the *** you're doing."
 
Rider popularity:
130 riders selected, 129 of whom haven't retired.

The Collective Wisdom team is in bold:yes, there are 13 of them, so I will average out Withen and Turner (it would have been marginally overbudget with Turner,and the most underspent by a long way with Turner.

I don't think that's the case for my team. I've just picked some riders that I like, and some that I regret not picking for the other games.
 
Team popularity:

Madrazo usually does fairly well on predicting how the riders will do: he is rarely beaten on predicting who the rest of us will pick.
