thanks but its work of Jakstar22

Rui Costa is National Champion in 2013 and 2014 in my game (Roberto story), hope you can do it here, too

If you remember he will have form of 55 that time so maybe if I can get him in break and nobody will chase

Hi after my first stage win this year I´m really motivated.



5 riders got away and created nice 7 minute gap.



We let Sky do the pace as they have a lot of experience with holding the leaders jersey .
Danny Pate again made most of the job. We were joking with guys that we are glad he is not the one with yellow jersey .



With only 30kms to go 5 riders tried to brigde the gap. Amongs them was one of the best punchuers, Albasini. We saw that also one of the Sky riders went with them so we qiuckly went to front and controled the pack. On last of the big climbs I sent Quintana to catch them.



He did one hell of a job and with 15kms to go nobody was in front of the pack. Pace really slowed down. Nobody was doing the pace and it was really wierd.



After 5kms like this Roy couldn´t wait any longer. He attacked like only he and maybe Rodriguez can. He flew by us and created a gap of 1 minute.



We quickly create a provisor sprint train as nobody of us is good in this.



With still 6kms to go Quintana was nearly dead. He gave his all on that final climb and I had only Alejandro with me. Meanwhile Roy had only 5 seconds on the peloton.



I was sure we will catch him.
Alejandro found a wheel of Danny Pate! He couldn´t done anything better as he gave Alejandro and me slipstream that we needed.
With only 2.5kms to go Alejandro started to sprint.



Under one kilometer banner Luis Leon Sanchez came from behind. I known I had to do something. I started to sprint with 1 km to go. Could I make it a double?







Yes!!
Another victory and it taste me even sweeter than yesterday´s.
Quintana was so much happy for me.



I quickly ran to Alejandro and thanked to him. Without him I wouldn´t be able to do it. I now know that he is Man of his words! Those of you who are reading know what I ment with that .

GM took some pictures of me while I was on podium... 3 times!!

Me as a Stage winner:


Me as GC leader:


And finnaly me as Points leader:


Sorry I don´t have results I am too tired to look for them on the internet now but you can see top 10 on those pictures.
Tommorow is another hilly stage. Maybe I can make it a tripple?
Seeya.

Thanks guys. But don´t give me those bananas for nothing! this is not the case as I won but I really don´t want bananas that I don´t deserve.

Rui.

When's stage 4?

Yeah i agree with ian, it seems to have been a while

Sorry guys. I don´t have that much motivation right now like I have when real life cycling is up in the TV. It can really turn me up and I go play 3 stages in a row. But when this break is here I probbably will make reports occasionally. That doesn´t mean that I´m ending this story! No way! When I play PCM is always with Rui. Hope it is not that bad . But hey! maybe there is always chance I will get back to it more and then I can make more reports.
I hope you understand.

btw: I am really happy that you like this story . And I will try to make next stage tommorow

Okay, thanks for letting us know, man
Do whatever you like, that's the main thing!

Totally understand about the motivation issue, we will all suffer from that once in a while
But glad to hear that Rui will not be forgotten
