Weekly News #52
This time, it was actually on purpose that we didn't put up any Weekly News last week - simply because we didn't have any news to report about at all. We don't have much for this week either, but something is better than nothing, so here's the 52nd version of PCM.daily's Weekly News ;)
PCM.daily's 2008 DB - now with 97 teams Although we certainly thought that our list of teams in the DB was final we have been pressured to add yet another team. It's the (many) Portuguese members of this site who just couldn't live without the Continental squad Centro Ciclismo de Loulé which is now officially a part of the DB. And the Portuguese people weren't the only ones to "pressure" us. We have also decided to add the Hungarian Continental Team, P-Nívó Betonexpressz 2000 Corratec, which is mainly because of Cycling Manager Hungary's great interest in the project. Last, but not least, Jittery Joe's have been replaced by the German team, Kuota - Senges. This change were done, because the German team is so much stroner than Jittery Joe's - but don't worry, Trent Wilson will be in the DB as a free agent ;)
Speaking of the DB ... We can still use all the help we can get. We are both searching for people who can do photo packs of each team and for people who can make the jerseys we are missing. The Photos-thing is rather simple. We need to collect pictures of each rider from each team. We have already done a lot of teams ourselves, but, well, go to this thread and look for a team which isn't marked. Read the tutorial in the thread and get started ;) The jerseys does, of course, require some wisdom. We don't have all jerseys, and we need someone to either find the ones which have already been made or create those which haven't been made. Look in this topic for the jerseys we are missing.
The Sattlerei 2008 DB It's one of the more popular 2008 DBs, so even though it's a while ago it was released it's still worthy of a mention here. The Sattlerei 2008 DB is made by the very old CyM/PCM-website, Sattlerei (cyclingmanager.de), It doesn't have a whole lot of teams, but the ones it have should be totally updated. There are a few mistakes (f.g. "Marco Cipollini"), but other than that it looks good. It's a 220 MB package, and with the database you also get cyclist photos, 2008 race profiles for the three grand tours, new calendar logos, and much, much more. It's definitely worth a try - download it here.
Photos from Tour of California We do have a lot of American members, and that has paid off the past couple of weeks. Some of them "visited" the Tour of California stage race and took some fantastic photos which they have now uploaded to PCM.daily's Cycling Photos Section. Kebowers, for example, has taken some shoots off the Rock Racing team including Oscar Sevilla and Tyler Hamilton who travelled around with the team (along with pictures of other things too, of course). Levi4life has also been around and got some good shoots of the CSC domianance the first couple of days ;) You can see them all right here.

That was it -- I'm sorry to say, but we're still waiting for something exciting to happen. PCMBenelux' interview about PCM08 has still not been published, and in general, Cyanide has been pretty silent about the game ever since our interview with Clément Pinget. Hopefully, they are just working hard on the game ;)
