The 2025 CQ Ranking Manager Thread

[Netserk]

At this rate Morgado will be into profit by the end of next month, LOL.

Only Friday is really good for him this week though.

I just realized after there being hilly stages in both Mallorca and AlUla Tour today that tomorrow the best sprinters will almost all compete, but in 3 different races. There is the Surf Cost Classic, a sprint stage in AlUla Tour and a sprint race on Mallorca.

Feeling better about having Christen now. A bit concerned with another Kron DNF, but I won't be alone there I guess.

. A bit concerned with another Kron DNF, but I won't be alone there I guess.

It was mentioned in danish TV that got a text from his girlfriend, that Kron had crashed out, so I guess it could be even worse than if it was just bad form. But definetly some wasted chances of points for him now. Hopefully its not too bad.

Lund surfed right along the coast to get the the picnic of a win.

Pretty sure she's his wife. Especially since they referred to her by the name 'Kron'...

BTW, I'm pretty 78th - not counting the points from SCC, so I might realistically be lower again now - is the highest I've been in the rankings of this game.

(Not counting before we all got points. Being ranked higher because your usename comes first alphabetically doesn't count.)

First win of the season for my team! Maybe Andresen will score in Cadel Race too

Pretty sure you are right then!

Rigoberto Urán Urán wants a word.

Rigoberto Urán Urán wants a word.

Dunno how common a surname Uran is in Colombia.
Pretty sure Kron is quite a rare name in Denmark.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Maybe Kron is the new Mohammed Anas.

Andreas Kron Kron?

 

[Shakes]

Eekhof hit a pole in Al-Ula. One of my picks (only @Wvv is him as well). It hurts even more when the riders is in your CQ team than normally!

 

[RedheadDane]

Good news for everyone who has Kron.
He's okay. Was out training today.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Penny for @Squire 's thoughts upon seeing Hatherly survive the echelons today while Dunbar didn't.

 

[repre]

With all sadness we can confirm that Fabio Jakobsen was found dead (in CQ terms) today at the roads of the Saudi Arabia. Our condolences and prayers for his fantasy managers and those who thought he has something left in him. But cheer up, at least you are not paying him 3 mln euros for sitting up the sprint behind real fight.

 

[Panda Claws]

The time of the year where you see people farm points while none of your riders even seem to participate.

I prefer really not to speak. If I speak I am in big trouble.

 

[tobydawq]

Ya, Hatherly is not a name I even heard of before. Maybe a good idea to have a look at MTB and riders crossing over for this game. Might be an expensive oversight.

I had Sam Gaze a few years ago but he couldn't make a dent on the road stage. It's very hard to predict such things.

 

[repre]

No THJ for tomorrow race. I'm bit worried now

 

[Wvv]

Eekhof hit a pole in Al-Ula. One of my picks (only @Wvv is him as well). It hurts even more when the riders is in your CQ team than normally!

Broken jaw, further checkup in the Netherlands to decide if he needs surgery. Might miss the classics season.

SIgh.

My team has definitely kept its farming equipment in the shed.

Indeed. I ignored the evidence of my own eyes and convinced myself that it was impossible for him to go from being a multiple grand tour sprint stage winner to being this rubbish two years in a row. Sadly looks I was in wishful thinking mode.

 

[Squire]

Pidcock's program looks pretty good. Now that he has been freed from being on squire's team I think he can finally achieve his potential and have a 2000 points season.

Man, Almeida better have a giga season.

Not loving how things are going so far. Van Baarle broken collarbone, Kron crash, Plapp surgery, Kamp in the gruppetto, Vine not great form, Tulett not recovered enough to race yet, Dunbar somehow not podiuming this race, Hatherly looking great.

 

[repre]

Plapp surgery

WTF???

 

[ingsve]

Now suddenly Vandenaabele has learnt to ride a bike again after all of last year when he was woefully inept.
