Weekly News #19
Well since CrueTrue is away in Berlin, I will become the first non-CrueTrue to post the weekly news!
World Championships - Underway at last! The long awaited World Championships, run by Petere have finally got underway over the weekend. The 4 qualifiers for Groups A,B,C and F have been decided, while the matches for Groups D and E are yet to be completed. The 20 qualifiers for the next round will be freshly drawn into new groups.
PCM Fantasy/Prediction League Update The Prediction League has just passed Tirreno - Adriatico, and Igor Astarloa leads the ProTour ahead of Frank Schleck and Phillipe Gilbert. Ag2r and Liquigas are the strongest teams. The competitors have swapped positions throughout and at least half of the 11 have led at some point. The 2 ProTour races have been the crucial races so far, bringing by far the most points and this has showed with the Paris-Nice victor, Panaflex and the Tirreno-Adriatico champion, Dejacobs, battling it out for the lead. Panaflex has 1343 pts and Dejacobs has 1333.
Doddy13's ProTour Prediction League Our real life predictions have been less succesful and so far no one has correctly guessed any correct positions. Hopefully this will change as the season progresses.
Cycling Event VLIGHT This is a new french database that we have added this week. It is fully updated and inludes the recent transfer of Jorg Jaksche to Tinkoff. The dtabase's main focus is Stats and Photos, and you can read more about it in Panaflex' review. You can download the database here .
Speaking of Database Reviews, you seem to like them! Don't forget that you can submit your own reviews by going to the Submit Article page, and selecting Dtabase Reviews.
Stanosbase 07 V1 Stanosbase 07 V1 is a dutch contribution to the community. It includes an extensive range of new graphics, including photos, jerseys (of all kinds), new UCI-backnumbers, manager photos. There are also new secondary sponsors, and a lot of stat corrections. The only drawback to the database is that all the race names are listed in Dutch. Click here to download the database.
Stories Crommy's dramatic season with the Cyling 24 team continues and we will have to find out what will happen to his team following it's sponsors withdrawal. Meanwhile, I have started a season with the american Toyota United team, which is much more enjoyable than my Red Bull season. I have even created a Background for Toyota United, which I have made available to download.
That's all we've got for this week, CrueTrue will return for next week's update and we will have to wait and see what the week will bring us.
