The 2013 CQ Ranking Manager Game

[shalgo]

I doubt we are going to see scores as high as last year, for one reason: Boonen.

I doubt we are going to see scores as high as last year, for one reason: Boonen.

and also because a lot of us have Gilbert, that I'm not sure will gain too much...

 

[LaFlorecita]

60 points from TA GC, 30 for Cobo and 5 for Roux, Ciolek, Farrar, Dowsett, Stybar, Thor

 

[TeoSheva]

60 points from TA GC, 30 for Cobo and 5 for Roux, Ciolek, Farrar, Dowsett, Stybar, Thor

I'm around 200 thanks to Kwiat, Caruso, Cobo and some 5 points scorer

 

[LaFlorecita]

I considered Kwiatkowski but in the end thought he was too expensive

 

[taiwan]

Looking for potential points in the next races on the calendar. So Rujano's debuting at the Volta a Catalunya?

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Got 57 + some 5 pointers in TA. So disappointing.

It also needs to stop snowing in Belgium, so that we'll finally have some cobbled races for my team to earn points.

 

[al_pacino]

Poels has had a nice start but don't want to put too much pressure on him.(not that I think he might read it if I did)

 

[Jancouver]

I need the Milano-San Remo results in this order. (Not sure if all of them will start but most of them are fast(er) finishers)

Bennati (2)
Huta (4)
Ferrari (5)
Swift (11)
Stybar (20)
Feillu R. (27)
Guardini (32)
Ponzi (32)
Rojas (68)
Gilbert (94)
Thomas (104)
Hushovd (118)

Well, if I can get at least Bennati, Huta and Ferrari sweep the podium I would be happy

 

[LaFlorecita]

Majka will ride Volta a Catalunya _O_ 240 points for him

 

[greenedge]

Update #9: greenedge edges it

With Paris-Nice out of the way, a lot has happened in this game. greenedge had a very good week - well, it's hard not to with Porte in your team - as did Akubra who is the only other team with Porte in it. The average score for the week was 177 points which makes greenedge point harvest quite impressive.

This week's top scorers:

1. greenedge - 653
2. Akubra - 537
3. jaylew - 514
4. cj2002 - 451
5. taiwan - 426

greenedge is also this week's high jumper as he moves up an incredible 79 places - from 92nd to 13th. Akubra is also among the highest jumping teams this week, as he jumps 52 places.

This week's high jumpers:

1. greenedge +79
2. jaylew +54
3. Akubra +53
4. cj2002 +48
5. coinneach +39

Thx again for the running of the game.

I am happy Porte went well and hopefully he can get some more points later.

I only scored 45 GC points in T-A so i expect to move back down, quite soon.

 

[Tigerion]

I'm around 200 thanks to Kwiat, Caruso, Cobo and some 5 points scorer

That's pretty good, pretty sure I've lost my top 10 as I think I ended up with 10 points from TA.
My big hope is for Goss to win MSR again

[EvansIsTheBest]

I still can't believe I took Feillu over Péraud. Ciolek looks set for a good season and of course he was the last rider I took out. Kwiatkowski is going to be a very good pick, don't know why I thought he was 25 instead of 22, otherwise I might have picked him. Better luck next year I hope.

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

So for coming week it should be something like this for me. I'm okay with it; got guys who can earn points in a few different races. Hoping Pippo does well in MSR and hoping to bag in further on the Coquard potential.

I figure my best shots here are a couple of guys everybody has

 

[The Hitch]

Not really important to the game, but out if interest, how was this decided

Tirreno adriatico points classification
3. FROOME Chris SKY 25 18
4. NIBALI Vincenzo AST 25 10

 

[Ferminal]

First countback would be whoever had the highest single points result which would have been Froome winning the stage, therefore he wins.

Same for KoM the first countback is # of HC climbs won.

 

[LaFlorecita]

9 points for Matti today

 

[Hugo Koblet]

108 points from Jungels and Felline today

 

[skidmark]

well, I think Jungels got me as many points today from an Italian 1.1 race as I got from P-N and T-A combined. Both welcome and sad.

Next up: San Remo...

Guardini (yeah right)
Battaglin (if he finishes I'm happy)
Gilbert (doesn't look close to top form)
Hushovd (does look close to top form; but since everyone has him, I am cheering for other guys on my team more)
Farrar (if it ends in a sprint...)
Lofkvist (meh)
Pozzato (always possible)
Rojas (also always possible)
Breschel (ditto)

Don't have much realistic hope, but any of Hushovd, Breschel, Pozzato has the stuff to make it to a selective sprint, and Rojas and Farrar if it's a bigger sprint. And never count out Phil Gil.
