Pretty good week for me I think, considering the small amount of races.

Guardini managed 100 points in Langkawi while Colbrelli and Pelucchi assembled roughly 30 points combined. Demare earned 139 in Le Samyn and Driedaagse van West-Vlaanderen. Kreuziger 28 points in Strade Bianche, while Quintana and Poels earned 212 points in Murcia. A shame that Van Keirsbulck had a puncture 4 km before the finish line in todays stage in DVWV, otherwise he would have finished 5th, giving me an additional 50 points.

Well, roughly 500 points - I'll take it!

On a different note, I'm going on a vacation so I won't be able to do the next update (and perhaps not the next after that one). I've asked if CQmanager wants to do it, but haven't received an answer.

If noone does it, feel free to do it!

Sorry didnt notice your message....

I will be doing the updates online so everything other than the excel file will be available there. The rankings etc will be there. If I have a minute I may try to add some kind of weekly numbers but I doubt I will have time for that. I'm finishing one big project so hopefully after that I can look closer at the site and make some improvements ....

Bottom line, the updated results will be available once the numbers are available by the CQ guys. If anybody got time to update the excel, just PM me and I will make it available for download on the site.

Hmm, by my brief calculations I've got 233 points this week, only 6 points from Murcia, nothing in Langkawi (well, no riders) and one placing in Strade Bianche. Demare carried my team this week. Not the greatest, I'm sure I'll slip a bit, hopefully stay in the top 10, and I believe in my chances in the 2 big WT races (already off to a good start with the leader's jersey and 4th overall). Really, a win in a 1.1 race, stage in a 2.1 race, and the prologue of a WT race isn't a bad week for a holding pattern.

And now ****ing Larson.

Jeez, I want to get this early season over with.

I was feeling the same last week.

Cancellara, Iglinskiy, Quintana and Larsson later and things have turned around. Gesink managed to score a few which is a bonus at this stage, more importantly he looks to be building his form well.

Even Sonny finally managed to get a podium, and the Khat scraped in for 5 points, so level with Sicard.

durbridge gives up track, good news :cool:

Indeed, was inevitably going to happen after missing the World Cup. Hence why I picked him somewhere else :D Hopefully GreenEdge give him a couple of classics to see whether or not he's going to be able to handle the distance @ the Olympics.

Pee poor day yesterday, only 15 points.
Lucky for me Guardini has scored another 100 points since the last update. 6 stage wins scoring more than winning the Langkawi GC. That and a clean up at Samyn should see me ok.
Dennis Galimyziaov is currently an anchor around my neck.

You will still stay in the lead i think.

Keukeleire is a bigger anchor than anyone at the moment.

I have not been on for a while so i am happy that i got points from Demare, Kreuziger, Inglinsky and Quintana.

But Rogers/ Meyer/ Porte will probably be in good form after the TDF ( which Durbridge will probably not do- so the selectors might pick one of those 3 ) so one of them will accompany Cadel in the ITT slot. Then one of Haussler/ Renshaw will be in the team with Goss as leader. O'Grady will probably be in the team as well unless something happens. They may also want to take Gerrans as he is Aussie RR/ packs an ok sprint/ could feature in moves.

i'm disappointed about West Vlaanderen, Kwiatkowski had it in the bag after the prologue but managed to crash and DNF stage 2... 110 points :rolleyes:

I feel sorry for you ( bad luck ). Hopefully he is not to bad as well either.

Yep, a bit of bad luck but i'm still confident in this pick. He wasn't cheap so very few have him but he's already showed some promising early form and i hope one bad day won't prevent him (as well as the others in my team of course) from the big CQ breakthrough :)

me too. For the moment is only 13 point behind the last year and without bad luck could be already at 50% of his cost... never mind ;)
 
Hmm, I've won both stages of Paris-Nice, but I don't feel satisfied. Odd. I guess it's because Tejay was my only GC rider that made the split (I can't realistically expect more than 4th place with Wiggins, Leip and Valv), and my hopes of picking up even some good minor GC placings are in danger with Porte losing 11 minutes... oh well, at least the semi-expensive Taylor Phinney picked up his first point of the season, finally. Woo 8th place on the stage!

It was good that when I was watching the race, my CQ team disappointment was by far washed away by my love of exciting racing (or rather, 'race developments' as the racing in itself wasn't too wild, just the echelons). So nice to have the real season underway.

Remember though, that the points you score with Van Garderen are much more valuable than those of the more popular riders in the game (Porte, Sanchez, Larsson). Wiggins, Leipheimer and Valverde are on 1 team each.
