Tour of California Stage 7


Bertogliati missed just one point to take the KoM jersey from Fajt


With 4km to go our train seems to be in a pretty good position


It seems that only the CSC guys can keep it up with us, while a lot of Rabo riders are stuck behind


But Hagen doesn't seem to be in a great mood and he can't help Eisel too much, he even seems to slow him down


Eisel gets out from Hagen's wheel, but is Ballan who takes the lead, appearing from nowhere


The ex-Austrian National Champion is trying to stop Ballan but it seems imposible


Ballan takes the stage win and with the bonifications he is now 6th in the overall rankings

Tour of California Final Stage


Though that nothing anounced this, we will have a new King of the Mountains at the end of the day


With 35km to go Ballan made an attack from the pack


A lot of big names after him and Karpets and Zabriskie were there too


Ballan attacked first but he hasn't strong enough to be in the first group. Rujano, Karpets, Hincapie, Cancellara and Devolder are there, while the escapes are almost caught


With the second group and the pack coming fast and the escapes caught Cancellara and Karpets went away from the others


And they worked together but Karpets had no chance against Cancellara in the final sprint, while the second pack almost caught them


Karpets got his best ranking in a stage today, but that didn't help him in his trying to get on the overall podium

Vuelta a Comunidad Valenciana Stage 1


Though that both escapes are pretty good climbers they had no chance today


Barredo was the first rider to attack on the last climb of the day


Kirchen was right after him, while Siutsou kept it close too


But as we aproach to the summit Siutsou has some problems. He and Moos droped from the first group


Kirchen, Colom, Barredo, Vicioso and Gutierrez are still there


At the end of the climb Boom attacked from the pack and soon he caught Siutsou, but Kanstanstin seems to be dead and he can't stay with Boom too much


Boom uses his downhill abilities and soon he caught the front group


When he saw Boom there, Kirchen made an acceleration


Nobody went after him and a gap was made between him and the others


With 1.5 km before the finish the sprint is launched behind Kirchen


But Kirchen looks strong enough to maintain himself in front


Barredo is the fastest behind him and he is getting closer and closer


He couldn't stop Kim and our leader gets the first win of the season in his first race

1 on 1 for Kirchen

It probably won't mean anything... the both of us already know there's no competition for Vicioso

Vuelta a Comunidad Valenciana Stage 2


The game crashed during the replay so I have just the picture with the 10 men breakaway. They race was very hard to control and they managed to finish in front


They came 3 minutes before the favourites group, including Boom and Kirchen, and they all got the first 10 places in the overall rankings. Kirchen is now 11th, somewhere at one minute and a half behind the leader.

fantastic story!

Vuelta a Comunidad Valenciana Final Results

Because of too many crashes I've decided to simulate the rest of the rest and post the final results. Sorry for that.

Kirchen was second in the third stage and first in the fourth stage, which helped him get back the yellow jersey won in the first stage. Boom also had a good Tour finishing fourth overall.

I there!!! Great story, but you should hire RUI Costa for your team is a good team mate for stage races!!! Another question/favour for all, can anybody give me a serial number for pcm 2008?? I wanna play but i don't have any activations left.I've already sent a e-mail to cyanide but they won't answer!!! thanks a LOT!!!! VIVA PORTUGAL e o RUI COSTA & SERGIO PAULINHO

I don't think that Rui Costa is in the DB and I have some problems with the save-game at the moment

the end of a great story or just a holiday-break (or save problems?)

save-game problems. Every time I try to start a race it crashes. I will probably try again sometime soon.

The save game seems to be really fucked up and the closest back up I could find was from Le Tour 09

Ohhh, nooooo! This isn't good...

I'm going to try everything I can but it doesn't look too good.

do you know what database this is because i really like the saunier duval jersey

If I remember corectly that Saunier Duval jersey wasn't in that db. I found it somewhere on this thread: https://www.pcmdai...rowstart=0

thanks but for me it says 404error when opening link

what link? I said to search in the thread not the first page Try on the 11th page, the jersey should be there
