I think the late jesleyh started with that in EPIC and I asbolutely loved it!
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Love this race! And this year we finally have a decent cobbler (who is missing from the preview btw). Teunissen doesn't really have a chance of winning, but a top 10 should be possible.
Looking forward to this.

Feel free to give it a go  Not necessarily a dumb thing to spread the fun out

For those of you online in the next hour, get something to eat, put the kettle on/open up some Belgian beer, and enjoy a "live" report of De Ronde, starting soon 
Before we start, let me thank Leon40 for creating this truly gorgeous stage

Nice to see Van Niekerk in the break. Really like his performance so far this season with plenty of breaks, so he's been good in "his role". Hopefully Wisniowski will still be near the front, even though we don't have to do anything in the peloton.
Edit after part 2: Great reading so far, loving the details.

Ooooh, starting to get selective. I guess no mentions is a good sign...

I can't believe Declerq couldn't even make a 60 rider selection. Ridiculously shitty AI treatment here, the entire team must've done a Voeckler at the back and got surprised by cobbles on the route. Even worse that it's Benoot's fault.
What a shame, because I couldn't care less anymore now.

Tough luck for Grieg with Wisniowski... he looks like recovering the lost distance quickly, but he might pay for it later unless he has a super day.
And Vanbilsen unlucky too.
Btw, i would space a bit further each post, so you can actually read and react to it without rushing your comment

All of a sudden my guys have team strength. Marc De Maar making the 20 man group is hilarious. He's still got it!

Have to admit that a report looks much better if the reporter as a PC that can handle running the game on full graphics 
Another duel Bewley-GvA for the win it seems

VSB gone, but I'm still happy for this performance in a monument. Plus having Nolf involved finally makes it feel like I brought 2 80+ cobbles guys to a cobbles race, even though I've been doing that all along.

Is this a crack at my old PC or a compliment? Everything is on medium for me in every report I do, with realistic sun rays (what makes it 5x better imo), display roadsides, quality of spectators, and realistic/reccomended filters and colours. Anything more (and sometimes even with this) and my PC can't handle, but I don't use it for anything much other than PCM really so it is running only that

Ugh, seeing a group of five almost coming together, I fear that the puncture destroyed our chances to get a really good result here. Go Stallaert!

Surely the refrain of any PT manager with nobody at the front

Don't tell me you're all leaving just before the finish?

Wow, that was surprising. A 5-rider sprint in Oudenaarde. Stallaert isn't as fast as Bewley, but you never know what can happen if he starts the sprint ahead...

In a good way, comparing how good looking is in the pictures of this race to my own reports
