The 2024 CQ Ranking Manager Thread

[RedheadDane]

Yes, really don't know what he did wrong last year and what happened during the winter, that he even in the one race where Jakobsen doesn't ride, he also isn't allowed to go for his own chance.. what a waste..

To be fair, he might simply not have had the legs.
He was already allowed to go for his own chance on stage 5 of P-N. And I read and article on Feltet.dk where he said he'd be getting his chance at TdS.

So, for today I guess my money is on...
Kragh will be riding in support of VDP, and might still be bothered by his knee.
Asgreen and Pedersen will probably be riding in support of Alaphilippe.
Valgren, maybe, or Kamp...
I suppose my money is on as many of my guys as possible finishing.

Alaphilippe has no shape at all, so I wouldn't think there's full focus on him. But it's not like Asgreen or Pedersen looked any good either recently...

So it must be Moscon who gets the points for QS, I guess

 

[Netserk]

I think Asgreen looked quite decent in Omloop before his crash, even if he was caught behind the split in the front group as he was sitting way too far back before Wolvenberg.

yeah, but he said that he was suffering from the crash in the races after, so I'd think he is a bit behind now. Same for Alaphilippe, although probably more than a bit in his case

Bit late since game is well under way but what about a polka dot jersey? Similar point distribution as green jersey but then awarded based on who improved the most in terms of rank. Of course there is quite some similarity as the game doesn't have many dimensions (it's all based on points) but in theory the players with less overlap in riders are likely to win due to higher variance in their points versus the mean.

Green jersey already has this to some extent but based on ranks it will be more likely won by those middle or low in rankings compared to Green Jersey.

Hey, @Shakes and @skidmark.
Would it be possible to have the link to the website in an easily available spot?

Dunno what that is.
Guess I can teach my computer to remember the url address when I start typing.

Never had the need.

Capiot missing cobbled season with broken collarbone.

He was scoring points and is on my Tutankhamun team, so that was inevitable.

Fair play to anyone who selected Van Gils. After 5 (FIVE) race days he's already on 345 and more than 50%. Would love to have a rider like that to follow. Thought it would be Johannessen, but he is, of course, injured.

Never had the need.

Never wrong to learn something new and find better ways.

No one actually have him, at least not in the main game.

Thanks. That makes me feel a little bit better. Could be this season's Adam Yates, who I think no one selected last year?

I've already found a way to make it work.

If you're using Chrome, there's a star symbol next to the address bar. Click on that, and you'll have a nice little bookmark to be displayed below the address bar.

For once, I have to admit I use the same lousy method as RhD

Anyway, Bettiol already handily into profit. I guess he is my best pick of this season even though I was memed a bit for repicking him.

But still way too many underperfomers.

 

[Netserk]

I currently have 41 bookmarks on my toolbar and probably between 600 and 1000 bookmarks in total.

Does anyone have Tom Van Asbroeck?

Had Bettiol when he won Flanders, easily one of the best moments in the game for me. He can be exciting but frustrating as well. He has talent to win more races than he does...

 

[RedheadDane]

Well, all my guys finished MSR. The QS boys even managed to get into the bigger points.

Eh, could be a week where one fall behind a bit.

As expected, not much happened points-wise here for me.

Probably some teams who might have had a great week thanks to close to unique picks, I think.
