The 2012 CQ Ranking Manager Game

[Tuarts]

SANCHEZ GIL Luis Leon
RENSHAW Mark
LLOYD Matthew
SICARD Romain
CANTWELL Jonathan

5 man team.
2 sprinters, 1 for overall, 1 Aussie darkhorse and 1 apparently the leader of his team.

 

[greenedge]

I have 35. I have to add others like Betancur and Hepburn as well.

Because Sicard deserves to be leader of course.

my first 2013 prospect is in the books. This years team isn't going to do well, but next year i plan to be competitive in the mid to bottom range.

How do you know, at this point, your team isn't going to do well? You never know what will happen.

I don't know per se. It just seems unlikely if i look at the competition. plus my team consists of basically picked at random dutch guys and a few others.

Yup, it's gonna be great! :

On a totally different note, I really regret not picking Slagter. I don't know why I didn't really. He'll have a great season I think.

 

[just some guy]

1st day of racing and I think my team took a massive hit, get back for spring boys.

 

[auscyclefan94]

If you are reffering to Haussler then it might not be as bad as 1st thought.

 

[Straßenrennen]

Griepel a legend in his own lifetime. I feel a good 2000 pointer season for him coming up. Confidence is everything.

That's why I chose him

 

[Straßenrennen]

We are the only 2 that have him Eric, the future looks bright!

 

[roundabout]

So I pick Roelandts and he breaks his neck on the first day of racing.

If it is stable - be on the trainer next week and should be ok for Spring.

was one of my big hopes for the season

 

[Kvinto]

Yep, unfortunate for a guy that targets spring classics , i wanted to pick him too, but he seemed too expensive. Of course it does not ruin his spring at all, but it affects

 

[roundabout]

Apparently Landa broke his collarbone in training. But that was in December. I wonder if there's a correlation between a rider getting injured and being picked by me for the CQ game...

 

[Sylvester]

Landa will break his collarbone another three times this season, but that won't prevent him from scoring 200+ points.

 

[Ruby United]

I'm the only person who picked Sabatani. So far he's gotten off to a very satisfying start to the season.

I'm the only person who picked Sabatani. So far he's gotten off to a very satisfying start to the season.

I had decided I was taking either Sabatini or Guarnieri, plumped for Guarnieri and who gets off to the flying start Surprised me only one person has him - I thought he had good potential to breakthrough and score 400+

 

[Kvinto]

In Liquigas Sabatini is used as a GT 'plain' domestique but i suspect he can be useful in spring races, or the likes of Volta Catalunya where he may shine among tremendous sprinting field...

Any chance on another early-season weekly update, Hugo? The download for the 15th is out... obviously it's pretty insignificant, but I have 4 riders in the top 15 and that's probably the only time that'll ever happen, so I must be doing okay...

What a roller-coaster huh?

One day you have one of your expensive picks to break his neck and next day one of your budget unique picks wins a WT stage

Congrats!

Oops, sorry! I must be getting lazy. I was sure they wouldn't put up another upload this week. I will upload it later today.

Spider deserves his week in the lead

Is weeks in lead/top10 something you're keeping track of?
