 They have almost lost me as customer, to gain me back with me hoping for a change and then this? - Avin Wargunnson (on the newest patch for PCM15)
Patch time
Speaking of patches, we saw three major downloads floating in this week: let's begin with Cyanide's latest update on PCM15. Patch 1.2.0.0 is the first major patch for the game and brought significant changes in several areas of PCM15. We got used to the fact, that there's some controversial content in there, didn't we?
Of course we do have to remember, that our PCMDaily DB-team came up with the first Expansion Pack 2015 v0.8! It's compatible with Cyanide's latest patch (needs to be installed before) and will definitely make for more fun in this early state of the game.
Jacky Durand once again released his Sponsorkit, that will upgrade the realism of PCM for at least another year. Go check the content and support his work.

Places to go..
We had a busy week with new PCM15 threads in several categories, with also older engines still producing interesting stuff to read:
Wilco Kelderman-The Next Climbing Star (by Taaramae1) is a new story (made for Jesleyh) worth to follow. Same goes for Daniel Martin's Tour Diary by Dippofix or Be A Pro.. in the 1980's by Zuff.
2015 Real jerseys should be the place to watch for new kits and we did see a few more stagemakers opening their 2015 threads.. The Two of Us | Chapter 2 is one of a few quality pieces to keep the PCM14 story section alive.
ManGame Madness
The ProTour's February concluded with the first monument of the year: after Simone Ponzi (Good Energy) rode to an impressive victory in the hilly Classique du Grand-Duché in Luxembourg, Sam Bewley (Becherovka) sprinted to a stunning win at Milan - San Remo. A nice report from roturn, with short videos as an addition to the usual business.. the ITT-event Chrono des Herbiers kicked off March with a bang, as Marlen Zmorka (Metinvest) came home with a surprising victory with the two biggest guns (Coppel and Phinney) totally failing.
Another great report for Strade Bianche from Oleg Tinkov saw another dream from Jesleyh coming true, as Wilco Kelderman (Puma) took line honours. Maxime Monfort (Gisborne GP), Trent Lowe (Tour of the Middle East), Sebastian Langeveld (Geraardsbergen - Bosberg) and Jukka Vastaranta (GP Sallanches) were the other winners this week.
Weekly Tour
"As I've said many times, it's not fair that he [Alberto Contador] has to compete against fresh riders who are only doing the Tour de France" - Oleg Tinkoff
"To illustrate [Rohan] Dennis's sick ITT. 55.446 is the fastest average ever in a TdF TT. He beat Boardman's average of 55.27 in 1994, and that was only 7.2 km." - Wilier
Thread of the Week
Would probably be too easy to pick the Tour de France related stuff here, so I went for a significally "smaller", but (maybe) not less interesting thread: Road to the Top [Training Journal] by jseadog1 is a blog that should make him staying motivated to go running.
