Damn, should have had a perfect round there. unfortunately I doubled back thinking that everyone would remember Sagan's fails at the Tour. In the end it was a bad choice.
But I am happy with my round nevertheless, and the questions were perfect. They weren't hard but gave the player a choice and manipulation aspect. They reminded me of the original questions by Cunego: what they are meant to be like.
RIP Exxon Duke, David Veilleux, Double Feature, and Monster Energy

I named all the correct riders, I just didn't select them...

That's what I thought too, very good questions so far. Like trekbmc, I thought of most of the top scoring answers but chose the wrong ones in the end. Looks like another midfield finish for me coming up

No, Just the first 5:
Il Lombardia
Milano - San Remo
Paris - Roubaix
Ronde van Vlaanderen
Liege - Bastogne - Liege
The other three are just world tour classics.

21 in so far, out of 25 for Round 1.
Only one in the last day or so though, so I'll set the deadline of tomorrow evening. Say, 24 hours from now.

Round 2 - Results
1. Name a Café Pedro title (i.e. the bit that comes after the number)
The most recent Pedro Nein, Nein, Nein! dominated the answers here.
Spoiler 19x Nein, nein, nein!
1x The Ocho
1x Revenge of the Portuguese
1x Who is this Pedro Person Anyway?
1x And now for something completely different
2. Name a user who used Jens Voigt as an answer during Round 1
Top of the table in Round 1, fernando97 drew in many of the votes. Picking themselves did not particularly work for roturn, rogvi and Paul, while fernando's hopes of defending his lead were effectively ended by not going for himself here.
Spoiler 12x fernando97
3x roturn
3x baseballlover312
2x sieve
1x knockout
1x rogvi97
1x Paul23
3. Name a category from last year's Awards
Member of the Year was the top choice of 13, while Avatar of the Year was a reasonable 2nd best guess on 5.
Spoiler 13x Member of the Year
5x Avatar of the Year
1x Admin of the Year
1x Story of the Year
1x (Non-GT) Stage of the Year
1x Surprise of the Year
1x Funniest user
4. Name a stage maker, i.e. somebody who has their own PCM stages thread
The best question of the round as many could not decide between Selwink, Stylus and Margh Norway. Selwink won out in the end with 6 votes.
Spoiler 6x Selwink
5x Stylus
4x Margh Norway
1x dvdgms
1x SportingNonsense
1x roturn
1x Teken84
1x HuDCC
1x AaB-ern
1x Bikex
1x NTTHRASH
5. Name a PCM14 story (Games that are also posted in the PCM 14: Stories section do no count)
The Members Story was a clear winner.
Spoiler 12x The Members Story
3x The 1980s
2x The two of us
2x Luxembourg Lion
1x In the Pursuit of Glory
1x A Tale of Two
1x Brice Feillu- Return to Glory
1x Sinopec Craft Procycling Team
Nobody managed a perfect round as the only three who managed to get all 4 of the big answers did not manage to follow that up with the top stage maker pick. Selwink denies Selwink from getting a perfect round then, but still Selwink tops the table, just denying Marcovdw a second consecutive joint win.
SSJ2Luigi managed to place 3rd despite a 1 point answer, while MARSUPILAMI, roturn, jihardy and trekbmc are next - 4 top answers, but missing out on one of the big scorers.

Marcovdw's very strong first two rounds means he now has an 11 point lead over nearest challenger Selwink. jihardy and matt17br move up into the Top 4, while fernando97 slips to 5th.

Great. I actually considered mentioning myself at Q4, then decided the stage maker of the year would make more sense. Oh well, at least I won the round

Obviously Nein, Nein, Nein! was the right choice, just had to go with my own Cafe title Otherwise a nice round to show that i can play the gam properly if i so chose. (note picked Nein would have placed me joint 4th )

Let's roll straight on with Round 3. Should hopefully be a few less obvious answers this time!
Round 3 - Sport
1. Name an Olympic sport (Not Cycling or Football)
2. Name a team that currently plays in the English Premier League (Football)
3. Name a team that currently plays in the NFL (American Football)
4. Name a current Formula 1 team
5. Name a country who will play at next year's Rugby Union World Cup

Almost a perfect round but not reading the PCM14 forums really worked against me. Feeling ok about these questions though

I purposely botched the first one to make a point. I hate the outcome of that question.
