Yes, can't wait to play the Mount Ventoux stage, I will crash Dekker thereB)



In the second stage I sprint with Kirchen because I felt I can win and trying to win some seconds in the bonicification. Thanks for the advie but I think they aren't anymore flat stages in Paris Nice, except one that has a very very thiny hill with 7or 8 km to the finish

One of favourite races of the year will start . It's Tirreno-Adriatico

Here is the team:
Linus Gerdemann
Michael Rogers
Marco Pinotti
Bernhard Eisel
Marcel Sieberg
Bert Grabsch
Adam Hansen
Edvald Boasson Hagen

Not a bad team! Many of these can win the time trial Good luck!

Thanks, Gerdemann is the leader

Good luck in Tirreno!

Thanks, i will post the first stage in a few minutes. I can tell you that there was a massive sprint but not a classic one

Tirreno Adriatico Stage 1


Flecha tries something there but he will be caught


All my sprinters were after the last climb in a `grupetto`


Gasparotto leads the sprint


And he wins it


'cause is the first stage I will just post a picture with the results
[

It's tough when your sprinter(s) is bad in the hills..

Haha what a sprint Which database do you use?

I think that is the first RN made by the Dankan, but not sure 'cause I tried a lot of databases

I know, the next year I will try to transfer a sprinter that is also good on hils

Ok, I like the flags

Yeah, me too. They looks really nice

The flags are not from the database. I download them from another part

how do you keep updating so quickly? last time i logged on a couple of days ago this story had 6 pages, now its got 10!

some good results though

I play 2 or 3 stages and then post them. Yesterday night and today I had nothing to do so I update it a lot
