 It took luck, failure and many cans of soda, but my potential 6 climber just won the Giro in 2020 - Waghlon (Be a Pro Discussion)
PCMDaily Members DB announced
Jesleyh and Matt17br started working on the PCMdaily Members DB - PCM 15! What is it? As simple as it sounds, it is a database full of PCMdaily members. The riders will be named like PCMdaily users, and will have the same nationalities and avatars.
No real teams, no real races. Instead you will have the chance to see your "virtual ego" in a collection of the finest shirts made by the community, as well as taking part in races such as Volta a Cafe Pedro or Tour of the ManGame. 624 of the most active members will be in the DB, but you can apply for a wildcard entry for yourself. There's also a chance to request a certain speciality for your rider.
No release date yet, but the guys are talking about something like two weeks.
Old Stories, new Stories
Some very old PCM editions coming alive this week: roturn decided to keep on writing on his Garmin - 4th season, which is "kicking off" with the Giro d'Italia 2013. Daniel Martin as his GC-rider, Tyler Farrar as his leading sprinter. Also SportingNonsense came back with his DFL Extreme | Season 4, 2010! Run on PCM07, he still got some reports in stock. Cadel Evans enjoyed a pretty succesfull Criterium du Dauphine - Libere. Go check yourself. Now we are (patiently) waiting for valverde321 to continue his El Imbatido, as he announced two weeks ago.
Having won a free copy for PCM15 through our TdF contests, alexkr00 immediately came up with a story this week: Putting the Quick in Quick ● Step. You can take those words "quick" seriously, as the pace of the reports is just awesome. Quality stuff though.
Team Dark Dog
..won't be back.
PCMDaily Racing League
Paul23 and jihardy decided to bring back this challenge for those, who fancy the motorized stuff: the PCM.Daily rFactor Racing League 2.0 has been kicked off this week. 12 members/drivers have applied so far, but I guess it should be still open for interested members. There's a voting for which cars will be used. And a discussion, which tracks should be in.
Since the real Formula One became a pretty boring thing to watch, you may stay at your keyboard and enjoy some time with the world's best community's members instead.
EPIC Quintana
Nairo Quintana did not only impress in the (real) stage up Alp d'Huez, he also crushed the competition in the EPIC Giro del Trentino. A clean sweap eventually, as the premium climber took out all four individual classifications. Beating EPIC rider Cristiano De las Campos (Euskaltel) and Franco Pellizotti (Cofidis) by almost five minutes, there's no question about how deserved this victory might have been.
Epic Schleck
Andy Schleck did not only impress in... well, wait.. Andy Schleck took out the ManGame's first Grand Tour - the Giro d'Italia 2015. In a thrilling battle for pink, the veteran took the race-lead on the penultimate day, where a long leading Riccardo Ricco (Festina) totally cracked to drop down to 4th in the GC. Schleck won by 46 seconds on Angel Madrazo (Quickstep), while Giro legend Damiano Cunego (Meiji) completed the podium. In the ManGame, Andy Schleck has now won all GTs at least once. Don't let the real Andy know this.
A busy week saw a few more notable winners then: Taylor Phinney (Venchi) brought home his fourth overall victory of the Tour of California, beating an unlucky Simon Spilak (Festina) by just 5 seconds. In the PCT, Luis Leon Sanchez (Evonik) took out the Tour of Romandie and Maxime Monfort (Gazelle) the Tour of South Africa. Monfort going for a 100% winning quote so far this season.
Thread of the Week
