[Froome19]

Of course: I was confusing the GT games with the year-long version, my mistake. However, I wonder if anyone has a note of what points he had in August 2011: could this be another case like Costa whereby the price is discounted because of a ban?

Wont he cost his 2009 score?

 

[shalgo]

Wont he cost his 2009 score?

Yes, but I think the question was whether this score was lower than his 2011 score had been, pre-doping ban.

As it happens, his year ranking score in the December 31, 2011 update was 2373. So he is a bargain at 2272!

[Geraint Too Fast]

Pretty good day - over 800 GC points from the Vuelta and Luke Rowe off to a good start in ToB. The second half of this year has been much better than the first for me.

 

[Kvinto]

This is a glorious day in history of this game, for all of us who believe in magical power of marginal gains. I've been waiting for this moment since the Australian Nationals RR and feel honoured to be the first to announce:

Ladies and gentlemen, Roman Sicard is now officially 2 CQ points ahead of Matthew Lloyd. Hooray!!!

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Looking forward to the update, which hopefully will be up tomorrow!

 

[taiwan]

I think I'm due about 600points from the Vuelta altogether - mostly Degenkolb's stage wins, my GC sucked.

 

[gustienordic]

Pleasantly surprised with the points I racked up in the last two days:

Moser, Talansky, Henao, Intxausti

YES!!!
10 char

 

[ansimi]

I didn't get many points out of the Vuelta but my other riders did quite well during the same time. Hopefully it's enough that I don't drop much. I think I have quite a few guys still motivated for Worlds and beyond.

 

[the asian]

Talansky, Anton, Roche, Gerrans, Moser, Henao, Quintana, Sicard & Davis all should get me some points at this update.

 

[18-Valve. (pithy)]

Moser is turning out to be a risky gamble for next year's game at 1000 points already. At this rate he'll score 1500+.

I knew he'd do very well, but man.... this is just ridiculous.

I knew he'd do very well, but man.... this is just ridiculous.

IMO he's priced himself out of next years game.

 

[18-Valve. (pithy)]

IMO he's priced himself out of next years game.

Yeah, pretty much. Too bad, really, seeing as the guy oozes talent and is well on his way to make a mockery out of Sagan's first pro season.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Yeah, pretty much. Too bad, really, seeing as the guy oozes talent and is well on his way to make a mockery out of Sagan's first pro season.

I wouldn't exactly say so, but let's just say that both's first seasons were (are) pretty damn good

Besides, Moser is a whole year older than Sagan was in his first season as a neo-pro.

[Panda Claws]

Damned a few months ago I was 11th now I am in 41th place

 

[will10]

IIRC Kvinto's team had the most "most picked" riders. So collectively we're not too bad at picking the 'must-haves'

 

[the asian]

13 places up to 68th. Hope Gerrans, Phinney can deliver at the Worlds'.

 

[Nyssinator]

Damned Moser

 

[mc_mountain]

Great to have an update from you again Hugo (kudos to CQM et al for keeping things going too). Just to point out the Armchair Cyclist is also a repeat top 10. In fact it is incredibly close on the aggregate score from both editions between myself, Armchair and Waterloo Sunrise (2nd last year).
Waterloo Sunrise - 26177
mc_mountain - 26152
Armchair Cyclist - 26136

Armchair Cyclist 27390
Waterloo Sunrise 27351
mc_mountain 27281

 

[Kvinto]

Damned Moser

Yeah, the guy is shamelessly ruining the awesomeness of my team

IIRC Kvinto's team had the most "most picked" riders. So collectively we're not too bad at picking the 'must-haves'

Guess who was second in that list?

[lancaster]

the average of the picks is usually a good selection, regardless of what you're estimating.

it's no surprise that the top two teams are the closest to the average selection.

just gutted i didn't get closer to it myself!
