Mollema out for Yates was a good call right?

Congratulations to @ember for his Autumn classic win and I guess PCM daily overall as well .
I am 3rd in Autumn Classic again after last year. I was improving towards the end but the few races at the start where I was only average ruined my chance to challenge for the first place. In these kind of races it is important to start well otherwise it is hard to catch up.
Congratulations to @Freitas for second place as well.
Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.

Ouch, fell from 3rd to 7th in the last race. Tried to do something different from everyone else because doing the same thing just guarantees me 3rd and I figured I had nothing to lose... and failed spectacularly. Congrats Ember, well played all season, again.

Congratulations Ember, great way to close out another overall win!
Completed the 2nd place double with second in the season long all Velogames teams league too, becoming a real habit. At least I was within 100 of our PCM points of Ember, made me feel better after finishing a whole two thousand Velogames points behind the season winner on Velogames 
Thanks again to Ringo for another enjoyable season too

Thank you, everyone!
Must admit the Autumn Classics win was a surprise, as I thought FreitasPCM had made all his transfers when I checked our teams, but apparently he had two transfers left. And bringing in Valverde and Formolo instead of Bernal and Fuglsang only did me a favour. Had he kept his team as it was, he would have won the Daily league for the Autumn Classics, which makes it feel more like a lucky win than anything else! |

Great year and my congrat to ember for taking home the bacon.
IanRussell as 2nd, so I feel like a winner. Those two are just impossible in another division. At least I had my best season, also with a couple of wins in races ending up getting back on top of ind. wins, tied with IanRussell.
ember you really struck it big in individual wins this year, from alsmot none earlier.
IanRussell so close to win Season Champ in VG and ember even in the lead for some time during the year. Pcmdaily showed strength.
I was thrilled to even held 3rd place for awhile, but still finish in the top20. We are looking at +20,000 teams.
Thanks Ringo for holding together this fantastic league. Hope you will go for next year too. Chapeau mate.

Congratulations Ember on winning the league.
Glad that I had a very good end to the season (being on holiday and forgot to change my team for at least 3 races), I also made 12 changes for the World Championships and scored... 40 points!!! Thankfully, I then had some good scores in the Italian races and a good Lombardy to go from 18th to 11th overall.
Really enjoyed this again this year so thanks to Ringo for organising it. |

Ahaha cheers, ember, sometimes the best tactic is not to change but I had to try with my two transfers left, nevertheless it was a good competition overall. |

The final league table has been updated.
Congratulations to Ember on retaining the overall title. He rounded off the season with a very impressive 5th individual race win of the year. Could have been even more if he remembered to enter the Paris-Nice.
The top 3 is rounded up by Ian and Clamel, who did very well to run ember as close as they did. Frietas finishes a fairly distant 4th, while Kalach jumped into the top 5 with an impressive top 10 overall finish in the Autumn classics.
I guess that's it for another season. I'll probably send some polls out through the winter to see if people are happy with the current format or want to hold the men's/women's races separately. I see George seems to be planning on adding more women's races next year. I guess I'll see you all in January for the Tour Down Under.
