Probably only because he's down to ride Romandie, which means even more points for him. I don't feel like a lot of mercy has been bestowed upon me.

Little Lenny is the first of my more expensive riders into profit. What a pick he is turning out to be.
I did have him last year .... he's repaying loyalty.

Not many points from last week, but a feeling is that it might have been similar for many teams. A few might have gained more than the majority.
After a slow week points wise it is always nice that new races are on the horizon.
Tour of the Alps
HIGUITA Sergio
TIBERI Antonio
LEEMREIZE Gijs
La Flèche Wallonne
CARAPAZ Richard
RYAN Archie
TURNER Ben
BUSATTO Francesco
COLLEONI Kevin
AYUSO Juan
Startlist pretty incomplete, so more could hopefully be added.
Liège - Bastogne - Liège
PICCOLO Andrea
CARAPAZ Richard

TIBERI Antonio

Update #13: No More Doubting Thomas
In a week that saw the 2.1 Giro D'Abruzzo as the only stage race and a trio of Coupe de France races offer triple points to riders with the races being contested by the same top guys, the Amstel Gold Race was the highlight. Thomas Pidcock won it after losing in a photo finish to Van Aert a few years back (or actually winning it if you ask him), netting 220 points for the 7 teams that took a swing on him this year. No surprise that the winner of the week was one of the seven.
This Week's Top Scorers
Amis Velo is the only team to clear 500 points this week, taking a comfortable win thanks to the aforementioned Pidcock, but also great weeks from Benoit Cosnefroy (151, 16) and David Gaudu (120, 2), which pretty much did it for the win, aside from a few 5 and 10 pointers. Shakes winds up in 2nd place thanks to Pidcock, points machine Lenny Martinez (170, 11), and a bit from Marco Brenner (35, 16), while Lortnoc gets the final spot on the podium thanks to Pidcock/Martinez as well.
This Week's High Movers
The standings are flipped around a little in this ranking, with manafana taking first after ending in 4th on the Top Scorers list. Their team moves up 11 spots due mainly to Cosnefroy, and significant help from Mauri Vansevenant (96, 24) and Harm Vanhoucke (77, 7). Lortnoc doubles up in 2nd, tying with Rakim in moving up 8 spots.
Green Jersey Competition
Shakes moves into the top 5 of this ranking, parlaying 35 points from 2nd on the week into a spot on the overall podium here. No other top 5 teams scored weekly points this week.
Top 10 Overall
There may be no difference in the top 2 spots, but that masks the fact that shalgo gained 222 points on 2nd place this week, expanding their lead to almost 900 points over 2nd place and over 1000 to 3rd. Last week's winner adamski101 moves onto the podium, while lower down Lortnoc enters the top 10 at the expense of JPettersen.
This week sees the Ardennes continue, as well as the Tour of the Alps, before we see the last spring Monument on Sunday and get closer to Grand Tour season.

Programming note: I will be in transit to my seasonal remote work site next week - I will post next week's update when I can but it may be a bit later than usual. After next week, EvansIsTheBest will be taking over the updates through the end of June while I am more limited in my internet access.

Okay, what kind of job do you have that includes a seasonal remote work site?
Alpaca-shepherd? Or would that just be an alpacaherd?
I plant trees in the Canadian wilderness.
That would likely be a very boring job.
Please note that, despite what CQ tries to claim, Kron did indeed finish.

Dunno why some places seem determined to mix him up with Berckmoes.
I want my points!

Kron reagerer på vildt Fléche Wallonne og ser frem mod Liége
Andreas Kron var en af de kun 44 ryttere, der gennemførte gårsdagens vanvittige Fléche Wallonne. Til et pressemøde reagerer han på løbet og kigger lidt frem mod søndagens monument Liége-Bastogne-Liége.

Unfortunately, you need to have an account to do so.
Yeah, I know I should have done this immediately. I ended up simply sending a mail. Also seems more direct that writing in a random forum.

some of my single-digit popular picks in THJ, Sosa and Rondel doing well so far this week .
Juanpe shoving the words of his idiot manager down his throat. Presumably he'll be the team leader at the Giro now that Ciccone is out for Lidl? Let's hope the weather is terrible.
With apologies to those have him, also looked like I was really going to regret not choosing Foss after stage one. Still think he'll end up being at least, a very solid pick though.
Rondel was nice and tidy this week for me alongside his and my leader for the race Storer. Aaron Gate already into profit is nice as well.
My riders for the coming week:
Asgreen
Gudnitz
Jørgesen
Kron
Price-Pejtersen
Søjberg
Valgren
+ the quintet already starting Turkey today.

I've been distracted a bit (read: Not looking at this CQ Game). I see the website (https://www.savius.at/CQGame/cqgame.php?page=Ranking) has still been ticking along nicely (which is good! As I neglected it). Has it been useful to anyone? Any suggestions for improvement/changes or anything else? I'll have a look at this again later this week if there is anything to improve! Will have some time to play again with the code. 
I use it a lot! I do think the weekly change tab would be more useful if it compared to the start of the week rather than to 7 days ago, though.I've been distracted a bit (read: Not looking at this CQ Game).
