The 2012 CQ Ranking Manager Game

[auscyclefan94]

Sucks that fruli was cancelled.

No, it was a shame that the race organiser was a pimp.

Anyway, my teams for upcoming & current races

Langkawi
Zabrizkie

3 days of west flanders
Rogers
Cantwell

Murcia
Nobody

Strade Bianche
Kreuziger
Iglinskiy
Gasparotto
Pozzato
Oss

Paris Nice
Wyss
Haussler
Keukeleire
Menchov
Lloyd
Basso
Szmyd
Henderson
Boonen
Renshaw
LL Sanchez
Larsson

Tirreno
Kreuziger
Gasparotto
Iglingskiy
Duarte
Pozzato
Oss
Rabon
M. Velits
P. Velits
Breschel
Carrara
Devolder

Currently in 73rd place but with my Tirreno, Strade Bianche and Paris-Nice teams I should move up a fair bit in the next 1.5 weeks.

 

[greenedge]

Have anyone started doing a shortlist for next year? I know of one who has, and I'm already at four names

I have.

It's so obvious who you have as the 90% as well.

Nice team ACF ( 24 separate riders in action )
Kreuziger, Duarte, P Velits and probably Menchov/ Haussler to get you good points. I think Menchov might even win P-N over Wiggins/ others.

Good luck but dont get too excited because we all have most of our riders in action over the next few weeks.

 

[The Hitch]

He abandoned in the Ruta del Sol, said he had no power in the legs. They took him to a doctor, but I haven't heard anything since. Could be another mono story, who knows.

Thanks for the update.

Heh, that shows admirable commitment, but I'd say it's a wasted effort this early in the season.

Might even be counterproductive.

Theres one guy who should be on everyones provisional list by now.

 

[Eric8-A]

Have anyone started doing a shortlist for next year? I know of one who has, and I'm already at four names

I have. I believe I have 6 riders on mine.

 

[Eric8-A]

Vuelta a Murcia

Mikel Nieve
Vladimir Karpets
David De La Fuente


Strade Bianche

Juan Pablo Suarez
Filippo Pozzato
Peter Stetina
Adriano Malori

[Hugo Koblet]

It's so obvious who you have as the 90% as well.

Actually, I'm not sure it's the one you're thinking of, but I guess we'll have to wait almost a year to find out

[hrotha]

I have no idea who you guys are talking about. I'm a bit worried here.

 

[Gloin22]

Contador ?

 

[Hugo Koblet]

This is turning out to be quite a good week for me I think. Guardini is doing his stuff in Langkawi (with Pelucchi and Colbrelli scoring some minor points as well), Quintana and Poels 1-2 in Murcia, Demare won Le Samyn and I could potentially score a few points in Driedaagse van West-Vlaanderen also. I had no one in Strade Bianche though.

Edit: as I wrote this, Demare took some small points in Driedaagse van West-Vlaanderen and is now in profit!
Edit 2: I completely forgot that I had Kreuziger in my team. I was actually really surprised when I went through my team just a while ago.

 

[CQmanager]

Few unexpected points from Strade Bianche ... Iglinskiy, Ballan, Kreuziger ...

Happy to see Spartacus back killing the field

 

[Hugo Koblet]

While looking through some old documents, I found this as one of my earliest drafts:


POELS Wout
PINOT Thibaut
ANTON HERNANDEZ Igor
KREUZIGER Roman
BOONEN Tom
COSTA Rui Alberto Faria
GUARDINI Andrea
POZZATO Filippo
PORTE Richie
TALANSKY Andrew
BATTAGLIN Enrico
VAN KEIRSBULCK Guillaume
VELITS Peter
HARDY Romain
MADRAZO RUIZ Angel
HENAO MONTOYA Sergio Luis
BLYTHE Adam
KREDER Michel
DEMARE Arnaud
ROGERS Michael
KELDERMAN Wilco
VANMARCKE Sep
SANTORO Antonio
PUCCIO Salvatore
BRESCHEL Matti
PELUCCHI Matteo
MOSER Moreno
ELISSONDE Kenny
LANDA MEANA Mikel
QUINTANA ROJAS Nairo Alexander
MAJKA Rafal
COLBRELLI Sonny
SLAGTER Tom Jelte

That would have put me in the lead by a hundred points at the moment

But that was before I decided I didn't want to include guys like Porte and Rogers whom I don't really like that much, and guys like Blythe and Fenn that I don't know much about.

Guess I should have kept Kreder and Hardy though

 

[Lortnoc]

This is really a good week, scoring points from Demare (2x), Petit, Iglinski, Kreuziger and Quintana.

Let's see, for PN we have: Sicard, Viviani, Boonen, LL Sanchez, Renshaw, Kroon, Boeckmans, Larsson, Maaskant, Vanmarcke, Vandenbergh.

Only expecting to get some points from the sprinters among the above. But hoping that LL Sanchez will be his former self.

I'll have to delete my 2012 shortlist because all it does is show me who I should've picked.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Lol it's looking good for me again.

 

[Froome19]

Tirreno-Adriatico
Betancur
Kreuziger
Kessiakoff
Battaglin
Pozzato
Landa
Talansky
Vanendert
Breschel
Kruisiwijik
Velits
Majka
Devolder

Paris-Nice
Sicard
Vanmarke
Haussler
Spilak
Boonen
Keukaleire
Maaskant

My paris-nice line up is relatively poor but Tirrenno easily makes up for it, with a whole range of GC contenders and classics guys

 

[Froome19]

Have anyone started doing a shortlist for next year? I know of one who has, and I'm already at four names

Yeh it is basically the riders who are riding the olympic track: so basically the australian TP squad + some of the Brits TP and Viviani (+ possibly Kluge)

 

[taiwan]

Not a big scoring day, but I'm just glad Iglinsky is showing something.

 

[The Hitch]

Bad day for me.

Seems stupid now to have dropped Iglynski.

I regret that.

Don't regret dropping Quintana. In the hindsight its the wrong decision but back then I didn't think this would be the year he'd jump.

Don't regret dropping Quintana. In the hindsight its the wrong decision but back then I didn't think this would be the year he'd jump.

Indeed it seems like he is truly readying himself for the classics and the damage to people without him's cq chances may be fatal if he can continue to improve into Gent-wevelgem and TOF

 

[Eric8-A]

I didn't score for S**t at Strade Bianche.

 

[skidmark]

Ahh, I knew there'd be days like this, when 2 guys I dropped near the end of things (Iglinsky and Quintana) both pick up good points. Oh well, Paris-Nice starts tomorrow and I have high hopes.

 

[Eric8-A]

Although I dropped Iglinskiy from my team, and didn't consider Quintana, I'm not regretting that. Hopefully things will go better for me in Paris-Nice.

Paris-Nice

Tom Boonen
Jens Voigt
Richie Porte
Romain Sicard
Andrey Kashechkin
