Youth CQ Ranking Game 2016

[LaFlorecita]

So - the deadline has passed and I've processed all teams. Currently there are 49 teams and skidmark has asked if he can submit his team a little while later - most likely before the 2nd deadline - so we should get to 50 I am still waiting for 1 person to adjust their team.

I submitted mine at about the same time you posted this message! Yeah I just had to focus on getting the main game stuff updated as much as possible before concentrating on submitting a team. Thanks for the patience flo.

[LaFlorecita]

This is my team, basically it's the first 15 riders I came across that fit into a 1000 point budget I'm not expecting much but then again, in my first year playing the youth game I came second and didn't put much thought into it either

GAVIRIA RENDON Fernando 151
HOELGAARD Daniel 126

BOHLI Tom 84

[togo95]

Wow, I didn't expect my team to be so unique. However, apart from Gaviria I don't think I missed anyone I would include instead. How could I miss Gaviria is beyond me though. I have him in the main game, but didn't even consider him for the youth game I must have thought he was with Etixx for the whole last season or something. Usually I am at the other side of the popularity chart, so I welcome the change.

Anyway, my team with 5! unique picks (marked with an asterisk):

MÜHLBERGER Gregor 202
ORAM James 100
HAIG Jack 96
HÖÖG Gustav* 95
VAN DER POEL Mathieu 93
SCHLEGEL Michal* 93
KÄMNA Lennard 89
TUREK Daniel* 73
DUNBAR Eddie 59
HERKLOTZ Silvio 52
SCHACHMANN Maximilian 25
KASPERKIEWICZ Przemyslaw* 17
MÜLLER Patrick* 3
ALAPHILIPPE Bryan 1
BOUHANNI Rayane 0

 

[LaFlorecita]

Some things that caught my attention:
Postmanhat's very British team
Arb/Ferminal finding Ilnur's little brother
Snccdcno picking an unknown Iranian
Karaev1 selecting a rider that already scored points (that's right, we already have a leader)
Guilherme Ribeiro initially sending in a 12 rider team worth under 400 points after some encouragement from my side he hesitantly picked 3 expensive riders to fill up his team

 

[rote_laterne]

And here's my team:

BERNAL GOMEZ Egan Arley
BOHLI Tom
BONNAMOUR Franck
CALMEJANE Lilian
COSTA Adrien
EENKHOORN Pascal
FOSS Tobias Svendsen
GAVIRIA RENDON Fernando
HAIG Jack
HERKLOTZ Silvio
KÄMNA Lennard
MÜHLBERGER Gregor
OOMEN Sam
TOLHOEK Antwan
WELTEN Bram

heavy on the very young zero pointers but could very well be a good team. As I noticed for the emerging riders game I missed some italian riders but I'm happy anyway. I would have sought that Bohli is more popular.

 

[MADRAZO]

My team:

OOMEN Sam 185 (the pick I was most in doubt about, could have gone with riders like Moscon also instead, but I think Oomen should get more chances right away for himself, and the dutch talents also just tends to start out strong as pros)
GAVIRIA RENDON Fernando 151 (obvious)
HAIG Jack 96 (huge talent, certain at the price and also in my main team)
KÄMNA Lennard 89 (huge potential and the qualities to make many points, was afraid to leave him out)
MARTIN Guillaume 61 (big talent and should get a lot of chances for himself, even if the calender might not be perfect)
VAN ROOY Kenneth 59 (certain, huge talent and a great chance of points with Topsport, also in my main game cq-team)
MERLIER Tim 56 (good solid sprinter, could be very good, surpriced he is a unique pick)
CALMEJANE Lilian 52 (a bit of a joker, strong rider and like my nearmiss-pick R. Cardis did a very strong season in the french amateur scene, could be good)
HERKLOTZ Silvio 52 (certain pick at the price)
CONTRERAS PINZON Rodrigo 50 (huge potential, doubtfull if it will be already this year but could be good)
LAMMERTINK Steven 46 (a solid time trial, and some potential besides that, should always guarantee some points)
FARAZIJN Maxime 39 (solidt talent that should do well with Topsport, also in my main cq-team)
TUSVELD Martijn 34 (unique pick that I only included to fit the young continental rider "encouragement"-criteria, hopefully he can step up and dominate in the u23 races)
GADAY OROZCO Lucas Manuel 28 (certain pick at the price, I expect him too do quite well)
GONÇALVES Domingos Andre Maciel 0 (surpriced he is a unique pick after his twinbrothers season this year, Andre has also some of the same potential as the brother and should be expected to also step up joining him at Caja Rural)

For the expensive rider I also seriosuly considdered the two wild cards Woods and Skujins for my team. Im quite surpriced and a bit relieved no one has picked any of those.

