Very happy to have won the Volta a Portugal. I was awful in Poland and will probably struggle in the Autumn Classics and Benelux campaigns.
Congrats Kalach and thanks clamel!

Only fitting to have Gustavovskiy claim the win in Volta a Portugal!  Congratulations both to him and Kalach on the Poland win. Also cool to see both go very high in the overall standings for those races.
Happy to be "up there" in both, PCM Daily league wise Let's see what we can make for BinckBank then. Had forgot that was a Velogames game, and 10 minutes are all there is left before the deadline. Mistakes will be made  |

Congratz all! Portugal a reinar a Grandissima. 
Two fourth places, nice. Going Arsenal this season. Shame what happened with Bjorg kinda overshadowed the Poland game, though. Nevertheless I am still here for Binck Bank and let’s see if I can retain my (lucky) title from 2018. |

Thank you guys for your congratulations I am happy to win sth else than Tour de Romandie which I won twice. I was already close in some races and this finally worked out. Its just a very sad that it was overshadowed by that tragic accident 
Congratulations to Gustavovoskyi on his win as well as I see from other posts because I have no idea how it is going there since I missed my random team in that event 
Good luck for Binckbank tour guys. Btw @Ian Russel interesting team. Curious to see how it will work out.
Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.

Just to echo the congratulations to the Poland and Portugal winners.
@Kalach was going to go with Dupont and Bauhaus too at one point, with all the flat stages, and see how it balanced with the overall, classic stages and the short TT. In the end I moved a little away from all out sprint but not by much! Time was short making the picks too as was mid holiday at the time.

League table updated following Poland and Portugal.
Congrats to Kalach and Gustavovskiy for their wins and bonus points. Bonus points in Poland too for Banesi and Emre.
Overall Ember has extended his lead to 50ish points from Clamel and Ian. Freitas in 4th is probably too far back baring an incredible finish to the season, and a bit of a capitulation from Ember.
By My calculations there are 6 games left this season (4 Mens and 2 Womens races) so in theory there are still plenty of points for it to all changes. However Ember's form doesn't seem to be showing any sign of trailing off at this late stage of the season. If he hadn't missed Paris Nice it would probably already be over.

Bit of a weird start at the BinckBank Tour. Can't be very often you have the winner of the stage, two in the top ten and 6 out of 9 riders scoring points and still are dead last in the PCM Velogames League.

The level is too good on this forum. I am regularly in the top 20/25% of the overall games, but usually just mid table in the Velogame league. |

League table has been updated. Congrats to ember on his win to move him onto 4 individual race wins and to extend his lead to second to 59 points.
Ian has overtaken Clamel to go second, with Freitas a distant 4th overall.
It's going to take something special, like an overall victory at the Vuelta, for Ian or Clamel to catch ember at this stage.
The Vuelta is now open for entries by the way.

Thank you! Don't know what's going on this season, having never won a race in the Daily league before, and suddenly there has been four of them.
Quite impressive to see the season championship standings as well, where PCM Daily got three in the top 5. Would be fun if we somehow can unsettle "Pollus" at the very top, eventhough it might prove difficult seeing the big lead he has got.
And also thank you for your quick update, ringo! |

Well done Ember, another amazing season!
I was 37th overall in Eneco (top 1.5%)...only good enough for 5th in our 20 strong mini league! You are all too good, go home!
Might have been tight in terms of holding on if either Demare had done anything all race or Hirshci had held on for a double podium on that last stage. Too much looking at each other between Wellens and Hirschi perhaps, though no one was hanging around, to be fair.

Congrats, ember.
On another note, aren’t we supposed to have another women’s cycling game this week? |

Congratulations @ember. What a performamce with your 4th win.

Btw Its very tough competition in our pcm league.

Well done ember.
You're running away with the overall and I have lost my form.
I take it Ladies Tour of Norway is on for us, so this week will be busy.

Again, Angel Lopez as a all-rounder really is bugging my system to choose a nice overall team. |

I was just wondering if women velogames races should not be counted against PCMdaily velogames championships from next season.
Or if it would not be a better to create a separate league for these kind of races.
I do not know what do you guys think, but I think it is inconsistent because not everybody is interested in playing women races and hence it can distort the overall results. Also for me mixing men and women races together does not make so much sense. But yeah well, its just my opinion.
