Not a great start but still you have a great chance of winning overall with Menchov, gonna be tough thoguh which in my opinion will make it very intresting to read and enjoy 
By lluuiiggii- Just a tip: it appears to me you don't export the results, you might want to try that, makes it much easier In the results page after the stage, click 'Export'.
And if you take out the names and circles under riders pics should be better You can either do this with Ctrl+U (takes out everything) or Tab/´ =)
I think this should help with the pictures 
And to have a nice neat tables (results), use the table button, beside youtube and choose 100%
