Are there any non-Seixas teams in the top 50?

Are there any non-Seixas teams in the top 50?

Three teams - Berflamand, Wvv and Shakes.

I wouldn't be surprised if Seixas hits 2500 points this season.

Broken wrist for Finn.
Broken collarbone for Hirschi.

 

[Berflamand]

Seixas doing Seixas things (might be time to start a second classification for the non-Seixas team). Some French dude piling on classics points in a comeback year (first Laporte now Cosnefroy). A rare pick (Finn) in a promising position crashing out. 2026 in a nutshell.

Mauro Schmid pretty much guaranteeing his place in the collective ignorance team by mid April was not on my bingo card (but then I guess it was not on anyone else's either).

Yes please, looks like I'm first in that ranking!

 

[Shakes]

Yes please, looks like I'm first in that ranking!

I have 300 points to catch up.

I am mostly thinking about the past. A long long time ago when I was fourth. Before Seixas properly started. I can't root for him anymore. Ruining this game.

I am contemplating making a non Seixas ranking. Only sounds fair. Well, to me.

So, according to Shakes' site I have scored more than anyone this last 7 days. 1078 points. It still only just moves me into the top 50 mind.

Feel for Lorenzo Finn. Hopefully his young bones will knit quickly.

with seixas instead of girmay youd have been 12th in the ranking

Hirschi is rapidly moving up the ranks of my worst ever picks in this game.

I was right to be concerned when I saw that only 6 people had picked him.

Seixas is actually leading the CQ ranking for this year. Insane stuff, but of course it helps that Pogi has only raced four times.

As the season goes on, I would be interested in a list of highest-scoring and most profitable unique picks. Aside from competing for the win (something I don't have the team to do), it seems that the main joy in the game this year for me will be making a couple of good picks that nobody else thought about.

It is a shame that nobody picked izagirre.
