Fantasy Betting, Now It's Serious
The PCM.Daily Fantasy Betting this year has been incredible. We've had some of the biggest ever wins and a cracking range including a lot of new style bets, and of course there was the '1 of 4' Competition during the Tour. Now the main Road season is coming to a close the Rankings have gotten super serious. SportingNonsense leads with $2,371. Elch is Second with $2,360. Strydz is Third with $2,358. Three members separated by just $13!
Currently there is just one Bet still running, Hour Record Holder @01/11/15. This Bet came online way back on the 18th January and, barring any madness in the next three weeks, Bradley Wiggins will be the winning rider. So which of our three contenders has picked the winner? Or could there be more drama as main betting admin Roturn has suggested he might throw down some final obstacles!
Man-Game Madness
A very unique event is upon us. The Tour de l'Avenir is one of the only races where ProTour can go toe-to-toe with the Continental Tour. Riders from all teams can take part in the 10 day event. The top U23 talent is there with riders like Morton, Lecuisiner, Zabel, Groenewegen, Zmorka, McCarthy, Lutsenko and many more in attendence.
The Primary PT race this week was the GP Moscow, a sprinters fest. Sam Bewley, Becherovka, dominated the finale. He keeps Becherovka's title hopes powering as they close up on Vesuvio. Yes we had a PT Rankings update this week as well.
The big PCT news was the conclusion of the Volta Portugal. Tiago Machado, Prio-Porto, took the GC win. Nepomnyachsniy was 2nd for the relegation battling Nemiroff, a huge result for them. The CT went to the USA for a cobbles battle where Van Wyk took a surprising breakaway win for Strava.
Story Games Summary
ICL16 continues with it's off-season. Early FA bidding and Transfer discussions as well as a lot of talk to decide on the new calendar changes. PCR continues with it's sign-up proccesses. CTL begun it's planning phases as well. So basically, it's Story Game off-season and there's plenty to keep abreast of.
CX:AND crowned a new champion. The NES finished up with drama in Kitakyushu as the young guns fought hard. Milan Listerijn claims the honor of first NES winner! Other attention shifted towards the Continental Championships in the coming days as well.
Thread of the Week
All this talk of the Road season coming towards it's end. But with the Tour Down Under less than 100days away, lets be honest the season never really ends. Certainly not if you read my thread of the week, Other Races 2015. Abu Dhabi, Emilla, Piemonte, Paris-Tours and more keep this thread as alive as it was in July or August. |
