For the past couple of weeks, there has been a TDF Predictions thread up on our forum, with many members predicting the Top 10 in the Tour de France GC, amongst other aspects of the race. Using these predictions - awarding 10 points to a rider for a 1st place prediction, 9 points for a 2nd place etc etc - Ive compiled a projected Top 10 for the Tour.

Interestingly, it is Andy Schleck who comes out on top. 40 people may have said Contador to win, versus the 31 opting for Schleck - but while amost everyone has Schleck in the Top 2, a handful didnt select Contador in the Top 10, thus skewing the rankings somewhat. Behind them, there is expected to be a 3-way bettle for 3rd - with Samuel Sanchez edging Gesink by barely anything, and Jurgen van den Broeck rounding out the Top 5.

Click read more to see the Top 20 selections, with the points for each included. And if you havent looked at it already, ricotero_uy has put together a very good topic as a guide to the Tour de France, while today's opening Tour de France stage can be discussed in the Stage 1 topic.

In the Classics, the Giro, and the Tour de Suisse, members of this forum have participated in the Fantasy Cycling Games over at Velogames.com. This continues with the Tour de France, and you have until 11 AM CEST (Central European Summer Time) to sign up a team and take part.

For those who are new, the rules are simple - you select 9 riders with a points value of up to 100 points (those who are more likely to score points on every stage obviously costing more). 2 All-Rounders, 2 Climbers, 1 Sprinter, 3 Domestiques and a Wild Card who can come from any of the categories.

Once you have created your team for the game - which is free - you can then join the PCM.daily league by entering the league code: 22162352. 112 teams have entered already, and theres not long left to join in the fun!

They are quite fast, those Cya-guys.

The 1st patch was released on the day of the release, and a week later, the 2nd patch has been released.

The patch primarily fixes some multiplayer problem, and it also adds the much anticipated Stage Race mode, so it's now possible to play e.g. a Tour de France online with friends.

You can get it here where you can also find the full list of changes.

After a break of around a year, PCM.daily's Track League returns for PCM11! We will be playing an Omnium this evening (Friday July 1st) at around 8 PM British Time. Check the thread for more details.
