 Quiet week on the whole so a quick news on the whole
Early Betting Action
Over the last few weeks we've brought you a nice selection of bets. The Tour Down Under has concluded and left acac outfront in the standings. Still there is the San Luis to conclude and a long season still ahead. And for Avin to be in the Top3 before a Sagan race is just astounding!
Stat Range Change
In Weekly News #153 i mentioned that Matt17br and Jesleyh had been running some tests on stats 86-99 and concluding that in Single Race modes this range worked! Well Jesleyh finally got around to looking at 1-49 stats this week. Some confusing results leads to the conclusion that 1-49 doesn't work as well as 86-99. Look at the full tests here.
Man-Game Madness
The Tour of the Future has arrived and the best eligible U23 talents will race hard in France! Three stages down and three tough and action packed stages have taken place leaving Alexy Lutsenko with a potentially dangerous GC lead. It's well worth following the unique race here.
In the PT Jose Alarcon comfortably held onto his lead to win the Vuelta a Colombia ahead of Tiago Machado and Andrei Amador. The PCT and CT cobblers went to Copenhagen where Jerome Baugnies, of Quickstep, finally won a classic this season. Currently some of the best of the PCT and CT are at the Bayern Rundfahrt where Ian Bibby leads after 3 stages for Jaguar-Eritel. Finally the best of the CT had a showdown in the US where De Haes soloed to victory for Risa-Ergon
Story Game Summary
Not much to report from the ICL or EPIC. Both are still working through the off-season. EPIC has been the more active as teams set their goals for Part 1 and all the usual pre-season introductions and predictions take place.
The rFactor league had it's debut race. Things didn't get off to the best start as only Paul23 and Stahli managed to complete the race distance with the rest having fallen by the wayside by Lap31.
Both Mresuperstar's H2H League and Ian Butlers CycloCross A New Dawn continued strongly with several updates and races each at their usual high levels.
Thread of the Week
Outside of the Cycling Threads it's been a relatively quiet week so i'm picking out one of those threads. San Luis has enlivened the Other Races 2015 thread as expected but most discussion has been had in the 2015 Tour Down Under thread. So the debut WT thread of the year is my Thread of the Week. |
