The 2013 CQ Ranking Manager Game

[*Falze*]

Up one place to 7th. Tour squad looking like :-

Peraud, Gadret, Van Den Broeck, Schlek for TDF overall

with possibily Farrar, Cavendish, Thomas, Hushovd, Seeldrayers, Dekker stage hunting, depending on rosters.


Mrs *Falze* sitting dead last after insisting on picking her favourite riders. Contador must with the TDF to salvage some points. I also told her JJ Haedo would be a bad pick, due to his transfer.

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

TDF will be exciting for this game

I got:
MOLLEMA Bauke
VANMARCKE Sep
HUSHOVD Thor
TAARAMAE Rein
PINOT Thibaut
MEYER Cameron
SCHLECK Andy
THOMAS Geraint
COQUARD Bryan
ROLLAND Pierre
BOECKMANS Kris

Mollema, Pinot, Schleck and Rolland should earn me some GC points

hopefully but doubtfully Taaramae too.

Hopefully guys like Meyer, Hushovd and Vanmarcke will be succesful in stage hunting or whatever their hoping to do.

Don't think I'll earn serious sprint points with Boeckmans, Coquard and Hushovd though

 

[taiwan]

Good team. 3 decent top 10 GC guys. Taaramae in good shape. Coquard impressive this season.

 

[HelgeBlendet]

Still Top15. Never expected to be that good after the first GT.

Tour does look good though:
Bardet (to win polka dots)
?Lutsenko (to crush em all)
Gilbert (a stage win or two)
Hushovd (winning 3 breakaways and green)
Anton (Top5 GC)
Sicard (winning the Alpe d'Huez stage)
Roelandts (leading out Greipel and winning 3 stages as no-one can follow)
Rojas Gil (wins a stage)
Meyer (winning the TT and Top10GC)
Schleck (winning le Tour after a 100km breakaway)
Thomas (hurting Froome in the mountains, winning 2 stages)
Coquard (winning on the Champs Élysées)

Jinxed them all...

I have not been able to access the http://www.cqranking.com website for the better part of a week. I keep getting a "problem loading page--the connection has timed out" error message. Are the rest of you able to get the page?

I haven't got that error at all.

 

[will10]

How on earth am I still in the top 10...

 

[shalgo]

I haven't got that error at all.

I wonder what is going on. I have never had this problem before, and I don't have problems with any other websites. Whatever the problem is, I hope it resolves itself before next Monday, so that I can put together my TDF team.

[Squire]

My team now has lots of national champions! Hushovd, Taaramae, Jungels, Herrada (RR) and Rujano, Jungels (TT). Some good points there.

 

[The Hitch]

Wait, what about Rujano?

 

[Netserk]

Wait, what about Rujano?

He won the ITT _O_

I hope so, but since he didn't race Suisse I doubt it

 

[search]

I hope so, but since he didn't race Suisse I doubt it

he could not go to Switzerland because he had to make a daily report to the italian police in Massa

apparently this isn't the case anymore - or he just took a flight to Venezuela and will be arrested when he comes back to Europe, no idea

 

[Tigerion]

Well at latest Brammier managed to repeat again so doesn't look like he will be a loss to me. Hopefully he can pull another win out and get a few points but for the moment happy he is back towards break even

 

[LaFlorecita]

hope there is a new update soon, according to mc mountain i did quite well this week

edit: 595 points

Nice score, who did you get points from. I don't think I had any winners in my squad but a couple of podium places.

Hopefully we can get a pre tour update so I know how far I have to fall

BRAMMEIER Matthew 60
VANMARCKE Sep 54

[Tigerion]

J.J Rojas into profit

Not great for my team otherwise but with a Gerro win I really don't care

 

[jaylew]

Who's doing updates for this these days?

 

[*Falze*]

Seeldreeyers is making his move for World Tour domination in Austria.

I intend to ride his points up the leaderboard.
