Didn't understand the real life finishes part =P
Good result for Rolland, surprised about the Lampre guys (Gavazzi on 3rd also =O)

It just means that where possible I will compare David's (from real life) finishes with David's (PCM) finishes, so for Omloop he DNFed but in PCM he finished 120th. I think its a good idea, hopefully you do too now that you (hopefully) understand it.
@Tuco- Thanks, too bad I didn't add La Roue Tarangelle to PCM. It would be tough to get David to win that in PCM.

Well, I would say that happens to almost 95% of the riders in the peloton when you near the finish line. This could be the life story of ever average cyclist.

I don't think I asked for your opinion!

 Cholet-Pays de Loire
My Plan: I want to survive and participate in the train for Turgot. Thats it.
Spoiler Thanks to me accidentally hitting the Windows button during the game it was minimized on X8 from 110km to 30km so my riders didnt get water and all died.
Our team accidentaly forgot the bottles today so we had to scavenge for bottles and it was really the worst cycling experience ever.
The winner was Traksel. He came from behind to win. All of Europcar finished behind the peloton.

 GP de Rennes
My Plan: I was told in the bus before the race that I should save myself for the sprint. The team DS thinks that the sprinters will be weak from the steep hill at the end and thinks I can pull off a sneak move.
Here's the team all together at the start of the stage, with the rain pouring down. It was a brutal day of off and on rain.
The winner is Dumoulin but Arashiro wass just a milisecond too late starting the sprint or else he would have had 2nd.
Results:
| Rank | Name | Team | Time | | 1 | Samuel Dumoulin | Cofidis, le crédit en ligne | 4h46'41 | | 2 | Anthony Geslin | FDJ | s.t. | | 3 | Yukiya Arashiro | Team Europcar | s.t. | | 4 | Guillaume Blot | Bretagne - Schuller | s.t. | | 5 | Jure Kocjan | Team Type 1 | s.t. | | 6 | William Bonnet | FDJ | s.t. | | 7 | Florian Vachon | Bretagne - Schuller | s.t. | | 8 | Frédéric Amorison | Landbouwkrediet | s.t. | | 9 | Benoît Vaugrenard | FDJ | s.t. | | 10 | Matthieu Ladagnous | FDJ | s.t. | | 11 | Reinier Honig | Landbouwkrediet | s.t. | | 12 | Jacek Morajko | CCC Polsat Polkowice | s.t. | | 13 | Tomasz Kiendys | CCC Polsat Polkowice | s.t. | | 14 | Romain Hardy | Bretagne - Schuller | s.t. | | 15 | Christian Poos | Team Differdange - Magic-Sportfood.de | s.t. | | 16 | Jens Keukeleire | Cofidis, le crédit en ligne | s.t. | | 17 | Denis Flahaut | Roubaix Lille Métropole | s.t. | | 18 | David Veilleux | Team Europcar | s.t. | | 19 | JoaquÃn Sobrino | Caja Rural | s.t. | | 20 | Alexandre Blain | Endura Racing | s.t. |

Dumoulin is usually unbeatble in those small French races, so third is great. And 18th is quite pleasing.

Thanks both, David did very well in leading out Yukiya, I thought and maybe he can go for it all himself at Finistere. Dumoulin is very good in these small french races. I wonder if his size plays a part in these "small" races.

MSR Results
The race was nearly a dead heat so it took nearly a week to actually decide who had won (just go with it, I sorta forgot to post updates about the classics). But now we can saw that the Manx Missile Mark Cavendish has won. With shades of Taylor Phinney and Guillaume Boivin, Mark narrowly beat Tom Boonen.
According to this photo Cav knew he had it all along yet Boonen nearly made Cav look like a young Erik Zabel.

Yeah Amgen decided to pay a lot of money to sponsor the race this year. Herbalife also pitched in and thus thos pesky italian sponsors were trashed.
Who's ready to see Vittel sponsor the Giro?
Lol at 'took a week to decide who won' xD
It was very close, and the UCI decided to work on the Conta case a little more, which led to a lot of sitting around doing nothing until they remembered that they had to look profesional even though on the inside they know they aren't, so they got a little insecure and thats why it took a while.

Cobbled Classics Results
With much surprise, Pozzato won the Tour of Flanders. He beat Flecha by nearly 2 minutes and completely dominated the race. He had time to celerate as he closed in on the finish line just like Cancellara had done last season.
Now at Paris-Roubaix we had someone by the name Filippo win again. He beat out the race favourite Fabian Cancellara by 2 minutes again and clearly showed he is the best cobbles rider this season. Obviously this has to be Pozzato's prime season because winning these two classics in the same year doesn't happen much, even if it did happen last year. But the big story is Cancellara. Is he planning to peak for another race this year? Does he want to try and win the Tour de Suisse? Because finishing 2 minutes down in both races when your the favourite is not normal.
We hope to see you at the start of the Ardenne classics.

 Tour du Finistere
My Plan: The team brought Arashiro and Turgot for the sprint and Rolland and Gautier who is just coming off injury for the hills so I was able to attack freely.
*My game crashed so I only got a few pics and the results couldn't be exported*
With 50km to go I made an attack. The break still had 2 minutes lead on the peloton but I went anyway. But thanks to someone not being on my side today I couldn't even get away. My bike went about as a fast as molases and I never got a gap. (Then I went on the dot @ 92%) I tried everything but still couldn't get away so I fell back and three seconds later 5 riders attacked and gained time easily. I'm not sure why because I was better than them on hill and acceleration but whatever.
Traksel the CT leader takes home another win. Why oh why did Vacansoleil get rid of this guy? Turgot gets 10 I finishes 48th.
