It's been a fairly quiet week on Daily in terms of real news, so here's a quick round up of the usual stuff
Looking for DB Help
Earlier this week haasje33 put out a request for some members to help out with future PCM.Daily DB projects. The PCM14 Expansion pack has been downloaded by over 6000 people and the yearly DB's are one of the biggest things this site does and offers to the community. Without the incredible work of the DB team we cannot offer this to you guys. You can read the full post below.
Man-Game Madness
The Vuelta continues onwards where Jose Alarcon, Simply Red Bull, did infact get wiiings and fly into the race lead on Stage 11 with a devastating attack. The reduced sprint field contested Stage 12 with Azzeddine Lagab, Jaguar-Eritel, taking honors. Beyond that it's been a quiet week for the Pro Tour.
Lots more action below. The Eneco Tour concluded with Quickstep's Maxime Vantomme coming out dominant in a great sprinters tour. The Tour of Bulgaria slightly dissapointed with the AI but Andrei Kashechkin won't complain his GC win for Repsol-Cativen. Note local hero Petar Panayotov for local team Boeing-Bulgaria, in 6th place.
For the CT division they've had strong showings in Bulgaria and have gotten slowly underway for the Vuelta Guatemala. But a slightly slower week for them as well.
Also huge props to Tsmoha for reporting so very many many races this month!
Story Games Summary
EPIC gets ever closer to the season finale. The late season classics have been varied and exciting whilst the Tour of Britain proves unpredicatble and successful for the EPIC created riders. Also squads for the World Championships are being announced which will see several great races in Tuscany.
Thread of the Week
I'm With Stupid continues strongly, just finishing off Bikex's run as host. Brandles Hour Record sparked some more cycling related discussion as has the latest transfer, race and team news. Cafe Pedro is busy as always with various chat especially thanks to Halloween. But this weeks Thread of the Week is actually In the Pursuit of Glory by the_hoyle. Unusual to pick a story but the Giro has been a great read and for the last few weeks it's been the sites stand out story. |
