====================================

Thats it for me guys, good luck to y'all

CQM OUT

 

[freddybobs]

I had better bask in the glory while I can because Switzerland is looking mighty gloomy.

 

[Tigerion]

6th for the week and a mention in the high jumpers so pretty happy with that

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Cav and Mollema into profit on the same day. Oh, and Andy!

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

My team for Suisse did pretty well, with Mollema, Pinot and Meyer.

 

[HelgeBlendet]

Meyer, Anton and a bunch of 5-pointers in TdS. Bardet into profit after RdS. Not too bad. Still, Kruijswijk is just horrible so far...

 

[skidmark]

Okay, nice to finally get some points from a number of places. Pinot picks up a handy bunch in TdS, Jungels gets the stage and 5th overall in Luxembourg, invisible Dekker gets at least 35 points in ZLM, Barbin (who's been invisible since March) gets the same in Slovenia, and even underachieving expensive picks like Gilbert and Farrar pick up dribs and drabs on the stages. Hardly winning form, but at least the ship is righting itself with plenty of season to go... on to the lottery of the national champs.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

I'm here to do the next update Will be an interesting one, I think.

 

[*Falze*]

Looking forward to keeping in top 10.

Peraud's one bad day cost me quite a few points.

but steady points should keep me up there.

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

So, I think the update should be out by now right?

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Update #23: Two "G's" dominate

One of the "G's", gustienordic, has a very good week, scoring 761 points from Mollema, Gadret, Bardet, Pinot and Kittel amond others. That puts him on top of the top scorers list, almost 100 points ahead of comodoro in 2nd place.

This week's top scorers:

1. gustienordic - 761
2. comodoro - 664
3. Geraint Too Fast - 633
4. Maaaaaaaarten - 610
5. LightBing - 608

gustienordic is also superior on the high jumpers list, moving up 31 places from 54th to 23rd. cj2002 is the second highest jumping team moving up 25 places, while Maaaaaaaarten is the only other one who's on both the top scorer and high jumper lists.

This week's high jumpers:

1. gustienordic +31
2. cj2002 +25
3. The Amateur +22
4. Maaaaaaaarten +19
5. CQmanager +18

In the top 10, not much has happened. Out leader, the other "G", Geraint Too Fast, expands his lead as he's 3rd on this week's top scorers list, and his lead is now 587 points. Surely that's enough to keep the lead untill after Tour de France?

ironted jumps 3 places to 3rd, will10 drops 4 places to 9th after a horrendous week, while Karbonkel drops out of the top 10.

Top 10:

1. (-) Geraint Too Fast - 7339
2. (-) element - 6752
3. (+3) ironted - 6668
4. (-) SteelyDan - 6656
5. (-2) Dim - 6611
6. (+1) bicing - 6527
7. (+1) *Falze* - 6351
8. (+1) adamski101 - 6301
9. (-4) will10 - 6233
10. (+1) chinaboy - 6204

[Ferminal]

Somehow in the top50 still.

Need HERMANS and GALLOPIN to win their road races or something.

Tour squad something like EVANS, QUINTANA, GALLOPIN, PINOT, TAARAMÄE, KLÖDEN, MEYER, BARDET, JEANNESSON is pretty good I guess.

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Yay first time being mentioned in an update again since Slagter won the TDU

 

[taiwan]

TdF lineup

Evans, Albasini, Nieve, Peraud, Rojas? Favilli, Niemiec, De Clercq, Meyer, Hushovd? Kloeden, Schleck, Thomas. (cyclingfever)

Realistic expectations: top 10ish placings for Evans, Nieve, Kloeden and JC Peraud, maybe even Meyer. Possible stage wins for Albasini, Niemiec, Schleck (optimistic), stage placings for the rest if I'm lucky. Evans will likely place on or even win a few stages whether or not the GC is happening for him.

 

[Squire]

34th now, following a drop of eight places this week...

My ten most expensive picks are all still in the red.

Good news is that one of my unique picks, Moises Duenas, is now into profit and sure to be scoring more later on. My other unique pick, Fraile, has been profitable for some time now. We're of course not talking huge numbers, but nice anyway.

 

[shalgo]

Still no teams in green. At this point last year, 65 teams had already turned a profit.

 

[vladimir]

Back into the top 30!
I might have a strong team for the Tour as well with Quintana, Pinot, Kreuziger, Taaramäe and Anton (plus Gilbert and A Schleck among others). Also very pleased to see my unique pick Kenny DeHaes taking another win today.
Might be the best unique pick of all this season?

I not 100% sure how the other unique picks are doing, but yes, I think Dehaes is the best one so far. Very nice pick!

It's actually a bit weird that he's a unique pick to be honest. He cost 38% of his 2011 earnings and 46% of his 2010 earnings so it was pretty obvious that he was underperforming in 2012. That said, I never even noticed him.

 

[Netserk]

I have an off year a la Cobo

122nd

The only picks I have that I am happy with are Rebellin, Pinot, Anton & Thomas

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

My vote for best unique pick would be Spilak. Only coinneach picked him.

 

[greenedge]

A bad week, in 83rd but retain 18th. Hopefully Porte can top 5 at the TDF/ Quintana goes well.

Also i need Goss to consistently place well/ win a few stages.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

My vote for best unique pick would be Spilak. Only coinneach picked him.

Alright, he gets my vote as well

 

[coinneach]

My vote for best unique pick would be Spilak. Only coinneach picked him.

But if you look at coinneachs other posts, you'll see a certain "pin in list" approach that fully justifies his placing
