The 2026 CQ Ranking Manager Thread

Valgren (bumped into, I think, his brother in Zwift races a lot; lets' hope for more Amstel magic)

Unfortunately, I think those days are behind him...
I should probably be honest and admit that I mostly picked him out of nostalgia.

Im at least hoping he will go for top placing every race.

I am not sure he has a brother of his own, but I guess it's possible you have raced against his brother in-law and former teammate André Steensen.

Has anyone ever tried making an anti-CQ manager team? One where you try to pick riders who you think will under perform in the coming year so you want them to score as few points as possible.

There would have to be a very strict set of rules I imagine otherwise you just pick retired riders. So lets say if a rider retires then their score is automatically doubled just as a disincentive. I would also put the budget of the team to 15000 points since ideally you want to start higher to go low.

I'll think I'll try putting a team together to see how hard it is.

Not intentionally...
