The 2012 CQ Ranking Manager Game

[Hugo Koblet]

mellow velo has scored with his 3 most expensive riders. Just not this week.

Ouch, that's true. He's even scored a lot actually. I don't know how I could miss that.

 

[Froome19]

Taking a look at this weeks highest scorers, it's clear that a lot of points were handed out this week:

1. Mellow Velo - 554
2. Von Mises - 530
3. jencredible - 483
4. Reuell - 462
5. Froome19 - 441

And last let's have a look at this weeks high jumpers in which a very prominent name occours:

1. Froome19 +40
2. Reuell +38
3. Von Mises +29
3. jencredible +29
5. Hugo Koblet +27

That's right: I finally got a reason to mention my own team which is now sitting nicely in 43rd place!

Finnally I scored some points!
If i want to have any chance of doing well i need to be in the top 10 after the cobbles as I can see my biggest profits coming from the spring classics.

 

[Havetts]

Still 75th, hurts to not have Vanmarcke as one of the few. But my time will come with stage races & the hilly classics !

 

[Mellow Velo]

Ouch, that's true. He's even scored a lot actually. I don't know how I could miss that.

I only have 5 riders who are yet to score and none of them were big spends.
I'm fairly confident that my big spends will generate points for much of the season, but they are always a concern.

Anyhow, I can bask in my glory, hopefully until the WT stage race points get dished out in a couple of weeks.
After that, there is only one direction I can head in........

 

[TeoSheva]

good jump until the 4th place for me! For the moment Matthews has been a good choice.

 

[skidmark]

Update 8: Mellow Velo dominates

As the season has finally really kicked in, so has the era of Mellow Velo. Not only is he this weeks highest scorer, he's now also on the top of the leaderboard with a 245 points lead to Michele. I guess having the winner on this weeks two 1.HC races on your team helps a lot...

Only one new team sneak its way into the top 10 this week: skidmark's. With points from Boonen, Haussler, Battaglin, Demare and, most importantly, Vanmarcke did he have a very good week and can now celebrate at least one week in the prestigious company in the top 10.
As one team enters the top 10, another one have to leave and that team is AntonioRossi's.

Top 10:

1. (2) Mellow Velo - 2215
2. (1) Michele - 1970
3. (10) hrotha - 1885
4. (8) TeoSheva - 1863
5. (13) skidmark - 1860
6. (3) Timmy-loves-Rabo - 1858
7. (7) mc_mountain - 1856
8. (9) shalgo - 1772
9. (5) EvansIsTheBest - 1767
10. (4) gustienordic - 1752

Alright! I'll enjoy this moment in the sun, much better than my 2 early season top 10ish results this year and last due to the Australian championships. The season hasn't really started yet, but top 5 heading into Paris-Nice is pretty significant. Hopefully the team's got staying power.

And congrats Hugo! Seeing your name in lights is a thrill, no doubt.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Tough week, but I wouldn't call my team cobbled orientated, so I am content with a top 10 place.

But still an ok week coming up if rujano can win tour of langkawi.

Hopefully poels can deliver at Murica. Kelderman too maybe...

Driedaagse West-Vlaanderen and Le Samyn not too high hopes.. maaskant, kreder?

Battaglin, Duarte, atapuma, pozzato, moser, madrazo.. maybe on or two of tem can get me some points at Strade Bianche

 

[AntonioRossi]

Really bad week for me. Dropped 8 places because I did not really focus on the classics. oh well

 

[Eric8-A]

I only have Veilleux for tomorrow's race.

 

[Popchu]

Chainel, Ignatiev en Boeckmans for Le Samyn. Maybe Boeckmans, let's hope.

 

[Eric8-A]

I must have not seen Ignatiev on the first pass.

 

[greenedge]

How do you figure? Hutarovich didn't get a lead-out at all if you're referring to the actual sprint.

around the 11:00 mark:

Ok, I just looked at the results and saw them so close together. Thx for pointing out.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Demare wins the GP Samyn.

 

[The Hitch]

Just a thought.

A few of us took Nikita Novikov.

Any ideas as to where he will shine?

Cos at the moment he is looking like fail pick of the year.

Yes, even more than offredo.

 

[hrotha]

So glad I went with Demare over Petit.

 

[Mellow Velo]

So glad I went with Demare over Petit.

I have them both. Petit was 3rd. Trentin 10th.
Total 132 points from a Wednesday afternoon race.

 

[roundabout]

I am more and more upset that I didn't pick Boeckmans. There are plenty of 1.1 races he can score in that end in sprints.

 

[LaFlorecita]

I have them both. Petit was 3rd. Trentin 10th.
Total 132 points from a Wednesday afternoon race.

Lol you're doing great so far.

 

[will10]

Demare ahead of Boeckmans...the list of riders that were on my shortlist only to miss the final cut and then excel continues to grow

 

[shalgo]

7 out of the top 10 in last week's update have Demare; none of them has Boeckmans, and only Mellow Vello has Petit.

 

[taiwan]

That'll be a strike out for today, then.

But such things happen

 

[greenedge]

I am happy i only dropped 3 places ( though i expect to drop a bit more when the big Classics come up ).

 

[CQmanager]

Chris Horner showed up for my local group ride again this morning and since he is on my team I started complaining about him not scoring any points for me yet He was laughing and told me he will win Tirreno for me. He is hoping to win the opening stage TTT and get 20 sec lead and then he can just follow wheels. He also told me that he is not going to Paris-Nice because there is just one MTF and the climb is too short for him and since the schlecks and klodi is going there, he will be the protected rider at Tirreno.

 

[Lortnoc]

Wow, full top 3 of today in my team. Demare and Boeckmans moving close to profit.

Expecting a lot more from Demare this season.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

@CQM nice, he better deliverr

Demare ahead of Boeckmans...the list of riders that were on my shortlist only to miss the final cut and then excel continues to grow

me also. I didn't think he would have such a good season to be honest.
