Its time for the latest scores updates from our Fantasy game!

In January Andre Greipel was the key rider, scoring much more than anybody else, and allowing those teams who picked him to top the leaderboards. Many then swapped him out, but those who did not benefited - as Greipel turned out to be the 2nd best scorer this month! The German's 274 means he is the best rider overall, but the best in February was Boasson Hagen - 2nd in Oman, 6th in Het Niewsblad and early race leader in Qatar all helped him to 303 pts. Dumoulin, Freire, Flecha, Rojas, Haussler, Farrar and Petacchi all also took more than 200 points. Dumoulin was also the 2nd most efficient rider this month - and now the most efficient rider overall - as he continues his strong season start. Montaguti was the most efficient for February, with Qatar winner Wouter Mol also up there.

The best fantasy team this month were Firmly Grounded, with 1317, Dumoulin and Haussler being their top scorers. TellyBellies and Team Boogie Woogie complete the top 3, but in 4th were January leaders LDF - Velingnews.com - and so they remain at the top of overall standings. They have quite a lead now, Tinkoff Revival are still 2nd but have lost ground.  Up to 3rd now are Huffy Test Team, the team of jack888 our TDF Fantasy game winner from last year, with the Top 5 being completed by 2 of 5 new entrants into the Top 10: Team Kirkegaard and Bonnet de Douchebag.

The new overall Top 10 are:

We are pleased to announce a new addition to our administrative team here at PCM.daily: Rjc_43.

He has already been helping out for some time, through his jersey making, management game work and of course co-running our 2010 Fantasy Game, but it is the Fantasy Betting which will be his main sphere of control - so you should now see much more bets being produced, to make that system more active and competitive.

Update, 10th of March: If you've been picked, you should receive a PM on the Cyanide forum today or one of the upcoming days.

It's that time of the year - Cyanide is now looking for beta testers to help out with finding bugs in the upcoming Pro Cycling Manager 2010.

The main focus this year is testing of the new graphic engine, especially when it comes to the stability. For the same reason, you don't need a super-configuration to take part. Having time and motivation to test is the most important.

Other than that, there's also the usual testing, e.g. checking the new features, feedback on the AI changes, etc. - so all in all, a quite serious task. If you're up for it, have a look at this thread.

Cyanide has been extremely early with both screenshots and the first trailer - luckily for us who're looking very much forward to PCM10. We've also heard a few tid-bits about new features in the game, and for the very same reason, we had several questions ready for Cyanide when the opportunity to interview them came up.

Although they are still not allowed to reveal everything about the upcoming game, we do come around subjects such as minimum game requirements, improvements to the AI/gameplay, the stage editor, the new season mode and the historical data - and several other interesting points.

You can read PCM.daily's interview with Cyanide / Xavier Wiart here and the documentation here - enjoy! :)

We are in the final week of February, so you are now able to make any changes you wish to make to your fantasy cycling team, if you have one. (And if you dont, its not too late to join).

Like last month, you can bring in up to 4 riders, but release as many as you like - so long as you keep with the minimum 16 rider limit, and the minimum of 5 ProContinental riders.

The deadline for changes if the end of the month, with races to look out for including Paris-Nice, Tirreno-Adriatico, Milano SanRemo, Tour de Langkawi, Criterium International, E3 Prijs and KBC-Driedaagse De Panne.

Your changes can be PMed to either Rjc_43 or SportingNonsense, or posted in the comments section here.
