A small patch has been released for the PCM.daily Expansion Pack, fixing the following things:

- A few bug fixes concerning equipment not showing up
- 3 new sponsors (Kleenex, Skype and Veltins)
- Several bug fixes
- Stat changes

You will of course always need to have installed V1 via the torrent download. Both the V1 and this patch can now be downloaded from our Downloads section.

Update 26/08: The V1.2 file has now replaced V1.1, containing bug fixes and stat changes

The first version of PCM.daily's Expansion Pack for PCM 14 is now finally here.

As you all know, a few members have joined the DB team of PCM.daily for this project, but also for future projects. Zecha, bwiggins, Sykkel_Freak, Kentaurus and haasje33 accompanied Jesleyh, Alakagom, Maddrengen, admirschleck and Jacky Durand to work on this huge project.

The database comes with 101 teams, all with fully updated rosters. You will also find a lot of new equipment and the full rider palmares of 2013.

Also, we have included a lot of other important stuff to the database. The database now has over 300 races, for instance. Another thing to mention is that we have added nearly 400 new sponsors.

Thanks to Alakagom and Jesleyh, we have more realistic stats than ever. They developed an adjusted stat matrix and adjusted a lot of stats.

Lastly, it's also worth mentioning that we've been improving the generation of young riders. We started with this in the previous database (2014DB for PCM2013) and with Kentaurus joining the team, we were able to make this even more realistic.

Convinced? Well, go straight to the download here .

A mirror link will be available soon.

As always, a huge thank you to the community for providing shirts, equipment and stages - and a special shout out to all members of the PCM.daily DB team, who worked on this project: admirschleck (graphics), bwiggins (equipment), haasje33 (graphics, cdb work and coordination), Jacky Durand (sponsorkits), Jesleyh (stats and other cdb work), Kentaurus (XML-files and cdb work), Maddrengen (graphics), Sykkel_Freak (cdb work) and Zecha (logos and other graphics).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The PCM.daily DB team will now move on to the V2 which will probably include some bug fixes, as well as a few new features: all sponsorkits by Jacky Durand implemented, cyclist contracts, additional variants and more…
Releasing a small update for PCM 13 is still being considered by the DB team, so we'll see about that.

The PCM Daily fantasy betting goes into the last part of the season obviously. At the moment it looks like a fight between SotD and rastaff, who both have made sensational bets this season and created a nice gap to the next.

With the Vuelta a Espana lots of new bets have been opened and might decide over the 2014 PCM Daily Betting champion. Next to the typical GC, stage and jersey odds, we also offer some head to head bets.

But the Vuelta is not the only race on the schedule! With the Vattenfall Cyclassics we have another bet up. Don`t ignore the race as the startlist deserved a bet obviously. Lots of sprinters will be at the start to fight for the win.

Just like the last Grand Tours, also the Vuelta a Espana has its own Velogames Fantasy Game.

As always there is a PCM Daily League to compete against other members.

To join the league, register here and create your own team with a maximum of 100 points. If you don`t know the game yet, you should read the rules first.

To join the PCM Daily league, you will need the following code: 18145457
