Update #9: Subdued Week Sees Geraint Too Fast Break into top 10Even before the fears swirling around coronavirus saw races start to be cancelled, this week was always going to be a transitionary one in the CQ game, after Opening Weekend but before Paris-Nice. Still, with the cancellation of
Strade Bianche and GP Industria last weekend, the points this week were from
1.1 Le Samyn, 1.1 GP Monsere,
2.1 Tour of Taiwan, the first stage of Paris-Nice, and a few
1.2 and
2.2 races. As a result, only one team broke triple digit points on the week, but a win's a win!

Well, not much movement. And, in fact, not many points - Jakob747 had 53 points, 18-Valve had 8, and Mayomaniac had 6, while the rest of the top 10 were held scoreless. Save, of course, from GTF, whose win on the week brings their team into a tie for 10th overall.
This week - well, Paris-Nice is going to finish either on the weekend or before, and.... is Drenthe going ahead? Are any races? We shall see.
