Clean up in the site database
As PMs are taking a lot of space in PCM.dailys site database - actually about 25% the size of all forum posts - we've decided to delete all private messages, which are older than a year. This will get rid of about 45,000 PMs.
If you want to keep some of your PMs, simply move them to your archive folder before friday evening this week (GMT +1). This can be done by checking the PMs and click the button "Save".
Update: The old private messages have now been deleted.
As you may be aware of, PCM.daily is currently working on a more 'complete' 2009 DB with more teams, races, riders and other interesting features. What we haven't said - until now - is that we're working on an add-on for this database to satisfy a smaller, yet remarkable segment of PCM.daily: the East Europeans.
Ozzy is the one in charge of this expansion pack, and he's asked me to forward the following message - click 'Read More' to read it.
In the end Contador came out on top with Kloden making it an Astana 1-2. Long time leader Tony Martin ended 4th.

Most Efficient Rider
Christophe Riblon was leading into the 2nd rest day and he held on to win it overall aswell. Jeremy Roy is the only one in the most efficient Top 3 who was in anybody's team though.

See the extended article for the full best rider and most efficient rider tables.
Okay, time to reveal the absolute final results of the Fantasy Tour de France 2009 ... and I can tell you that it is now closer bewtween the top 2 teams than it was after CrueTrue's last update - the winning margin is less than 100 pts.
Elsewhere, the good news is that theres very few positional changes from Crue's final update. However I notice that one change could cause some annoyance to Deadpool in regards to the final position of his and Waghlon's teams ...
Information on the best riders, most efficient riders and the perfect team will come on Saturday.
So ... ah, yes .. the winner. Congratulations jack888! Andy Schleck, Vandevelde, Pellizotti, Kloden, Astarloza, Cancellara, Casar, Hincapie and even Pereiro have delivered you to the Number 1 position.

The previous positions are the ones from Crues post and as ever, full standings are in the extended article.
The Tour has ended, but some results are still yet to be presented: PCM.daily's Fantasy Tour de France. As I said in the previous update, the results that I post are still preliminary as they will have to be verified by SportingNonsense - and with the top being as close as it is, this verification may change the outcome (although I doubt it).
Anyway, here's the results after the 21st and last stage of the Tour de France:
