Yes because I want to pick riders I like.

Well he'll cost you 2272. Weigh up if that's worth it.

 

[Mellow Velo]

My eventual downfall? 2 words: Denis Galimzyanov.
Wtf is up with the guy?

No. Max he can get is 2500 lol. That would be an increase of a massive 10%

Cipollini has gone elsewhere with his expertise.

[Eric8-A]

I'm most worried about Suarez on my team. I don't think he'll be able to match the points he got last year.

 

[LaFlorecita]

I already have 61 points this week.

 

[TeoSheva]

Durbridge and Ascani to do a good ITT and give me some points

 

[TeoSheva]

Durbridge and Ascani to do a good ITT and give me some points

64+13 points: 77 points in total, not so bad

 

[Mellow Velo]

Overall, pretty disappointing.
3 Days Down De Panne so to speak.
However, Durbridge, Devolder and Leif Hoste sneak me past the 5000 points in March mark.

 

[LaFlorecita]

I had only one rider in Driedaagse and he scored 91 points.

GP Miguel Indurain (1.HC):
TALANSKY Andrew
CASTROVIEJO NICOLAS Jonathan
FARIA DA COSTA Rui Alberto
DE LA FUENTE RASILLA David
VINTHER Troels Ronning

 

[skidmark]

Well, a few points today from Durbridge, who's in the positive, but not as many as I hoped (and a trickling 9 from a non-sprint-contesting Modolo for 22nd on GC, big whoop). This next week a crapshoot, as always, with some unpredictable races, but my most solid guys are the most popular too.

GP Mig
Landa
Sicard
Talansky
Moser
Costa

I'd say any of these would be in with a shot in a race like that if in form, but the only one that's shown form recently is Moser, and I dunno how he can handle himself against the bigger guns at this race.

Mergelland
Kelderman
Modolo

Judging from recent years, it's a pretty selective race, so not likely Modolo, and Kelderman's got a few other guys on his team that are pretty good, so who knows...

RVV
Boonen
Breschel
Haussler
Vanmarcke
Pozzato
Larsson

All solid picks (well, Larsson solid for 5 finishing points), all immensely popular. A treading water race, CQ-wise

Pais Vasco
Rogers
Henao
Costa
Moser
Davis
P. Velits
Sicard

No idea what to expect, obviously hope for less popular picks like Costa and Moser, but that race is always unpredictable. Can't wait!

 

[Eric8-A]

I was expecting Ignatiev to place higher in the overall. But on the bright side, I'm almost going to break even with him.

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Lots of races this weekend. Highlight of course is RVV.
Also wonder what Brice Feillu will do, don't know much about the race though.
Pais Vasco - only three riders in it for me...go Kruijswijk.

[vladimir]

10 riders in RVV and I really think at least 6 of them might do well

Tom Boonen
Edvald Boasson Hagen
Sep Vanmarcke
Filippo Pozzato
Matti Breschel
Daniel Oss

and four 5 points scorers...

Jaroslaw Marycz
Miguel Minguez
Timon Seubert
Jerome Baugnies

 

[greenedge]

I think Boonen has a chance to get me points at M-SR. I am also of the view Costa will have been peaking for the Ardennes ( so he should go well at the GP Indurain ) and hopefully Velits can get me some points at Pais Vasco.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

My starting riders for the upcoming races; honestly, I have no idea how this will turn out. I don't know much about the french races and I don't really think my RVV and Pais Vasco teams are that strong, but I guess we'll see. I hope that Pinot will score me some points.

Nah he is gonna crash
Costa is a tricky pick as cheaper than he should be but he will be working a lot for Valverde in the races that should suit him and then Visconti and possibly Cobo

Hey, we got ourselves 5 points from Bardet today!

 

[CQmanager]

Not sure if anyone care but the website has been updated ... just so I dont have to do double update next week.

The real question is, does anyone even care about the data on the website since we have most of it available in the Excel file?

Other questions is: dont want to take the momentum away from RVV but together with Hugo we were thinking about maybe doing games for Giro/Tour/Vuelta. Just to keep it fun even for those that are not doing good at this game

Is anybody interested? Something like: pick 10 riders for 2000 points?

Yeah, I check it all the time. I don't save the Excel file into my computer anymore, so I only read it when there's an update, and the rest of the week I look up the site if I want to check anything.

Yep, me too, I have a mac so the spreadsheet isn't as useful for me (the links to each team don't work), I use the site most of the time. The only benefit of the spreadsheet is the overall rankings with the weekly ones beside them on the main ranking page. Thanks for the continued work.