 

[skidmark]

This is me - my strategy was to put a team together quickly so I could get back to processing main game entries. That worked great two years ago, not so well last year. We will see about this year. Seriously, I took guys that were on my longlist for the main game and configured them until it made sense. If I put someone on and second guessed it, I shrugged and left him on.

I see Jorday Kerby in the list as a unique pick, he is not a first year pro (pro since 2014). Dont know who picked him though as I cannot open the spreadsheet (nothing to do with the spreadsheet everything to do with my laptop )

 

[TheGreenMonkey]

oops

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Here's my team. I didn't spend very much time on it and looking at it now, I'm not really very confident in it.

I had only a few certain picks:

GAVIRIA RENDON Fernando
MOSCON Gianni
DE PLUS Laurens
HAIG Jack
MARTINELLI Davide
HERKLOTZ Silvio

These are all in my main game team as well so they were very obvious picks for me. The rest of my team is:

POLITT Nils
BOHLI Tom
GUERREIRO Ruben Antonio Almeida
LAMMERTINK Steven
MAISON Jérémy
EDMONDSON Alexander
LUNKE Sindre Skjøstad
RYBALKIN Aleksey
VAN HOOYDONCK Nathan

Lammertink I was pretty confident in as he was one I considered for the main game as well. I then started looking for cheap riders to fill in. Lunke, Rybalkin and Van Hooydonck are all fine talents and very cheap. Guerreiro is a bit more expensive but he's quite a big talent and can definitely improve on last year's season. I then probably made a mistake of not including Kämna, but he's just so young so I thought he might not score that much. Instead I went for Politt and Bohli who are big talents in my opinion. Maison and Edmondson I really don't know much about. They just went in because I've heard a bit about them and needed two more riders.

Looking at my team now, I would have liked to swap Politt for Kämna and find room for Bouhanni and Ciccone. The former I totally forgot about and the latter I never considered but he seems like a very good pick.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Re:

Yeah working on it

 

[laarsland]

Dangit, second place in both least popular team and unique picks. Hoping Luis Lemus finally will light it up for Sagan's team - hope he's not forced to domestique for Dan Craven.

 

[fauniera]

I'm quite surprised that i am the only one with Baska. He is quick and has a good race program (Langkawi!).

I wonder who the other guy is who picked Brkic.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Simply select 18 of these (or any other rider who has a lifetime total of less than 200 CQ points) and watch them soar or fail from now to the end of 2018. No complicated budget juggling, any 18 eligible riders can make up your team.

 

[LaFlorecita]

I'm quite surprised that i am the only one with Baska. He is quick and has a good race program (Langkawi!).

I wonder who the other guy is who picked Brkic.

Brkic was also selected by Leadbelly (a Velorooms poster)

 

[GP Blanco]

Funny to observe I have the 'most popular' team. I did not do anything special to select my team. It is basically my elegible part of my CQ team longlist. I have one unique pick, Robin Carpenter. I hope he will have some decent GC results (top-20) in the American stage races.

 

[rote_laterne]

I'm competing with the youngest team (as Mellow Velos rider BANASZEK Alan is listed as 0 years old), starting next week:

Tour de San Luis (2.1)
BONNAMOUR Franck

 

[skidmark]

Dion Smith with 18 points already! I bet I'm somewhere near the leaderboard, as there haven't been any races and no one else has scored.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Dion Smith with 18 points already! I bet I'm somewhere near the leaderboard, as there haven't been any races and no one else has scored.

Armchair has Tom Scully who also scored a few points, and a few have James Oram.
But - Karaev1 picked Makhchoun who scored 26 in Egypt. So he probably leads!
But the first update will be next week, there will be an update every 2 weeks, with the help of a few others (not that much will change, there aren't many races this week.)
