 With the real cycling season approaching the end, I'm guessing some of you intend to fill the void by starting a new or continuing an already existing PCM career. Either way, this article should hopefully bring you some good news regarding those plans!
Patch 1.0.4.0. (hopefully) out by Monday
As most of you probably already know, the anticipated new patch fixing some of the major bugs in PCM13, is estimated to be released this Monday. This information comes from Cyanide team member Izno. Please note that this is an estimate rather than a promise, so don't go smashing them if it takes another day or two. ;-)
Jesleyh wins PCM.daily's Velogames Vuelta league
After alexkr00 at the Giro and Smowz at the Tour, it is Jesleyh who becomes the third and last winner of our own PCM.daily league in a Velogames Grand Tour. He managed the impressive feat of foreseeing the surprising overall winner Chris Horner, while also including other riders with good scores such as Alejandro Valverde and Joaquím Rodríguez, and eventually ended up just 5 points short of 8000 - almost 200 more than 2nd placed Peter.
All we can do now is look forward to next year and the classics game, I guess!
2013 betting champion all but decided
The real life racing and the Velogames races aren't the only things leaving for a few months - the betting system will also take a hiatus over the winter for obvious reasons. With that said, there are still a few races left - the world championships for instance. The betting champion title looks to be out of reach however, as mbjerten is looking safe - with over 24000 PCM$ in his account!
It may sound almost unreal, but it's really just a few cleverly placed big pots behind his success. After gaining 800 PCM$ at Paris-Nice thanks to Porte, he continued by taking 1000 PCM$ from Roubaix with Cancellara before really breaking clear thanks to Froome's dominance in Romandie, the Dauphiné and the Tour (around 9000 PCM$ in total) before topping it off with 4000 PCM$ from Quintana on stage 20 of the Tour. Along with some smaller wins, that has added up to the current number.
Man-Game goes mountainous
As the title indicates, the climbers are currently thriving in the Man-Game. While many PCT and CT teams are off racing either Volta a Portugal or Vuelta a Burgos, the PT is currently in Colombia for 12 days - of which 8 include climbing of some sort!
And as if that wasn't enough, there's more coming up! First the Tour of Hellas in Greece, then also Tour de Vineyards on New Zealand and also Tour de l'Avenir for the youngsters. All before the end of August! If you like hard mountain stages, make sure to keep an eye on the Man-Game forums in the next few weeks! |
