The 2024 CQ Ranking Manager Thread

[tobydawq]

@skidmark There are some errors on my team.

I see the names Fabio Jakobsen, Sam Bennett, Maximilian Schachmann, Frederik Wandahl, Matthew Walls and Ethan Hayter on my roster.

Surely, there's no way I could have been stupid enough to pick them, so they must be erroneous.

 

[Salvarani]

No fracture or dislocation for Carapaz they say.

 

[repre]

Okay, I trust you.

skidmark, when will you have the 2025 thread up?

Can we have re-do and play this year too

yeah it seems like a common problem! I'll look into it and try to fix it by 2025.

I suppose the first step would be the remove the points he's already scored from any of those riders.

 

[Shakes]

It seems like there's an issue with the website @Shakes (well two because I'm not in first but I think I'll blame @shalgo stupidly good team for that one). The graph for position over time is broken (at least for me) and like I said I want to see my team drop in real time. Hopefully it's not too much work to sort that one out. Either way thanks for taking the time to set up the site.

Fixed! Bit later than intended as I ran a half marathon yesterday (blasphemy on a cycling website but alas).

Crazy amount of points a lot of people scored last week! Painfully dropped the ranking a bit myself and gaps are getting huge.

Your graph:

 

[search]

Fuglsang has 5 points for finishing P-N, so @search gets the Ingsve trophy.

the fact that Fuglsang won me something comes a bit unexpected. He doesn't look like a particularly good pick so far .

The same will apply for Kelderman, I'm afraid. Decent performance this week, but far from enough to justify many more personal ambitions, tbh.

Next minor category, first to have half a team in profit? (should we insist on 17 riders, or allow half a team for those who have fewer than 33?) 6 teams on 7 as of this morning.

Still to keep track of the rest getting everyone to score:

CQ Ranking

Date added when team had everyone scoring.

Whatever team name clicked on that table sends to Googleplex's team (with a different number in brackets)

Broken collarbone for Wilco

 

[Earns1985]

So only good thing for us not Ayuso owners here. He isn´t scheduled to race anymore in march!

Bad thing is, that his april schedule looks pretty stacked with Itzulia (Vingegaard, Evenepoel and Roglic are also scheduled), Ardennes classic and Romandie. Well at least he will face good competition there. (So not a Hirschi 2023 schedule)

Broken collarbone for Wilco

yeah, just read about it, but he probably wouldn't have had a protected role for the classics anyway, and in the Giro his job is to help Kooij to make it over the climbs. So point wise, I doubt it makes too much of a difference.

Thats good for us Ayuso-owners since he could score way more from GC, rather than doing 1.1 one-day races.

And in the Ardennes there are many points up for grabs.

Fixed !

 

[jsem94]

I have Ayuso, Arensman, Del Toro among others and barely improved this week. So disappointed in my draft lol

 

[Anderis]

This is going to be a very fruitful week as I have 6 riders who have finished inside top7 in GC of either P-N or T-A.

1082 points to be precise.

Despite the fact, I don't think I have any chance of finishing inside top3 this year. Pretty much all of my good picks are popular picks and most of the teams that share those picks with me have at least one good pick that I don't.

 

[RedheadDane]

Who knows, maybe this is the week you get to have a rider in profit.

It's march 12th and Pogacar has only 220 points. If we extrapolate his current scoring rate to the end of the year, he will score about 1100 points which is less than a third of his 2023 total. Is he washed ? Discuss.

If he will, i'll pick him next year

Averaging 220 points per race day though. We will see.

Imagine if he keeps that up and scores some 13 000 points this year.

MvdP is on pace for zero points this year. Already on my shortlist for next year's CQ game, but I'm worried that maybe his lack of results so far means he's washed.

We should start a 'first impression/small sample size' game where we pick next year's team by the end of March.

Do we get a DQ if we choose a team that has too many points by the end of the year? Or will this be based on points the riders have at the end of March?
