The 2013 CQ Ranking Manager Game Speculation/name-dropping

[Netserk]

You picked Albasini

He probably won't defend his Catalonia

 

[Thibaut Pinot]

Why no Pinot

Missed that one. Pretty stupid, he? Haste makes waste

Yeah I'd be interested in your opinion on that.

Had Goss in there for a while, but Albasini is an all-rounder, and I just remembered that that type of rider can rack up heaps of points when he's going well. I admit it's questionable to pick someone coming off a very good season.

Stijn Devolder: one of the most popular picks last year at 145pts: now 1/3 off that price in this year's sale. Even more of an irresistible bargain than last year with his Radioshack relaunch, or has he tried everyone's patience too much by now? (I'm in the latter camp, I think, but if I think too much, I might rethink)

55 picks last year: 13 this, although much cheaper. Patience all but exhausted.

I left both Goss and Kittel in my team in the end, my two highest picks. Goss could really be a telling factor for my team based on the low numbers who selected him. The other factor I guess will be is some of the first season step up to pro tour riders, like Pichon or Will Clarke.

Was surprised to see somebody pick Boonen, not sure how many more points they think he can make this season.
