The SKY is the strongest, else is just chatter - udoi (Sky Doping/Hate Thread)
And the winner is...
After fjhoekie won the first of three free PCM15 copies through our PCMDaily contests last week, we can now announce the two members, who did a great job not buying the game on first hand: alexkr00 took the One of Four contest, beating runner-up dark_x2012 and SSJ2Luigi in the game deciding tie-break! Special mention to fjhoekie, who was amongst the final four (again).
The third copy goes to cio93, who finished the PCMDaily Velogames as fifth overall. Opposing to the overall winner Lord Di Lego, cio showed the needed activity in the Velogames and Tour related threads in our forums and earned the price that way. Enjoy your time now, guys.
Shirts and Stages for PCM15
Quite a lot of (new) threads in the Graphics forum for PCM15: Graphics by Tatone91 may be worth a look, coming up with a few good looking shirts and some unique 'fake photos' for cyclists. K01 Graphics | Country Flags Pack in progress announced an interesting project (his thread title should be self-explaining). #Саша# Cycling Jersey Shop by perot is another new thread with a pretty cool shirt as it's first showing. Also reblaus Jerseys has seen some good activity most recently. If you are looking for fantasy shirts, there's quite some places to visit right now.
We've also seen some stagemakers active last week: a Benelux Tour Cobble GT is underway, made by trekbmc. stardrummer91 stages started with the Tour of Berlin (U23) and already released a new fantasy classic based in Germany. Not a fan of promoting myself, but also tsmoha's stages | Tour of Southern Africa comes up with a fantasy Grand Tour.
Stories on several platforms
In a week still dominated by the real action in France, we still noticed some good activity in the story sections: The Two of Us | Chapter 2 by Ian Superstar (Butler&Mre) and Life in Obscurity: the story of a small Continental team by Ollie23 feature two rather unique approaches. Nairo Quintana|2015 - Stage Races Begin by Jakstar22 and The Fight For Green - A Sprinter's Story from the_hoyle (both PCM13) as two more stories worth to follow (probably).
Another beloved star from the real Tour is featured in a story from DiCyc: Peter Sagan - The Dream for the Green is played on the Tour de France 2011 console game and if you want to see a young Sagan challenging for green, it's now time to follow, as the story already reached the first stage of the TdF now.
ManGame Madness
The Giro d'Italia and Tour of California are both underway - with Team Festina leading both events at the moment (Ricco in Italy, Spilak in the US). A few days before, Sam Bewley continued to win as he wants to: the Kiwi completed a San Remo - Ronde - Roubaix triple!
A thrilling Tour of Vancouver was won by Alberto Contador (Bonsucro), who took the overall victory in a concluding TTT. The cobbled KBC De Panne Tour saw Danny Summerhill (Azteca) adding another win to his season palmares.
Weekly Tour
It's all over now. Froome. So much hate, but also quite some entertaining racing.
Thread of the Week
PCMdaily DB Stat Discussion - PCM15. The annual post-Tour debate about Quintana's resistance, Froome's whatever and so on.
