2026 Spring Classics CQ Game

[RedheadDane]

Those who take the game seriously will spend the intervening time scowling at any of their riders that are in Paris-Nice or Tirreno-Adriatico for daring to use up their energy in events that don't get them any points.

Exactly! Like... Jasper, WTH are you doing? You left Trek so you could ride your own chance in the classics.

Also, I only just noticed @EvansIsTheBest's team... and people say I pick weird teams. At least my riders are all alive!

A fairly serious blow to 8 of us (including me)

That’s my two most expensive riders both finishing the game at 0 points courtesy of injury. Don’t think I’ve ever been this unlucky in one of these games.

Me too, my two most expensive picks - Matthews and Nys - will bring 0 points,

At least my team isn't getting beat by a bunch of dead Italians

At least my team isn't getting beat by a bunch of dead Italians

Is it the dead Italians who are beating my team, or is it the living Dutchman?

I deliberately chose to not have too much variation in price between my riders since my theme is one for each month of the year, and "was born in a month" doesn't exactly narrow it down.

Race 7 of 24: Milano-Turino

I think we should probably just concede that MTF type races were not what most of us were thinking of in our selections

Race Pos'n		Pts	Teams
18​	CEPEDA HERNANDEZ Jefferson Alveiro	8​	Redhead Dane (80 green points)​
22​	GUALDI Simone	5​	Onizuka (36.67 )​
27​	PESCADOR CASTRO Diego	5​	18Valve and DJW (36.67 each)​

Those points are not enough to change anyone's position, but the green point table sees some movement:

1​	18Valve	296.67​	(-)
2​	SamuCuenca	235​	(-)
3​	RedheadDane	140​	(+5)
4​	DJW	137.67​	(-)
5​	Ingsve	116.67​	(-2)

8​	Josedin	70​	(-2)
9​	AmisVelo	50​	(-)
9​	DJSprtsch	50​	(-)

Let's hope that Nokere had a bit more to report...

At least my guys for this game - well, one of my guys - scored some points, since my guys in the main game were absolutely useless.
