Well, sounds not bad for a first guess
@Manx: Great to see it online now! Will have a closer look and feedback tomorrow.

I'm honoured to receive the first "The Sound" award and to share it with the great roturn! Also very cool to be manager of the season together with Aidan. Thanks! And a big obrigado from Nardin.
Good job on the magazine again!

Nice work Manx.
The interview with SN is the best bit - Thought the awards could have been a bit less predictable. Rothaus I feel were the team of the year in the PCT, Bpost were fairly ordinary in comparison. Just my opinion of course
Count for me edges on the reporter front - the Vuelta and Worlds were great write ups, but the quality doesn't drop elsewhere.
Anyways keep up the good work

@DD - Wasn't too hard following that season. Problem is you've got to go and do it again 
@Smowz - Not my fault awards were obvious, otherwise they'd be crap awards. I did consider Rothaus for a long time but perhaps my personal feelings for Bpost made the difference.

Hehe, yep that is a problem. I don't think I can pull this off again. I'll certainly try though.

I'm flattered to be considered the PCT squad of 2013 by... well... anyone really. Compared particularly to a squad like Tinkoff, who were just all over everyone all season.

Nice to see my mentioned in the awards. Even though I guess SN is having 99,99999% of the work and is doing it in an awesome way.
My biggest surprise was CT team of the year. I thought anything but Gazelle would be a huge huge huge surprise. Obviously not.
PCT team of the year? Tinkoff. By far imo. Except for Kritskiy they don`t have the best team neither but a great depth and PCM12 really loved Kritskiy. I can`t remember a race with them, where they weren`t doing something special.

Nice first edition, really loving it. I even tweeted (i believe i was the first except for TMM to use the hashtag? ) about it, even though i'm not fully sure why i did that and didn't just post here, so yeah, i'm doing that now.
As a suggestion for the next time, maybe you could make it a bit "bigger"? I mean just
literally make the type bigger, so that there's no need to zoom in to the document to read it.

@Dippo - The first indeed! Type size unlikely to change, because it's a standard size. If you printed it all off it would look normal, but yes you do have to zoom in to about 65-70% (hardly unreasonable)
@roturn - SN would win every single serious award if we go by that logic People seem to forget how good Iberia were at the start of the year, better than Gazelle for a while! Tinkoff i did consider, like Rothaus. But when i looked at riders and general results i counted them out for a number of reasons. It's all just motivation for next season
@Count - Be thankful i like Bpost a lot then. It was between you and Rothaus in the end.

Great read. I love these "small" additions and texts about MG, they're making this even more amazing.

Fun to read, things like this make the ManGame special. I'm not the most imaginative guy around, as my HQ might show, but I'm happy to share this game with some truly creative people.

Nice call on B-Post as the PCT team of the year. It was a strange season for them from my view. They did very well on the cobbles year, but had some bad luck or they could have done even better.
Then when you might have expected their season to slow down it never did the kept getting good results time after time. They earned their promotion and the Team of the year honor is well deserved.
It will alter the balance of power for the PCT cobble races. Several CT teams had good steady cobble showings in PCT races and they have promoted for 2014. Any one of them could jump up to the top of the PCT cobbles with one high level addition.
As many of us 2012 D2 graduates last season will confirm getting the riders you want in the PCT is not always as easy or inexpensive as you hoped.
I raise a glass of cold Belgium Ale to B-Post. Here Here !
