The 2012 CQ Ranking Manager Game

[Eric8-A]

Volta ao Algarve
Thomas Lofkvist
Matti Breschel
Luis Leon Sanchez
Martijn Maaskant
Karsten Kroon
Gustav Larsson
Richie Porte

I'm pretty pleased with my roster for this race.

Forgot to put in Richie Porte. I must have missed his name.

 

[greenedge]

I had a straight pick between Farrar and griepel and decided to go for the safe pick with "farrar". I'm already regretting it altough I'm still hoping him feasting on 2nd and 3rd places will pay off in the long run. Continuing my slow path to complete domination. Up to 109th now got a feeling I may make a big splash this week and break the top 105.

I thought with Krder/ Oss you would have been higher. Have faith in Farrar ( him and Goss have a better chance at the Olympics if the race breaks up ).

I am hoping Breschel can feature at Algarve.

 

[greenedge]

Lost a place but still on the podium so not a bad week all in all. Hopefully I still have a shot at taking the lead for 2 minutes of glory at some point, especially as I have good squads for this week :


Haut Var
ROLLAND Pierre
BARDET Romain
VAUGRENARD Benoît
PINOT Thibault
LE BON Johan

Algarve
SANCHEZ GIL Luis Leon
BRESCHEL Matti
MAASKANT Martyn
LARSSON Gustav Erik

Oman
APPOLLONIO Davide
NIBALI Vincenzo
VELITS Peter
BOONEN Tom
BOUHANNI Nacer

Pinot/ Rolland could win overall at Haut Var ( Rolland did well at Etoile ) and Pinot should be getting better. Breschel and Larsson should likely get a stage each and Nibali is favourite at Oman. Boonen could get a stage somewhere there as well.

You should take the lead.

lol. rolland very rarely does anything, performing good at last tour suggests he can peak well. What makes you think he should all of a sudden win a race?
Also Pinot's form wasn't great in the last race, debatable that he will win also.

Breschel and Larsson should get a stage is another very debatable statement. Should suggests it is likely to happen, imo not the case.

I know those 2 were some of the 1st guys i selected unfortunately I've not had many riders contribute yet which will hopefully mean they will hit form later in.the season as opposed to them just being crap picks.

 

[Mellow Velo]

I hope this doesn't come out the wrong way, but if people start posting screenshots of the latest update, I don't think I want to spend so much time posting updates.

It's not that I want the credit or anything like that, it's just that I think the purpose of me posting updates with a small describtion gets a bit undermined if most have already seen the latest rankings, and if that's the case I don't really want to spend a lot of time writing, posting updates and updating the cqmanager.net website.

I hope that's understandable.

So for this time, since the standings have already been posted, I'm not gonna write a whole lot, but the download is available at the website now.

Have to agree with you Hugo, especially as I reckon my score is wrong!
Pretty sure I had more points than that, last week.
Let's stick to the cqmanager updates, as all the effort going in there, is fantastic.

Yeah man, Het Volk hasn't even happened yet... I wouldn't be too worried if I were you.

No points for 3rd and 7th? Or just not for 7th?

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Things starting to move in the right direction. 1st and 3rd in Oman and 3rd in Algarve. Of course, almost all have Breschel on their team, but nevertheless

 

[taiwan]

Breschel deniers start weeping now. I want extra credit though if can win without him.

...as if that's likely to happen.

How much was Slagter, by the way?

 

[skidmark]

How much was Slagter, by the way?

41 points. I'm starting to regret dropping him, he was the last rider I dropped when I shuffled 3 riders around in the last hours before submitting, I ended up with 39 points left and something had to give. This might turn ugly...

 

[greenedge]

I was surprised by that performance but what does he usually do ( sprinting/ Puncheur, Climber )???

 

[the asian]

I am unable to download update 6. It always gets interrupted midway
Can anybody inform my position.

Wrong time for Baden to be hitting for form looks like he's going to DNF Paris-Roubaix if u ask me.

You are occupying the 91st spot with 582 points.

Wow! I must be the guy with the biggest fall in rankings

 

[Kazistuta]

Am I being utterly stupid? I can't see any update from this week?

Climber AFAIK.

You have to look in the downloads section

No one is asking you though

ps did you get my pm ?

Ha ha. Just noticied Ive got one will give it a read.

 

[skidmark]

Yeah, Hugo didn't write a summary this week (as some of the info was already posted here before he put the download on the site), so he just updated the downloads section without an 'update' summary on the first page.

 

[skidmark]

Oh yeah, Porte 1st, Costa 3rd, Talansky 7th (at least Porte and Talansky should be able to hold/gain in the TT for the overall). Makes up for the fail of my Oman team (Boonen, Phinney, Davis). Too bad about TJVG though, hope this doesn't count him out of Paris-Nice...
