 Here's a fresh, new edition of the weekly news!
"Story of the month" to be revived
As some of the the long-time members might remember, there was once an award given out monthly to the most popular story on the site. Unfortunately, it didn't last long and hasn't been around for several years. However, newly appointed crew member Mresuperstar has now decided to make an effort to bring this back.
So, story writers - make sure to write the best reports you can in the next couple of weeks, as the first "new" award will be handed out at the end of August. Further details surrounding this will be revealed in next week's news.
Stages forum running strong
There has always been at least a few talented stagemakers active on the forum, but during the past couple of weeks, the activity is excellent and many members are frequently updating their showrooms.
Among the most recent additions of races we have nathounet87's Vuelta variant, stardrummer91's 2013 Tour of Utah and the soon-to-be-finished 1995 Giro d'Italia by ricardo123. If you haven't visited the PCM13: Stages subforum yet, now is a great time to do so!
ManGame TDF approaching the end
The last time the ManGame Tour was mentioned in the news - two weeks ago - it had only reached stage 7 and not really begun yet in terms of decisive stages. That has now changed, as we've made it all the way to stage 16 and the 3rd week - with the potential for some amazing final stages ahead.
Team B&O's Aleksandr Pluchkin was the man in yellow two weeks ago, but the Moldovan champion has since then suffered a poorly timed puncture that cost him over 5 minutes to his main rivals, and subsequently all chances of winning his first Tour ever.
Instead, the fight looks to be the same as last year - ManGame legend and defending champion Damiano Cunego vs. young supertalent Angel Madrazo. At the moment, it is the former who has the upper hand, leading Madrazo by 27 seconds heading into the final five stages. However, a long ITT and several mountain stages remain - meaning that anything can still happen. Don't miss the end of this very exciting race!
Lastly - not a part of the ManGame? Stay tuned for next week's news for an opportunity to join a new development in the game. |
