This will be of particular interest to those of you that are French, and the rest should still find it useful to know. PCM France, creators of the FDB (which is not the Focus DB), has changed in a big way! They have merged themselves with a big general cycling forum in France, Le Gruppetto.
Le Gruppetto was founded by ex-Cyanide forumers and has grown into a real hub for cycling discussion in French. So if you are looking for PCM France you can now find them at Le Gruppetto, as well as a bucket load of general cycling chat and many other cool things. If you want a link, then here's one. Best of luck PCM France by Le Gruppetto. Thanks to Médé33 for letting the community know
Man-Game Madness
I was worried this issue would be 99% Man-Game, so thank you PCM France! We'll begin with the divisional news updates. We've finished the regular season now and in dramatic style across the board. Ponzi, Good Energy, might have won in Lombardia but that was overshadowed as Festina, managed by SotD, stormed to a late PT Title! In the PCT McCarthy, BoI, was victorius in Japan as Aegon held onto their lead to take the PCT crown. Finally in the CT De Maar, Carlsberg, shocked in Zurich as Novatek came from behind to win the CT division. Congrats to all thre champion teams.
I won't go through all the rankings in detail here, just visit: Final CT Rankings 2015, Final PCT Rankings 2015, Final PT Rankings 2015 yourselves for the details and discussion as we digest a fantastic and close fought season.

Notes From Admin(s)
I apologise for a recent lack of Weekly News's. Not going to go into details but they will be back now and consistently posted on Sundays/Mondays as we run towards the end of the year. Now it's up to you lot to keep giving me things that are news worthy every week.
Finally, we've got a nice little extra announcement coming very soon that i'm certain you'll all enjoy. A real colaborative effort i think is pretty neat. #spoilers |
