It's been quite some time since doing well in a Velogames League.
The Tour de Suisse though went above any expectations. I realized that my picks went better and better with every stage but it's nice to read, you have won the ranking on the official Velogames Twitter.
Must admit, the DNS of Alaphilippe obviously helped as all with him in the team faded strongly in the end. |

Was about to say that, congratulations, roturn!
A great team selection overall, Uran was a really great gamble given the lack of racing, plus Cattaneo for 8 points was also a great choice.
Must say I didn't have the time to build a decent team so I just picked some guys I hoped would do well (guess I shouldn't have trusted in Dennis ) |

Wow, Roturn congrats! I'm still riding the high from being 3rd in Dauphine 2014. I don't think I've finished in the top half of a race since.
RIP Exxon Duke, David Veilleux, Double Feature, and Monster Energy

Big congratulations to Roturn for winning the overall Velogames for the Tour de Suisse and as a result, he obviously won the PCM.Daily game, ahead of Peadar O'Murchu and Lord di Lego.
In the overall table, thanks to his 50 points (including 25 for the overall win), Roturn shoots up the table and finds himself in the, as we say in France, soft belly (mid table) of the leaderboard. Thanks to his second place in the game, Peadar O'Murchu makes the most of Wyman and FreitasPCM's mid table finishes to become the new leader with a 12 points lead on Wyman and 14 on FreitasPCM. |

Must admit I was very lucky with all the crashes so far.
Woods and Hirschi basically but didn't go for Ineos or Roglic and right now it's looking very good.
After the first stages I might have gone well to not have picked Hirschi and instead for Lutsenko or Vingegaard but I didn't really think about his time in the team and had last year's free role in mind. |

I can't complain. Totally surprised how well my picks went and different than expected. While I expected Mollema and Woods to go for a silent top10, they instead go for stage glory and KoM.
Cavendish was obviously a huge pick and Van Aert over Van Der Poel likely winning as well.
Pogacar as only huge GC rider might hurt in the end, that said many any for Roglic or the wrong Ineos riders, which failed even more.
Let's see how it goes. 2 races in a row that successful is a new first as usual I was in last third only. |

I can't believe to get my first win at TdF, in 4 years of failures! I never thought to be able to catch Roturn until 18th stage where Gaudu had some French pride, Cavendish pick was probably the best intuition of the race. Asgren made me crazy yesterday, fortunately Magnus Cort was quite solid too.

Congratulations @FreitasPCM for Giro Donne!
Congratulations @df_Trek and @roturn for Tour de France!
I switched from Van der Poel to Sagan at the last minute thinking that he was going for the Olympics, sacrificing Vingegaard in the process. None to blame for that but me. Still, I started rock bottom in the first stage so climbing steadily to the 8th place in the end proves satisfying. |

Congrats df-trek!
I missed the big GC riders in the end as I basically only had Pogacar.
Except for Hirschi and in parts Woods, the selection though was pretty solid, should have considered Vingegaard more though in the end as Hirschi was obvious to not have the same freedom as last year and neither the form. |

Congratulations, df_trek!
Personally, very satisfied with my 4th place given I had Roglic on my team and since Grand Tours are my Achilles Heel of Velogames. Adding to the Giro Donne win after two consecutive second places this has been a nice month of July.
Roll on the Olympics next! |

Congratulations to @df_Trek nice win. The most prestigious?
I am also happy with my first 3rd place in GT. I was just a little bit unlucky with Ewan crashing out on stage 3 :/
Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.

Firstly, congratulations to FreitasPCM for his win in the Giro Donne game ahead of DarkWolf and Clamel. As a result, he takes the lead in the Women Championship game and gets an extra 10 points for finishing in the Top 50 overall.
Secondly, congratulations to df_Trek for winning the Tour de France ahead of roturn and Kalach. And according to my records, his first ever Velogames win. With double points in play as well as bonus points for df_Trek and roturn, who finished in the top 50, these two shoot up in the table, with df_Trek just behind the top 3 and roturn comfortably in the European qualification positions.
At the top of the table, the lead changes again. After two strong performances, FreitasPCM takes the lead back from Peadar O’Murchu with Wyman in third. As mentioned above, df_Trek is now fourth. So FreitasPCM dominates the two tables for now, congrats!! |

So I basically replaced the 1-2-7 with the 10-13-49 yesterday...this was bad.
Would have had a great 1-2-3-7 otherwise. |
