The 2013 CQ Ranking Manager Game

Quintana my only finisher in Pais Vasco

 

[the asian]

Not a bad Pais Vasco. 130 points in total including 73 from Gadret, 47 from Ulissi and 5 each from Sicard and Pinot.

Andy, Gilbert, Rujano and Matthews all abandoned.
Pinot the big disappointment. Expected much more from him.

 

[the asian]

Quintana my only finisher in Pais Vasco

692 pts already. Just 15 points adrift of last years's total points.

Silly me for not picking him. Thought he wouldn't double his score.

 

[jaylew]

Yesssssssss!!!!! Nairo picks up 398 from PV, winning the points comp today as well.

That gives me close to 700 between Scheld and PV so I'm already guaranteed a good week. Could do ok at Roubaix but I could just as easily be completely shut out as I have no faith in any of my guys for that one.

Roubaix
Stybar
Devolder
Hushovd
Thomas
Farrar
Rosseler
Guardini
Breschel
Rojas

Klasika Primavera
Quintana
Ospina
Cobo
Astarloza

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised to see Nairo pull out of this after today.

Who will turn out to be a better CQ pick, Nairo or Richie? So far it's Porte but it may come down to who is given his own opportunity at a GT this year.

Quintana
last year: 707 this year: 692

Porte
last year: 680 this year: 893

I believe Greenedge has both of these guys. Nice.

 

[will10]

Porte is going to be the better pick because so few have him, right?

[greenedge]

46O GC points from Pais- Quintana and Porte and then a disappointing Pinot, who can hopefully go better soon.

Very happy-@Jaylew:thx.
Congrats to those who picked Weening and any who picked Spilak.
Just need to go well at P-R, hopefully Oss, Thomas and Langeveld can top 10.

So far Quintana is turning out to be the saving grace of my team.

 

[Jancouver]

Disappointing Basque Country for me ... at least Rick Zabel won the U23 Flanders and is into profit.

@greenedge congrats on the double. btw just one team with Spilak

Only one team has Spilak in 2013. Some of us who had him in 2012 should have kept him again in 2013

 

[Tigerion]

I think Tigerion did.

Yep
When I heard he was doing Langkawi I thought that would be good for some points and is almost the only option for OGE to regular top 10 in smaller stage races

 

[LaFlorecita]

692 pts already. Just 15 points adrift of last years's total points.

Silly me for not picking him. Thought he wouldn't double his score.

Yep when I saw his schedule I thought he would get around 1000 points but not the 1500+ what would make him a great pick. Meanwhile my only finisher is Pinot, yay 5 points

Also Alberto is looking good for a spot on my team next year

 

[mc_mountain]

insane week for will10.

 

[Froome19]

Decent week for me with Quintana raking in the points, Gallopin and Meyer getting a couple in France and Stybar coming 6th in Roubaix. Just a shame Stybar didn't make the podium after his collision.

 

[Ruudz0r]

Almost had the entire podium with Canc, Vanmarcke and Styby but still not a bad result. Although I will fall back a little now that the cobbled classics are done.

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

For the second week in a row Canc & Cav stopped my team from going belly up. Not sure it'll be enough to keep my place in the top 10 though.

 

[will10]

insane week for will10.

Robbed of a 1-2-3 when Stybar got clipped...

Quintana + 1-2-6-7 in Roubaix - I won't beat this week for sure. I've peaked.

 

[Ferminal]

That Gilbert guy might finally win a race though.

 

[taiwan]

Again, I just can't believe I flicked Gaudin from the team the year he breaks out. Had had him as a (almost) unique pick a couple of times and waited and waited.

Hoboy I am bombing in this game.

 

[the asian]

Thankfully the cobbles are over. Expected much more when I picked Pippo, Matti, Nuyens, Thor and Thomas. Epic fail.

 

[HelgeBlendet]

354 points from P-R. Won't help this week with just 10 points or so from Pais Vasco. Quite happy with the cobbled season. Nevertheless, I even expected more from guys like Chainel, Breschel, Thomas, Nuyens, Hushovd and Roelandts. Langeveld and Cancellara are within the expected range.

Now I'm hoping for Gilbert and Slagter. Maybe Anton, Kruijswijk and Lutsenko o) can show something in the next few weeks. Apart from that, I don't see anyone up for more than 5 points per WT-race. Downhill

I have all those guys as well as the ones that fired. If I wasn't going to be near the top post-Roubaix it was never going to happen. I will enjoy my 15 mins of fame and watch the fight for the top as I start my descent back into mediocre mid-field

That's insane. You've got to be tops this week, I would think.

Stybar the only thing that kept my PR from being a complete disaster.

i think it might be at least 3/4 of an hour of fame. I reckon you've got about a 500 point lead after today.
