2025 Women's CQ Manager game

[slow_climber]

Thoroughly enjoying this year to date. I'd be happy with daily updates at the moment, if that can be arranged.

You'd have to persuade @Shakes and his web skills for that: I'm limited to self-taught Excel.

Don't worry, just want daily reminders of my elevated position. I actually like the 2 weekly update as it is more exciting and dramatic than more regular updates.

Samu Cuenca doubling up on leadership: top in the Spring Classics as well as here. Slow Climber has risen from 11th to 2nd having been top of successive updates: make up your own comments on the irony of that.

Ruvu may have lost a place, but earns the plaudits for being the first to have all his riders break their duck.

I see that CQ is being fairly consistent about making fortnightly updates on the downloads: I'll try to follow the same pattern.

Thanks for the updates!

Next update will probably feature Paris-Roubaix and Amstel, but which riders?

 

[Dk one]

Yeesss, Susanne Andersen - that is why I put her on my team twice

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Not a great day for my team with both Cavalli and Realini DNFing and Van der Breggen not starting.
Meanwhile over in Uruguay, Lilibeth Chacón scored her first points of the season.

11th Vuelta España Femenina by Carefour.es

Julia Borgström
Amalie Dideriksen
Ingvild Gåskjenn
Solbjørk Minke Anderson
Emma Cecilie Norsgaard Bjerg
Katrine Aalerud

Will Norsgaard be able to get a stage win, and join the "Skibby Club"?
Though, I guess it could be argued that the Women's Vuelta does really count as a "Women's GT", what with it only being 7 stages.

Spanish theme to continue with (rather short) Tours of Basque Country and Burgos in the next couple of weeks as the likely main points for the next update.

 

[RedheadDane]

I have a few riders in Spain (seems like there's pretty much a 1-to-1 overlap between the startlists of Navarra and Itzulia.)

Aintila
Andersson
Holmgrens
Uttrup

So, a Finn, a Swede, two Canadians (half-Danish), and a Dane.
Now would be a good time for Uttrup to show that she has fully recovered from the injury-troubled season last year.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Realini has finally scored her first points. The comeback is on!

 

[RedheadDane]

Andersson into profit! Whop-Whooo!

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Just before I sort out the update, I should have congratulated Slow Climber, Los Brolin and Manafana in the last update for having reached the landmark of half the team in profit at the time of the last update. But I have no idea what order their riders achieved that in, so I can't say who was first.

But all three did it before Redhead Dane had any reach profit.

[RedheadDane]

Uttrup gets 60 points for 6th on GC in Britain + 2 points for 7th on a stage.
Dideriksen gets 30 points for finishing 3rd in Westhoek + 2 points for finishing in the top-50 in Antwerp.
Norsgaard, Borgström, Minke, and Aintila gets 4 points each for finishing Britain.
Koerner and Greve gets 2 points each for finishing in the top-50 in Antwerp.

Unfortunately... that's not enough to catch Nevs.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

A good day/weekend for me with Chabbey and Wollaston. Wiebes getting way fewer points than expected in Britain and Vollering being relegated for celebrating Adegeest were not bad either.
