Emerging Riders CQ Game

[Armchair Cyclist]

Damn you Sondre Holst Enger for scoring 6 points too much

There has to be a point at which a rider is no longer emerging, but has emerged.

Still plenty of time to select a team though: good luck with it.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

23 teams so far, with 100 riders between them, including 44 unique picks, and one universal pick. 20 teams have at least one unique pick.

Still 19 days 3 1/2 hours to go...

 

[ray200]

I guess it is not allowed to choose a racer who has exactly 200 cumulated CQ pts ??

I guess it is not allowed to choose a racer who has exactly 200 cumulated CQ pts ??

I'm afraid I probably have to stick by the letter of the opening post on this one, and say no to that one. There has to be a cutoff somewhere...

 

[ItalianGigolo]

I really like the ideea of this game... It will be very intersting to follow some cyclists over 3 year. Some picks could seem poor in the first year and then explode in the 3rd one. There are so many posibilities...

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

30 teams in so far (see OP)

I will be at a family gathering next weekend, so no team analysis until the Monday evening, but I can tell you already that there are a few very popular riders, none of which are universal picks, but two are pretty close to it.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Just over 24 hours to go: 34 teams submitted so far. Please check the OP that I have received your squad.

Good luck to all, especially those quickly cobbling a team together at the 11th hour.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Team sent in! I'm on of those 11th hour guys. I'm very much looking forward to seing everyone's teams as I have a feeling I'm missing out on some "big" names.

 

[skidmark]

I'm excited to see the teams for this, Armchair! I found most were 'easy' picks - I just kinda scrolled through riders from 200 points last year downwards to about 20 points, checking cumulative totals as I went, and had 34 riders or so, and picking 15-16 was easy with the last few being tough. But I'm interested to see if some pretty much zero-point hidden gems will end up being good in a couple of years or what... my strategy was to pick obvious, comet-across-the-sky talents that aren't yet pros and promising guys who were already getting some experience at pro level (mostly neos, but I did find a few who were pro-conti last year and even one who had been PT for a couple of years but focused on track).

Will be great to see this develop.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Yeah I'm looking forward to it as well. I didn't want to publish my team because I wanted to let Armchair present the data.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Sorry for the delay: I was away for a few days, then a chaotic start to the week.

Miscalculated Howson's score when assembling my extremely hastily assembled team.
La Florecita seems to have two of Edmondon

My bad for not spotting that.
Florecita, like Oliveira and Mutschi (both due to unreplaced over budget riders) in having a 17 man squad.

 

[Afrank]

Cool, 2 unique picks! I kept meaning to go back to my list and look for some other riders that would have a good chance of being unique but never had time to get around to it. So I actually wasn't expecting any unique picks. A nice surprise there.

Looks like I'll be cheering for Mannion, Rathe, Jim, Wackermann, Dillier, Fernandez, and Svendsen the most.

3 teams with Gaimon I notice as well. They should be feeling pretty happy already. A good pick IMO.

 

[Ruudz0r]

Geraint To Fast robs me of 2 unique picks with Haig and Zurlo ! Good think I like Geraint Thomas!

Gee, what a surprise. Just call me mr. popular.

I was glad to see that Yves Lampaert and Sepulveda were my most unique picks, as (not coincidentally) they were my last 2 additions to the team. Also not surprised that of the 2 other people who picked Lampaert, one is my CQ collaborator/nemesis mc_mountain, ha.

edit: actually, I see that those two, along with Olivier, are my only riders not in the top 18 'collective wisdom' team. Wow!

I'm pretty okay with that; having a popular team is usually a good thing in CQ games, and I would imagine that a 3-year game only reinforces this principle, as less is left to chance than someone having an off year or something. Then again, not all hot prospects work out, so it works differently than, say, picking Boonen for one year at 139 points, because you know he's going to have a much better year than that since he's Tom freakin' Boonen. I have to admit the jury is out for me as to what is the best strategy for this game, so I'm eager to keep track.

It will be the classification of popularity as a reflection of the general classification remain

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

So I'm the only person who picked the next Jose Rujano and the next Lance Armstrong. You guys are in trouble.

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Geraint To Fast robs me of 2 unique picks with Haig and Zurlo ! Good think I like Geraint Thomas!

The only reason I know Zurlo is because of your posts on this forum, so if he does well you get all the credit. And if he's a flop, it's also your fault.

Pretty sure every team I've picked on here has been in the top 10 most popular/least original.
