Nice win! How can a 60's dowhiller maintain his lead against 70's and Sanchez?

well he had a better energy after the hill. And you can do that with the dot and 80%

Tscopp on 9th overall niiiice, you'll win this race.

Ok, i', sorry.. Can I forgive you ? Buy a beer or something?

maybe edit my savegame so Astana have the same equipment like the other teams. Cause I'm noob

waht, are you talking to me? *Looking confused around myself*



Maybe I know what's wrong, I can take a look at it tomorrow (and maybe edit Arvesens stats to 85)

well I thought that you are good with the graphics. PM me tomorrow if you can do anything to give you the last save. Oh and I want to sign Arvesen so...

Great riding in Suisse!

Tour de Suisse Stage 7


Hagen looses the contact with the first breakaway group. Loosli is there and he wants the KOM jersey


Barredo and Brajkovic tried a knock-out but it was too early


Kirchen goes with Sastre and Cobo


Kim is alone in front


Cobo and Sastre are after him


But not with a great advantage over the pack


Barredo falls right in the middle of the pack


An another win for Kirchen in Suisse

You truly are one hell of a good pcm player

Once more great reault alex

I've completely lost track can you tell how many victories have you achieved so far??

btw love that picture where Barredo crashes!

Very nice I have to play online with you some time

Raise the dificulty level.

Not now, wait for the next season

I will kick your ass, but my conection is poor when it comes to online games, so probably that will not happen very quickly....

Tour de Suisse Stage 8


Hansen has a great time for his climber abillities, 1-2 for Columbia in the morning times. Current leader: Bert Grabsch


David Lopez started the race 2 minutes behind Matthew Loyd but still caught him


Sastre has the best time at both of the checkpoints


At the finish his time is fantastic


Valverde has the 5th time, for now...


Kirchen is 50 seconds behind Sastre and wins the Tour of Suisse if no incidents will happen tomorrow
