We didn't really expect to put more work into the Expansion Pack for PCM12, but it seems the lead databaseur Luigi has trouble staying away from the database work.

So with the unexpected release of another patch for Pro Cycling Manager, Luigi seazed the opportunity to add a few extras to the Expansion Pack - and now it's released.

It's not a huge update, but for those wanting a few bug fixes, a few extra 2012 routes that replaces fake stages and a notable change in the list of Tour de France winners, the PCM.daily Expansion Pack for Patch 1.4.0.0 is definitely worth downloading.

You know you want to.

After a few weeks of radio silence, there's a few things to report in this week's Weekly News.

PCM.daily DB now compatible with Patch 1.4.0.0
We got to admit that we were quite surprised to see another patch released for Pro Cycling Manager. When we released the latest database we did say we were done working on the 2012 DB, but the latest patch did prompt us to release an update to avoid the pink logos.

So, if you've installed Patch 1.4.0.0, get this file to avoid issues. By the way, we might have one last 2012 DB-trick up in our sleeve. More information within the next couple of days.

Cyclocross now on PCM
The road season is slowly coming to an end, but that also marks the beginning of the cyclocross season, a great time for whoever's interested in muddy Belgian criteriums.

As previous years have shown, making a cyclocross database for PCM isn't the easiest task as it requires new graphics, completely revamped calendar, teams, riders etc. - yet it seems that we may be in for a treat this year with the StanosCrossBase.

With its 58 teams, real races, textures, playability in career etc.,there's plenty of reasons to download the new cyclocross database.

Vesuvio wins Management Game
The latest season of the Management Game has come to an end with SportingNonsense's Vesuvio team on top of the rankings. The team took a dominant win ahead of Pearl Adidas and Sony Ericsson while the individual ranking was won by Santander's Angel Madrazo with Riccardo Ricco and Damiano Cunego coming in on the following spots.

There's still a ot of national championships to be done before the season comes to a final end. After this, it will be possible to apply to become a part of the game. Keep your eyes open in the ManGame part of the forum.

We have a few more winners
As announced a week ago, everyone who submited stages and tips to the respective sections of PCM.daily would take part in a lot where we'd pick a few winners of the Focus Home Interactive-games Divinity II and Yesterday.

The time has come to announce the winners who've been lucky enough to get picked - and they are:
lluuiiggii wins Yesterday
Margh Norway wins Divinity II

You can claim the prizes by sending me a PM.
