The 2013 CQ Ranking Manager Game

[LaFlorecita]

Dont know if I scored much in TA or other races, but in MSR i got basically what you did only I had Canc instead of Stannard and Colbrelli score 50 or some such for 12 place

You have Taaramae right? And cobo got 30 in T-A.

 

[mc_mountain]

Thats far less than I thought, i thought it was like 50.

Surprised you dont have him though. Finally found a weak link in your team after Rojas turned out to be a dud.

He was always close to being in my team, but dont think he actually made any of my provisional teams. i guess it could have pretty easily been him instead of Lutsenko that got drafted in at the last minute (in which case i'd be sitting pretty in the top 10 tomorrow with you). but happy to ride gerald into the top spot in the classics game.

 

[The Hitch]

I feel really stupid now throwing away a thousand points on Gilbert.

You have Taaramae right? And cobo got 30 in T-A.

yeah taramei 40. And cobo 30? pff i probably got more points from riders finishing Tirreno in the lower places (5 points each)

 

[LaFlorecita]

Volta Ciclista a Catalunya (WT)
ARU Fabio
BOBRIDGE Jack
PINOT Thibaut
VAN LEIJEN Joost
BRAMBILLA Gianluca
EDMONDSON Joshua
KENNAUGH Peter
MAJKA Rafal

I hope Pinot and Brambles can do well in GC and hopefully also Majka, Edmondson and Aru with ok placings

Yea but now Cobo already has 45 points this is going to be a great season I can just feel it

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

You have the right attitude LaFlorecita, let's forget about this week as quickly as possible and rather focus on next week.

[jaylew]

Ugh. I'm sitting there watching MSR thinking "I wouldn't mind a Stannard win, he's on my CQ team" and when he scored 100 I thought it made a horrendous day(and week) for my team a little less so.

Turns out I had him confused with Kennaugh

Damned double n's Brits!

No don't wanna forget about this week I hope next week will be good also

 

[King Of The Wolds]

I feel really stupid now throwing away a thousand points on Gilbert.

Me too. Still 471 points today, even without Ciolek.

 

[Panda Claws]

I feel really stupid now throwing away a thousand points on Gilbert.

He is still virtually without any serious concurrents in the Ardennes week.

Sagan only does AGR (?), Rodriguez isn't a threat in AGR and LBL so that leaves Nibali.

 

[Tigerion]

Farewell top 10, it was nice knowing you. Think I only managed 130 or something for the week

 

[jaylew]

Feast to Famine. I don't think I even scored 100 this week.

 

[greenedge]

Why could you not win last year- when i had you on my team Ciolek??????????????????????

I had Taaramae get me 40 points, but my M-SR Assault failed. Goss, Oss, Ponzi, Hushovd and Thomas all DNF and i thought Goss and Hushovd had good chances of winning and Thomas would have featured too.
Instead i had Rojas, a strong Gilbert who did not feature at the end, Langeveld and Appollonio, give me 42 points...

 

[GP Blanco]

I hope to receive more points after a not that bad MSR, or at least better than Paris-Nice and T-A.

[Maaaaaaaarten]

He is still virtually without any serious concurrents in the Ardennes week.

Sagan only does AGR (?), Rodriguez isn't a threat in AGR and LBL so that leaves Nibali.

Valverde

Also, looking at last Vuelta, Rodriguez is definitely a threat for LBL, it seems his engine has gotten quite a bit bigger. As far as I'm concerned, he has bigger competition in the Ardenes than he's had last couple of years.

 

[HelgeBlendet]

Oh well... Ciolek... He was on my shortlist, but I rejected him thinking MTN wouldn't receive any big wildcards and if, Cio won't score big.

MSR looked better than it turned out to be, but with Cancellara, Bardet, Roelandts and Langeveld I scored a bit (some 5-pointers not included). Really happy with Bardet. Never expected him up there.

Catalunya
Aru
Bobridge
Kruijswijk
Eijssen
Anton
Ahlstrand
Rujano

Surprise me!

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Decent week. Baugnies into profit, Cav looking good (despite not winning a sprint since Qatar), and Taaramae showing signs of life.

Tour de Taiwan
Meintjes

Volta a Catalunya
Bobridge
Pinot
Van Leijen
Edmondson
Arroyo

 

[the asian]

Matthews didn't start Catalunya coz he split Tea on his legs and hands giving him second degree burns

MAJKA Rafal

I hope Pinot and Brambles can do well in GC and hopefully also Majka, Edmondson and Aru with ok placings

I jinxed all of them

 

[the asian]

Nice start to Catalunya with Meersman winning.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Rafal lost 5 minutes

 

[vladimir]

Rafal lost 5 minutes

It was his very first race this season so he is probably coming back from illness or injury. And now he will be allowed to get into breaks
But maybe he just is jinxed by me. Three of my riders in Catalunya lost more than 5 minutes today (Valls and Bobridge in additon to Rafal), and no one of the other seven was in the winning break...

 

[CQmanager]

I'm sure Hugo got full update coming ...

Not sure if this is correct! Just for your entertainment!
