Gambling Addiction
The cycling season is getting closer to finishing, which means our Fantasy Betting is entering it's late stages. With the Worlds coming up followed by Lombardia, and maybe some of the bigger autumn classics, there's plenty of time to make your mark on the competition. Speaking of making a mark...
Elch made one of the biggest winning bets i've ever seen, netting himself $1,925! He nailed the Vuelta KoM as Another Rider and scored big enough to take the lead in the betting. He wasn't the only big Vuelta winner as depeche92 earned $892.50 on Fabio Aru winning overall, depeche is now up to 9th place. An $875 win for Strydz climbs him up to 4th place.
And we're still waiting for our season long bets to finish. There's the CQ Ranking leader after Lombardia and the Hour Record Holder bets to conclude. With just over $1,000 between the Top5 this is still very much an open fight, so get involved!

Man-Game Madness
The headline is the Avenir sign-ups are now open! The Tour of the Future has well established itself in the MG world as a major event for the young riders. Big EXP boosts and great racing, as well as a rare chance for PT, PCT and CT teams to all compete at the same time. It's a fantastic race well worth watching.
The other headline being the Tour de France. Cyclings biggest race is probably the MG's biggest race. Already 11 stages in and we've had a huge variety of winners and much action throughout. I'm not going to spoil anything here but the competitions are not as predictible as you might think with plenty of surprise names near the top end of things.
The PCT headed to the Isle of Man for an ITT and then a hilly road race. Kai Reus, RBC, took the ITT win in the rain before Luis Leon Sanchez, Evonik, took the road race win in the sunshine. The CT headed to Africa for the Amissa Bongo race, where a dramatic final day shook things up. Lavoine, Fablok, won the race but it was Novatek making the most of things with 3-4-5 in the GC.
Thread of the Week
Not much competition, it's the La Vuelta a España 2015 - Week 3 1/2 thread that takes the crown. The end of the Vuelta threw up as much action and discussion as any other week or part of the race. We discussed it long and hard here on Daily as usual, and i bet the discussions will continue for antother few days as well. |
