Samu's 2024 Emerging Female Riders CQ Game

[Samu Cuenca]

With the conclusion of the Indian NC last week, I don't think there are any WE races left this year, so I can't really justify prolonging the suspense any longer. I don't think anyone has actually scored points since October anyway.

Zoe Bäckstedt's return to form helped @MADRAZO to a tally of 2481 points, but even if she hadn't done any races during the last months of the season, my team would still have lost by 7 points. Congratulations and chapeau to our deserved inaugural champion who almost led the game from start to finish.

The best possible team would have been this one, which could have scored you an easy win with a total of 4591 points. Cutting Vanpachtenbeke as one of the last edits of my team was a huge mistake.

Lastly, I'd like to say a huge thank you to all that took part!

It's my plan to host the game again for 2025. In case you have any relevant feedback or possible ideas to tweak the game, please let me know. Right now, I'm considering increasing the number of allowed picks.
