***Official 2025 Pro Cycling Thread*** - This year a Grand Prize!!! (1 Viewer)

Vingegaard is going to cost me. Currrently 24th overall in the Stage race standings and had some other things break my way. Dude just pussed out because he didn't want to ride for Mateo in the rain. Guaranteed CampNArts would have saddled up.
 
Next Races:

3/19/25: Milano-Torino (Superclassico Fantasy Sixes - one day race)

3/22/25: Milano-Sanremo (Superclassico Fantasy Sixes - one day race)

3/24/25: Volta a Catalunya (Stage Race Championships - 7 Stages)

Entries are not open yet for any of the above. Usually open 1-2 days prior.
 
Peacock needs someone with that app open talking to the commentators - they kept telling us Almeida was in the group 6 minutes back, but he was in the group 1.5 minutes back.
 
Are you guys adding any Femmes?
Doubtful, although I’ve submitted teams here and there, mostly due to boredom. The women’s races are really dominated by a handful of top tier riders. With that being said, I’d be in if we did. Lol
 
Perfect race. Breakaway succeeded on an uphill finish. Also I got to pretend those guys were just being soft in 35 degree rain while I was still in bed.

That companion site is pretty great.

It was a pretty boring stage imo. I think everyone but the break mailed it in. I know this race has history, but racing at plus 5000 geet in March is stupid.

Seems like a good setup for a rider from Boise.

Swift.

A team that I might have picked. I th8nk that’s 100 points. I tried not to look at points scored.

1154 points. Good for last.
 
@Sand - what’s our method for calculating the scores of the inobservant?
Before or after the flogging?

I figure 75th percentile, so 5/7 or 6/8, etc. Just my thought.

at the end of the stage race? or for each stage?

so for Tirreno-Adriatic, 5 out of 7 played, so they get the 5th place score? or they receive the last place score each day?
I'm not that dedicated. I figure just 5/7 overall, etc. I figure anyone in this group who finishes last should not have their accomplishment stolen from them. Right?

I think i'm not following.

What score are we giving the two missing players? I don't know how to interpolate 5th out of 7 when there are two unknowns. Do you mean they should have be tied for 5th, e.g., four scores above them - but they still outscore the last place team?

scores for Tirreno-Adriatico

5th 1178
4th 1513
3rd = 1536
2nd = 1771
1st =1990

percentile formula is
P = n/N
where n is the number of scores in the dataset and N is the total number of scores in the dataset

0 percentile = 1178
25th percentile = 1513
50th percentile = 1536
75th percentile = 1771
100th percentile = 1990

You said give them 75th percentile, so ADD +1771 for Tirreno-Adriatico, that gives them 2nd and 3rd place overall when we include Paris-Nice
If we give them 25th percentile, ADD +1513, would also be 2nd and 3rd place overall
If we give them the last place points, ADD +1178, after Round 2 Da Raiders would be 3rd and Jaysus 5th

Just from an equity view, I don't think we should reward anyone for not submitting a team.

(though in this case there was nothing strategic, they just didn't know there was another race or didn't check in.)

Last place points seems the fairest way to resolve this instance IMO but I'm open to being persuaded if that seems unjust to anyone.
 
At the end of each Stage Race Contest, just make the unentered teams equal to the last place team that submitted an entry. No calculations involved. Seems like it would be the easiest way to do it.
 
That was some beautiful scenery today. I liked the overhead view of climbing on switchbacks that showed the physical gaps rather than just time gaps - interesting to see how 14 seconds can be so close on such a steep climb.

Jorgensen attacking just for fun was cool.

That's one of the things I enjoy most about watching these races, the scenery. That castles, the medieval towns, etc. Just so different than the United States.

The racing is fun too.

Magnus Sheffield and Matteo Jorgenson finish 1-1 on the Stage today. Jorgenson wins GC, Sheffield finish 17 seconds short of a podium finish in 4th. McNulty was in the Top 10 before today but abandoned mid stage. Will Barta finished 19th on the stage and 15th overall, while Neilson Powless finished 29th on the stage and 31st overall.

Not a bad showing by the Americans.

Funny that our top two American finishers here are named Matteo and Magnus - the US is cool.

Yes, San Remo is a sixes race.

Catalunya on the 24th is where Paris-Nice was. It’s one of the Stage Races.
