The 2012 CQ Ranking Manager Game

[Ruby United]

WOE??? Kreuziguer 3RD!!! come on Romain, I was relying on you.

 

[TeoSheva]

"only" 180 points from Horner...

 

[Mellow Velo]

"only" 180 points from Horner...

280 (win and points jersey) from Nibali.
With Velits, Nibs's stage points and a clutch of other 5 pointers, not too bad.

 

[Eric8-A]

Same as with Paris-Nice, I'm not satisfied with my teams performance at Tirreno.

 

[Popchu]

Boeckmans into profit after todays race.

 

[shalgo]

Stupid crash--I wanted more points from Demare!

 

[CQmanager]

Chichichichi is now profitable ... congrats to him and also these 4 players who got him.

Jancouver (currently 12)
jraama (114)
Kevin Rudd's Hairdryer (119)
lancaster (52)

Expecting some shakeups after the Tirreno and Milan-San Reno update. Quite a few points for a grab.

Stupid crash--I wanted more points from Demare!

6 top riders netted me..........................5 points.

 

[just some guy]

been a while between positives

Boy got me a few today only 3 have him.

 

[Popchu]

Chainel could be the surprise of Saturday. I expect very much of him, after his performance last year. He proved today he's ready for MSR.

 

[Eric8-A]

I didn't think Chicchi was going to be this good. He, along with Kreder is on my list of riders I regret not picking.

 

[greenedge]

A pity that Demare crashed. That is another few points that would have benifeted me and my bad P-N/ ( T-A- only had Kreuziger ) performances that saw me move down 10 points.

Davis is becoming a lost hope for me ( i thought he would be riding M-SR ) and now he is not.

 

[will10]

Thinking about Davis, being further down the pecking order at Greenedge could be a blessing in disguise, CQ-wise. He could end up being shoe-horned into smaller races which he is more likely to win, as opposed to being the top sprinter on the team as he has been in past years. I'm still optimistic he will at least double his score - as long as he gets racing soon!

 

[Eric8-A]

Davis will probably just break even, or get to the 200 point mark.

 

[greenedge]

Yeah true. Hopefully that could happen. The problem is they also have Howard for that role.

I have 8 riders for M-SR. I don't know if Costa can win ( he could place in the top 20 though ) and Ciolek/ Velits will work for Boonen so that leaves me 5.
I then have Boonen who i think in a sprint even with Cav could podium.
Breschel and Renshaw will want to ride well and either of them could get in the top 5 in differing circumstances though.
I then have Pozzato who this year might be able to wheelsuck to the finish line.

I also have Haussler who along with Boonen gives me a real chance of scoring points/ hopefully winning.

[just some guy]

60 points from today

hopefully tomorrow I get a few doubt it though

 

[taiwan]

Boivin strikes again

Blythe nearing profit too.

 

[Jancouver]

Chicchi is a gift that keeps on giving .... Happy to have him and I hope he will continue his winning streak. Perhaps those smaller races are better for him and he will keep on grinding those points for me and 3 others

Edit: Since I'm at the bragging mode, I should add that Jonathan Cantwell won two stages in Taiwan and is now profitable pick too.

 

[will10]

Cantwell, Boivin and Boy Van Poppel are all looking like great cheap picks, nice work by the handful that have them.

San Remo could be a big points day for a lot of teams so I'm reserving judgement until Sunday

 

[greenedge]

Yeah i am really happy with Cantwell. Next year i shall focus on the Asian races as well because the Tour of Taiwan gives out 110 CQ GC points for 1st. I wish i had Chicchi

I also had Inglinsky in my M-SR team ( hopefully he can do well ) so that brings my total up to 9.
