Alright, on to the next matchup. This time only 3 races are included in this matchup, but all with 5 stages and a final GC, so still lots of points up for grabs
All this can be found in the pages in the menu on the top of the screen. To be complete, here are the fixtures for the coming #machup3. Behind the team name is the current standing in the league table.

I will try to keep the score in the matchup in the table below. This is mostly by hand, so updates might come every couple of days. Matchup2 will have the last result on 29th of January. So expect to have the final result on that day or the day after at the latest.
*update 29-1-2017; all results are calculated and league table has been updated*
The first Matchup has been completed. One the last day there have been some changes in the winner of the fixture due to the points in the GC of some riders. This has costed @Leo_Matlock, @gianluca_malta and @CyclingHubTV the lead they had up until now. Speaking of @CyclingHubTV, that was probably the closed battle with only 4 points difference and we'll never know what would have happend if Gorka Izzaguire didn't crash. For me this was a great beginning of the matchups, as my team was able to beat the defending champion @cyclingmole. Here is the complete breakdown of the matchup;
Next match-up will include the following races;
Next fixtures are;
Things are far from over and a couple of match-ups are very close. Some of you asked the current score in the match-ups. So I've decided to give you a scoreboard for the fixtures. Still 3 stages and a GC left thought!
*update 21-1-2017* scoreline below now has the standings with only 1 stage and GC to go:
The first #matchup is well under way and the first results have been processed into the result. I've taken the women's race of Tour Down Under as the first half of the #matchup, but the men's race is a WT race, so naturally the points on offer will be higher there. The fixtures as they stand after the women's race are;
Special mention for the @comovaeso and @Sijmenmolenaar match-up, as they both have no rider active in the TdU and therefor the first know result; draw :)
The first mens race also has taken place and the first stage is also processed and turns the tables on a couple of match-ups.
Having said that, than we also have our first win and lost matchup as @padbets has no rider active in this matchup and @jswadswad has just grabbed 2 points securing his first win. And I also feel sorry for @manpt15 as @BearTowell seems to be on fire in Australia. I Hope his Mads PEDERSEN or Johan Esteban CHAVES, can help him out. But as stated before, the battle is far from over; 5 more days to go. Looking forward to it!
This might not become a regular thing as most of the time will go into the processing of the results and calculating the scores for the match-ups. But since we don't have that yet and I was eager to see with which riders my team has to battle the mighty @cyclingmole (and reigning champion).
Here are the participations per team in the races of the first match-up;
Only 1 week left before our competition starts. First race is the ​Santos Women's Tour (2.2) in Australia. The first stage of the race starts on the 14th of January and small bits and pieces of the startlist are apearing on the internet. The first quick scan shows a couple of interesting participants with more interested managers, hoping they will score the first points for #PFCL3 #Matchup1
There are 10 picked cyclists participating, but nothing is certain with a couple of days to go until the start
With the UCI nothing is certain, but I did process all the changes to the calendar, hoping that this will be final for the first Quarter at least. All races over in the first 3 months have been assigned to matchup rounds and we will have 12 matchups with the initial draft teams.
The calendar and the fixtures can be found in the top right corner in their own page. I will post the scores of the matchup here in the blog and will also create a page with the league table standings. The first races of the calendar for the #matchup1;
If all goes accordingly, results of the first matchup should be availiable on the 23th at the latest. |
