The 2012 CQ Ranking Manager Game

Casper's old. And I forgot about Huta.

Err, isn't Huta with FDJ?

 

[Eric8-A]

Err, isn't Huta with FDJ?

That's true

In that case, I think Belletti's going to be their main sprinter. Mandory like Ferminal said really ain't mich of a sprinter. I believe he was in a break during Beijing, and you don't see many sprinters do that.

 

[Jancouver]

Err, isn't Huta with FDJ?

Whooooops, what was I thinking ... sorry about the confusion

 

[The Hitch]

Think he took the throne after RVV because he had Nuyens and scored a superhuman one-day total.

Dont think so. This was the table after PR.


AAC1983 7495 4811
ingsve 7476 4518
Pcutter 7495 4410
Handbrake 7496 4337
theyoungest 7498 4304
The Hitch 7459 4283
Gotland 7494 4172
microdose 7499 4117
LukeSchmid 7488 4097

It was the last update I had but ingsve was not ahead on any of the previous ones.

 

[The Hitch]

Casper
Shpilevsky
Hinault
Mondory

The latter two are hardly bunch sprint winners though, Shpilevsky is largely unproven at this level, and Casper is getting on a bit isn't he.

Dont forget Gadret. Got a 4th place in a Pais Vasco sprint

 

[greenedge]

Seems vanendert will be doing the tour in support of van den broeck yet will also have a bit of a free reign. its a shame as i feel he could definitely start making impacts gc wise in 3 week races.
Yet watch out for him in the classics; he got top 20 in all ardennes in support of gilbert and was imo one of the strongest at amstel gold. At least on my team he was one of the first.

And in San Sebastien.

 

[greenedge]

EDIT 2: At least Contador's my unique pick, he'd better win a Tour-Vuelta double

CAS stands in his way. A risky pick. He might not even win both.

 

[Eric8-A]

I'm shocked someone even picked Contador.

Expect him to score his first big points at San Luis when he wins the overall.

 

[Ferminal]

Durbridge winning the ITT = NOT GOOD, needed Rogers and Porte to act as a buffer

 

[Spider1964]

Durbridge winning the ITT = NOT GOOD, needed Rogers and Porte to act as a buffer

Good for me though 1st 3rd 4th & 5th... Had Meyer and Wurf in last years team.. doh!

High five, me too (except for having those other guys last year). Anyone else got all those guys? Certainly not the wealth of points from the RR, but that's about as good as I could've hoped for.

edit: like the nerd I am, I checked and no one else has all 4 of those guys. Mini celebration.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Sorry, didn't realize there was already an update out. The first update will be up here later today!

 

[just some guy]

What happened to Porte?

Hype caught up with him ?

 

[CasperVg]

Hype caught up with him ?

Not sure about Porte, but Rogers noted there was lots of wind and he was held up by traffic (roads weren't closed) on the Sky website

 

[Tuarts]

Dont forget Gadret. Got a 4th place in a Pais Vasco sprint

That's like calling 3/4 of the Cofidis team sprinters because they all take turns in "fighting" for the bunch sprint win.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Update 1: just some guy takes the first trick!

A few points have already been handed out and just some guy - with Gerrans, Cooke, Rogers, William Clarke and Lloyd - is our first leader, 32 points ahead of Spider1964 in second place and 69 points ahead of the asian who rounds off the top 3.

On a darker note, quite a few teams probably feel that they actually start the season with 295 minus points as Yoann Offredo has missed three tests and therefore risk suspension. This would, for instance, affect last years 8th place finisher, Luke Schmid.

Leader board

Position. Team name - Points

1. just some guy - 219
2. Spider1964 - 188
3. the asian - 150
4. trotters aotearoa - 126

Please note that a few teams have changed since the first reveal but that is because of changes I hadn't registered, mistakes in teams etc. Everything should be fine now.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Thanks Hugo. I see we thought along the same line a lot of the way!

Yeah we actually have a few riders in common. I hope they'll do well. I especially think that Colbrelli will score quite a lot of points while Elissonde, Bardet and Moser won't score as much but will show their talent.

 

[Ferminal]

How many are tied on 115? I'm not complaining that I get named in the top10 though, first and last time

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Only those 8 mentioned

 

[sublimit]

I hope thats not Durbridges first and last ITT of the year - With the track focus and all.

Still, it figures Greenedge will want to showcase him in the Aussie champs jersey in a few races on the road. Hopefully.

 

[Tuarts]

We're on negative points? Shouldn't that just be 0?
