The 2012 CQ Ranking Manager Game

No Laurel for you, then.

BADUM-TSHH

I forgot, I also have Gavazzi who scored some points at Laigueglia.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

at least i got moser, velits and slagter also.

 

[The Hitch]

Good to see trentin didnt throw away those 10 points, though lord did he try.

Jens Voigt
David de la Fuente

 

[AussieGoddess]

I have Velits, Nibles, Ciolek and Porte ... so hopefully done ok this week

Picked up some good points from the Oman overall: Velits, Jeannesson, Slagter, and Navardaukas all in the top ten

 

[HelgeBlendet]

Porte, Velits and El Fares = good day for me

 

[The Hitch]

My hapyness at Porte winning has been quickly dampened by mosers win. WTF I stuck as many Italian 20 year olds into my team as I could fit and its a different one that comes up with the goods.

 

[hrotha]

Velits, Slagter, Porte, Van den Broeck, Talansky, Coppel.

 

[skidmark]

I had about a good a week as I could expect in February, winning Oman (Velits), Laigueglia (Moser) and Algarve (Porte), with a 5th, 7th and 8th in the latter race from Costa, Van Garderen and Talansky. Looks like a few folks had a good week too, though, so we'll see what that means for the standings.

 

[roundabout]

8th, 12th and 15th in Algarve.

4th, 5th and 7th in Haut-Var.

Velits doesn't count as everybody has him.

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

I have given up all hope for this game.

Better luck next year

 

[Mellow Velo]

A lot of folks have had a very good weekend.
Frankly, I've lost count, but somewhere in the 6-700 points range......
.....I think.

 

[skidmark]

Velits doesn't count as everybody has him.

Well, you're still getting a leg up on about 40 teams that don't. It's kind of like the cliche about non-decisive mountain stages: having him doesn't win you the game, but not having him could lose you the game.

40? I thought it was quite a bit less than that.

 

[El Pistolero]

How many people have JTL? They'll score big. What's Endura's racing schedule like if anybody knows?

Haha, I knew I forgot to suggest a certain Italian to you. Oh well, at least you earned some points with Trentin, or didn't you take him as well?

 

[Havetts]

Surely 0.. lol

 

[Popchu]

The Cobra has Tiernan-Lock. Nice job!

And i'm one of the guys who doesn't have Velits. I will surely lose some positions in the ranking after this week, despite of having Porte, Vandenbroeck and Ciolek.

 

[The Hitch]

I considered Moser but he didnt have any pro results just u23 ones and a lot of the guys I was considering beat him in the u23 races - Cattaneo, Battaglin. Winner Ancona, Fabio Aru, Salvatore Puccio

Its difficult to guess how u23 riders will do on transition, and I ddnt even put those guys in my final team other than Enrico

 

[skidmark]

JTL was a unique pick by the Cobra, so he's cleaning up on that front.

As far as Velits, yes he's the 2nd most popular pick, but even though 93 teams have him, there are 130 teams in the competition, so 37 do not.

I would certainly prefer to be in the Cobra's position, celebrating a unique pick, but I'll be stoked for Velits' win nonetheless.

edit: didn't notice the post that had already pointed out who had picked JTL, oops.

 

[Eric8-A]

Watch JTL be a popular pick amongst everybody's teams next year.

I had some good guys on the races that finished this week but didn't score as much as I wanted to.

 

[greenedge]

You can still move up ( with Porte ). Besides you only have 4 ( i was under the impression you would have had heaps )

 

[greenedge]

The way he is going he might be too expensive. Also the change in approach ( WT team might take a while for him to adjust to )

 

[Sylvester]

I should have kept Slagter in my team. I dropped him for the much more expensive Baugnies, who has been invisible so far.

Also seriously considered Nibali and as he seems to TT and climb well this year, he'll surely make a profit. The same goes for Navardauskas, who might surprise many.

I didn't consider Moreno Moser, Porte or Tiernan-Locke, so not having them on my team hurts a lot less.
