PCM15 Contests Update
Our contests to win three free copies of PCM15 are well underway and it's time for an update: the first (of two) One of Four games sees four leaders right now - Eposk, fjhoekie, lakebeach and sosososik had four bets spot on and may all free up some space on their hard drive already.
The Velogames contest is currently led by Rjc_43 (Good Energy), who's collected 3177 points with a team of Valverde, Kwiatkowski, Rodriguez, Dan Martin, Cavendish, Gallopin, Thomas, Dumoulin and Sagan. One may question if he will hold on to his (narrow) lead with that team.
Site (still) undergoing updates
As most of you should have noticed, AaB-ern is currently upgrading the system (PHP-Fusion) behind PCMDaily. Step by step, our master brain will update stuff, that hasn't been updated for years. So you will still notice some changes here and there, as well as some missing features (speaking of PCM$). Huge credit to AaB-ern for taking the time to work his way through this stuff though.
CrueTrue himself got it spot on: "Years of neglect by me now being fixed by AaB-ern".
EPIC Sagan
Peter Sagan is not only enjoying quite a strong (real) TdF, he's also pretty epic in EPIC. After winning Paris - Roubaix, he added another strong result by finishing 4th in the Amstel Gold Race this week. Michał Kwiatkowski is only enjoying an epic EPIC though, as he (opposing to his real TdF) delivered big time and took out the AGR with a strong solo ride over the final 10-15km, beating Gilbert and Uran by half a minute eventually.
Weekly Tour
Tony Martin going from hell to heaven - and back to hell - in three days.. Froome leading, Nibali struggling. Pretty epic racing in the first few days.
Rest days are awful. I don't know what to do with myself. (cactus-jack)
ManGame Madness
A rather quiet week for the 2015 season's standards, but Sam Bewley (Becherovka) and Dan Holloway (Red Bull) wouldn't agree with that. Bewley took out the cobbled East Midlands Cicle Classic ahead of Fabian Cancellara, while Holloway sprinted to an impressive victory in the challenging flat Lisbon Classic. Bewley's early season in numbers: leading the ProTour with 1143 points - with Boasson Hagen (588) as second in the rankings!
In the Continental Tour, Luis Leon Sanchez (Evonik) rode to an overall victory in the Tour of Ukraine, while Karcher took out the Differdange Duo. Two cobbled classics on the menu - two surprising winners: Maxime Daniel winning Gent - Wevelgem, Stijn Joseph beating the division's best cobbler Summerhill in Dwaars Door Vlaanderen.
Thread of the Week
The Tour de France stage's threads would deserve it, but I don't care. While not being the most active thread in the past few weeks/months - not even days - I think our Café Pedro 10: Mostly Harmless is a place to visit right now. Go and see who's going to holidays now, who's coming back and who's thinking back at (and reading) old stories from our story sections. |
