 Hope you didn't miss me too much last week! I have now returned as the penman, with the 10th consecutive edition of the news since its return in August.
Meanwhile, we've also entered October - and you know what that means. Time to reveal the winners of the 2nd Story of the Month and the inaugural New Story of the Month awards! Without further ado, allow me to present them through the words of Mresuperstar:
#2 Story of the Month awards winners
We have two more stories to crown as the second edition of the Story of the Month comes to close. Although we had a less voters participate this month we still got two deserving winners as they both doubled their competitors in votes.
The main award goes to brewers90 and Team Bunzl-Centrica Video Story while the best new story in September goes to Cycleman123 for Fabio Melani | Road to Le Tour.
Staying active and posting updates frequently set these two stories apart from the others and now they will forever be remembered in PCM.Daily history by being placed in the official winners thread.
October's competition looks to be fierce with the PCM.Daily DB getting ready to be released, so I'm looking forward to a great month of story writing.
Hold your horses, the Daily DB will arrive soon
No release just yet, but at least a short update from CrueTrue:
Sadly, you will have to endure a few days more of GTAV and FIFA14 - the PCM.daily DB will not be released on time.
In last weeks news, we did promise a release this week, but even though we have worked as hard as we possibly can, we haven't reached a point where we can say that it's as finished as we want it to be.
Fear not - it's getting close, really close, and while we should probably hold off from setting a new, official release date, it'd be very surprising if the PCM.daily Expansion Pack wasn't released next week...
Stage race dominant Kritskiy adds Volta a Portugal to palmares
While the Vuelta a Colombia has been prevented from moving forward recently due to stage issues, the Volta a Portugal has kept the Man-Game going with its 11 stages, featuring a number of climbs.
The exciting run for overall victory started right from the very first day, where home team Prio-Porto's Ruben Plaza donned the leader's jersey. After briefly passing it over to Portugal's big star Rui Costa (CSC-Orbea) a little later, the Spaniard took it back before the usual queen stage to Torre.
That climb was just a little too much for him, however. Tinkoff's Timofey Kritskiy spurted clear near the top and grabbed the leader's jersey from Plaza, and then defended it through the individual time trial to take yet another prestigious stage race victory. Plaza joined him on the podium along with LukOil's Karpets. |
