This means that SSJ2Luigi manages to keep his lead and wins the game! Congratulations! Matt17br finishes only one point behind, good job! Marcovdw finishes another two points down, after some good rounds in the end. Actually no changes in the overall standings, the five guys who answered seriously in all five rounds all finish top five.

Round 1 - PCMdaily
1. Name a multiple "I'm with Stupid winner"

1x knockout
1x Bikex

Spoiler 4x Fant. Neutral Story
1x Project2100
1x Hemisphere Cycling Competion
1x The Members Story
3. Name a story from a story writer that won the title "Story writer of the year"
even though Ian Butler never won the story writer of the year award, that didn't stop people from sending his stories in. 5 of the total 7 anwsers were Ian Butler stories. 2010 SWotY Squire's Tour de France story and 2013 SWotY MreSuperstars The Comeback were the only correct answers.
Spoiler 3x A day in the life
1x The Comeback
1x The Two of us
1x A Tale of Two
1x Tour de France '07
4. Name a forum game (excluding I'm with Stupid)
Forum game of the year "Elite of Professional Internatial Cycling" got the most nominations. current forum ongoing game Big Brother got named once. same with two different editions of MARSU's Risk-like game and Rate the band above you.

1x Big Brother
1x Capture the World with your Pro Cycling Manager (3rd edition for the second time)
1x Rate the band above you
1x Capture the World with your Pro Cycling Manager
5. Name a Milan San Remo Fantasy Betting head to head
unsurprisingly, the biggest head to head took the spoils. Kristoff v Sagan was named 5 times. Rojas vs Ciolek and Haussler vs Hofland were named once.
Spoiler 5x Kristoff v Sagan
1x Rojas Gil v Ciolek
1x Haussler v Hofland
no perfect round for anybody but baseballlover312 and Marcovdw both score the most points. 16 for both. matt17br achieves the 5 pointer.

nah, pretty sure you've won a couple rounds before you went hipster and went for correct 5-pointers but like many people sending in, I didn't care enough to check
