The 2013 CQ Ranking Manager Game

[HelgeBlendet]

Tour of Oman:
Eijssen
Cancellara
Breschel
Appollonio
Chainel

Rest of the next week doesn't look much better so far.

 

[Jancouver]

Lofkvist was a tempting pick but since it wasnt clear if IAM will get invited to any decent races, I left him behind. I dont think I scored any points this week

 

[Tigerion]

Had 8 guys riding Mediterraneen and only Lofkvist earns me points.

Disappointed that Pinot could not even get top 30.

I had 8 as well but think I had 2 riders scoring. Lofkvist as well as Geniez even if it wasn't big points

Think I was around the 450 - 500 mark this week depending on how many < 20 points I get

 

[Eric8-A]

Minimal points by Nieve on the stage, better points by Peraud being second overall and that's about it for me in Med.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Update 5: Ambiturner93 turns everything around

The top 5 of this week's top scorers were very close. Ambiturner93 won the title this week, mainly because he had the winners of both stage races this week, Cavendish and Löfkvist. Only 12 points separated the rest of the top 5.

This week's top scorers:

1. Ambiturner93 - 598
2. sublimit - 546
3. CraZyCaLL - 543
4. Geraint Too Fast - 542
5. bicing - 534

Ambiturner93 was also this week's high jumper, moving up 83 places. CraZyCaLL, 3rd on this week's top scorer list, takes 2nd place on the high jumper list as he wins 74 places.

This week's high jumpers:

1. Ambiturner93 +83
2. CraZyCaLL +74
3. Dim +69
4. Tigerion +63
5. bicing +59

This week's top 10 is radically different from last week's. The calculated mathematician Skibby the bush kangaroo jumps 5 places and is now the leader. nordicICE1024 moves from 10th to 2nd, King Of The Worlds from 14th to 3rd as adamski101, AAC1983 and ingsve are all pushed out of the top 3.
sublimit and Geraint Too Fast were both among the high jumpers this week, and that earns them both a spot in the top 10. Geraint Too Fast even makes it into the top 5.

Meanwhile, gustienordic, Kjellus, MADRAZO, Maaaaaaaarten and TeoSheva all lose their spot in the top 10.

Top 10:

1. (+5) Skibby the bush kangaroo - 1343
2. (+8) nordicICE1024 - 1339
3. (+11) King Of The Worlds - 1318
4. (-1) ingsve - 1267
5. (+25) Geraint Too Fast - 1244
6. (-5) adamski101 - 1241
7. (-3) DnthasldHoff 1215
8. (-6) AAC1983 - 1203
9. (+39) sublimit - 1186
10. (+24) nck1000 - 1156

Sitting nicely in 14th after a strong 494 / 37 / 11 Cav & Peraud led week.

Ready to strike.

My wife however is not doing so well sitting at 125.

She insisted on having her fav riders Contador, Boonen and Hoogerland in her team.

Thank god for LÖFKVIST & ROUX.

She needs a big Contador Oman to rise up the table.

 

[HelgeBlendet]

I love downhill. 32nd at the moment and I no hope for a leap into the top 30 next week.

Löfkvist was on my shortlist as well, but as I had him last year and wasn't sure how many wildcards IAM will receive, I deceided to drop him. Might hurt at the end.

 

[vladimir]

Dropped 15 places into 68th, but that was more or less expected with Kreuziger, Taaramäe and Pinot all scoring zero at Med for different reasons

BTW; which sources do you guys (and girls) use for startlists. I have used Cyclingfever and Procyclingstats but both of those have very incomplete lists for the upcoming races now... According to Procyclingstats Kruiswijk will start in both Algarve and Haut Var so he will be busy

I use procyclingstats and yes the startlists for algarve and Laigueglia are not complete

This is outrageous, damn you Pinot, damn you...

[skidmark]

Not terrible, actually moved up 3 spots - thanks Lofkvist! Rebellin got a paltry 7 points, but I'm gonna trust his tweet that he could've done better but for a stomach bug. Sicard is, well... damn. I've had faith for 3 years, I'll hold out a little longer. Hushovd finished the last, tough stage with Pinot's group, so that's a good sign for him. Guardini got off the mark but kind of underwhelming thus far. I'll withhold judgement until Langkawi.

This week I got:

Appolonio (first points already), Dombrowski, Kennaugh, Trentin, Van Kiersbulck, Gilbert and Breschel in Oman

Kelderman and who the hell knows in Algarve

Hushovd, Schleck (surely even andy can finish a 2-day race?), Jungels, Dekker, Pinot, Lofkvist in Haut Var

probably Battaglin and Barbin (and apparently Gilbert?) in Laigueglia

Bobridge, Rojas, Farrar, Nuyens and Rebellin in Andalucia

Things are starting to heat up!

 

[jsem94]

Still at 15th spot... pretty good.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Heading fluently to that top 130 spot

At least I had Löfkvist

Don't think Phil is going to make that 2nd one.

 

[TeoSheva]

Don't think Phil is going to make that 2nd one.

you are defintely right

 

[LaFlorecita]

you are defintely right

maybe he will drop out of Oman

 

[Hugo Koblet]

maybe he will drop out of Oman

Even if he did, he wouldn't be allowed to start in another race then, right?

 

[LaFlorecita]

Even if he did, he wouldn't be allowed to start in another race then, right?

hmmm I don't know

 

[tomazo]

Riders theoretically arent allowed to enter another race for the duration of the original one. However Cavendish in 2011 got permission form uci to start in tour of britain, when he withdrew from vuelta.

Nonetheless, that was GT, so i dont think that Gilbert will be allowed to do this.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Styby 3 points
