Yes. But the story barely reached Il Giro, if I remember correctly.

Edit: it was over 5 years ago actually. I see you've made your first posts in that thread. Nice Smile

Australian Championships: ITT
i.imgur.com/dXGLm9I.png


The season kicks off with the Individual Time - Trial of the Aussie Championships. One of the early starters, Cameron Meyer set up a very good time which allowed him to spend a lot of time in the leader's seat.

Our only Aussie rider, Mark Renshaw isn't exactly a time - trial specialist so there was no surprise when he finished more than 3 minutes behind Meyer.

The list of favorites for today's race included big names such as the former World Champion Michael Rogers, BMC's talented young rider Rohan Dennis and Sky's Richie Porte.

i.imgur.com/fAgMIc1.png
Richie Porte was seen as one of the big favorites before the race


Quite surprisingly though, only Dennis was able to beat the early time of Cameron Meyer, while Richie Porte didn't even feature in the top 5.

Australian Championships: Road Race
i.imgur.com/338Cusm.png


Given the hilly terrain and the amazing team behind him, all eyes will be on Simon Gerrans for today's race.

With no reason for him to wait for the final kilometers of the race, Mark Renshaw decided to have a go in the breakaway. The only rider who joined him was William Clarke of Drapac. The duo had no chance against a perfect timed chase by Orica.

i.imgur.com/BRCwm3u.png
The two escapees


With little over 20 kilometers left from the races, Simon Gerrans made the much anticipated attack. Despite the best effort of a few riders behind him, no one was able to follow him at first.

i.imgur.com/gWveBgn.png
Gerrans making his move


A chasing group consisting of four riders (Richie Porte, Adam Hansen, Michael Rogers and Nathan Haas) was created behind Gerrans. After a few moments though, Haas and Porte left the other behind to do the chasing on their own. Rogers and Hansen would be eventually caught of what was left from the pack.

And their move proved to be good one as just inside the final kilometer, they managed to catch Gerrans and outsprint him on the finish line, with Richie Porte taking a great an unexpected win for Team Sky.

Racei.imgur.com/EgEjC.png Tour de San Luis
Category2.1
InfoQuite a few big names have traveled to Argentina for the Tour de San Luis this year. Mollema, Scarponi, Hesjedal and Amador will be fighting for the GC, while Cancellara and Gilbert are other stars who will start their season here. No GC hopes for Etixx, but with Cavendish and Tony Martin at the start, we should be in for a few stage wins.

Tour de San Luis: Stage 1
i.imgur.com/GHIpX4G.png


With such a flat terrain and with Maes and Bouet doing a wonderful job chasing in the pack, the breakaway had no chance to stay away so with 10 kilometers to go, we were heading to a mass sprint.

Tony Martin, Tom Boonen and Matteo Trentin were there, ready to put Mark Cavendish in the best position possible for the final kilometers.

i.imgur.com/OClij1B.png

Tony Martin did an amazing job pulling our train, leaving Tom Boonen in front of the pack with 5 kilometers to go.

i.imgur.com/iXpGa4D.png


The next in line of the train, Matteo Trentin, wasn't as strong as Boonen and Martin though and this allowed the MTN train to gain some ground, with Goss putting Farrar in the perfect position for the sprint.

i.imgur.com/pxqOy1v.png


Cavendish was forced to start the sprint from behind, a few positions behind Farrar, but as soon as he found the space he was unstoppable...

Farrar had no chance to hold on in front of Cavendish' acceleration and the Brit took quite a comfortable win in the end.

I have mixed feelings about this story. as long as it's going on, I'll constantly be reminded of me not winning this game (press 1 if you don't feel bad for Hb, ... SSJ2Luigi. sorry force of habit Pfft) which makes me sad but the stories section in PCM15 (and 14 for that matter) seems a bit lacking compared to 13 so another story is always good. which makes me happy.

I guess I'll act like I'm totally fine Wink

Tour de San Luis: Stage 2
i.imgur.com/PjoSnFD.png


Given the hard finish of today's stage it is very unlikely to see the same riders as yesterday fighting for the stage win, which means that we are going to see a change to the leader's jersey as well.

i.imgur.com/tujQUOl.png
Cavendish and his team - mates enjoying a day off


Despite Etixx not working at the front, the breakaway wasn't able to survive today either as they were caught shortly after the start of the final climb due to an amazing work done by BMC, Lotto and Trek.

With three kilometers to go, Philippe Gilbert decided there's to reason to wait in the pack and decided to attack. And it proved to be a good decision as no one was able to follow him.

i.imgur.com/sc6sCiR.png

With the final kilometer banner in sight, Scarponi and De Gendt attacked the rest of the pack, but it was way too late to get back into the wheel of Philippe Gilbert.

Yay, a story about my favorite team. Will follow this one.

I believe Renshaw doesn't stand a chance in TDU sprints. However Alaphilippe should be able to make top 5 in GC if his fitness isn't too bad.

Good luck!

It will be hard given the startlist. A top 10 is a more realistic goal, I'd say.
