The 2012 CQ Ranking Manager Game

[greenedge]

Kashechkin, Porte, Velits and Kern all lose time today- no top 20 for them.

Also Eric: do you mean Turkey or Austria?

 

[gustienordic]

Taarmae better do well. He was looking soo good at the beginning of the season. And then had two very large set backs :/

Man, don't I feel dumb. I do mean Austria

 

[CQmanager]

FIY ... there will be no official website update for two weeks (today and next Monday) as I'm on vacation and dont have access to my servers. Perhaps Hugo can do his excel sheet update?

That being said, the game is being partially updated on daily bases since I'm doing daily updates for the TDF game so the TDF points are already included.

If there was a 'like' button on this forum, I'd hit it...

 

[greenedge]

How come this thread is dead?

Brajkovic now has no chance of making the top 5 for me.

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

I knew Froome would come good...

 

[jsem94]

Well, this year is continuing to suck for me. I'm going to be MUCH better prepared for next year.

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

373 points this week, thanks mainly to Froome, Kump & Di Luca.

[skidmark]

Hmm, no update this week as CQmanager noted, but with Di Luca and Modolo having a bit of success in Austria, I wonder if I could have covered that 8 points that I need...

At any rate, poland is looking good:

Moser
Boonen
Kreuziger
Majka
Breschel
Kelderman
Howard
Haussler
Talansky
Henao
Demare
Sicard
Modolo

That could actually be quite good indeed...

 

[the asian]

Poland
Moser
Stybar
Slagter
Breschel
Kelderman
Van Der Sande
Haussler
Talansky
Anton
Sicard

Hopefully I can get some decent points and make a move.

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Poland:
Zdenek Stybar
Matteo Trentin
Rafael Majka
Tom-Jelte Slagter
Matti Breschel
Sergio Henao

Well, with hilly climbs and no TT Slagter and Henao should easily top 10 the GC, because I don't think the level of climbing will be too high. It remains to be seen what Majka is capable of after being out for so long, probably not much.

 

[HelgeBlendet]

Poland
Selig
Smukulis
Breschel
Martens
Vaitkus
Henao
Vaikkanen
Anton
El Fares

Not sure what to think... Hoping El Fares shows something.

 

[TeoSheva]

I don't know why, but I'm proud to be again at the first position

EDIT: anyway just for few hours, because after the update of this week I'm back in 3rd!

 

[TeoSheva]

Since seems that nobody is going to do an update, I will try to do it...

Update 27:Strassenrennen dominates the week and skidmark stay on the top!

The first week of the tour is gone and the tour of Austria as well: Greipel (with 2 stages and one 2nd place in France) and Fuglsang (with the overall in Austria and one stage) made Strassenrennen happy with all their points! Over 400 points also Eric8-A, Luke Schmid and element. 4 of the 5 high scorers are also in the top of the week high jumpers, with again Strassenrennen leading with +12 positions!


This week high scorers
1.Strassenrennen - 537
2.Eric8-A - 409
3.Luke Schmid - 407
4.element - 402
5.Ferminal - 386

This week high jumpers
1.Strassenrennen +12
2.Eric8-A +8
3.cineteq +7
4.Luke Schmid +6
4.element +6
4.Geraint Too Fast +6
4.DJ Sprtsch +6
4.Netserk +6
4.AussieGoddess +6


In the top 10 there are two new entries, Luke Schmid and shalgo, that are replacing theyoungest and ansimi. The top 6 is the same of the past week, but maybe this is the first time that is reported skidmark as the leader! Congratulation to him! The leader plus Nyssinator and TeoSheva are over 11.000 points and are separated by less than 70 points.


Top 10
1.(1) skidmark - 11115
2.(2) Nyssinator - 11085
3.(3) TeoSheva - 11047
4.(4) EvansIsTheBest - 10905
5.(5) Armchair cyclist - 10843
6.(6) Kvinto - 10545
7.(13) Luke Schmid - 10143
8.(12) shalgo - 10100
9.(7) Mellow Velo - 10070
10.(9) AntonioRossi - 10033

 

[shalgo]

Nice to be back in the top ten, especially on the strength of points from three picks who until now have been among my most disappointing: Fuglsang, Pinot, and Arroyo.

The top six teams are still far away, however--they have really opened up a gap on everyone else.

Wow, yeah, that is news to me. Thanks for the update, Teo! At least I have a brief moment of glory, if nothing else. I'm just catching up on everything now that my time out in the woods is done, so this is great news. I'm glad it's so competitive at the top...

Nice 1-2 there, TS.

 

[TeoSheva]

Nice 1-2 there, TS.

the same for me

 

[al_pacino]

This seems like the appropriate place to say how much Moreno Moser is ****ing me off. He was such a late choice to leave out that every time I see him get a result it makes it even worse.

Saying that well done to him and all those that selected him.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

I'm sorry that I've been really bad at updating lately. I've had a lot of things to do and admitedly I've had a period with a loss of interest in the game. Therefore, I'm glad that TeoSheva has done the latest update and I hope that he or someone else is willing to help out a bit for a few more weeks as I'm going on a vacation soon and won't be back untill two weeks after the Tour has finished.

I hope that after that I'll be back with new energy and motivation

For now, I hope that it's understandable that one might lose motivation for a bit after doing weekly updates for one and a half year

It's understandable I will try to do the updates when I can, but I need a substitute for August since I will be in vacation too
