Stage 1
The tour starts with a decisive stage to Mogollon. The final climb is really hard. Porte most be ready already on the first day. You wont win Tour of the Gila Today, but you can lose it!
The race is pretty calm until they reach the final climb. HTC and Garmin have been working to catch the breakaway. Porte is looking good!
With 4kms to go, Porte attacks. Only Gorka Verdugo (Garmin) and Nocentini (TT1) are able to follow.
Gorka reaches Porte and makes a counter attack. Verdugo is really strong and Porte isn't able to follow his attack.
Verdugo celebrates his victory and Porte comes closer. He only lose 10 seconds. What an suprising victory by Verdugo!

SRAM Tour of the Gila - Stage 2
Up and down alla day and a uphill sprint, which means a puncheur will probably win this one. Time for Arashiro maybe?
Garmin and BMC works in the bunch to catch the breakaway. The work is to no purpose. Instead the break splits and the final 3.cat hill and 5 rider are left. Thet are: Janek Tombak (HTC - Highroad), James Moss (Endura Racing), Taylor Phinney (Rapha Condor - Sharp), Iván Velascom(Bissell Cycling) and Sergio Hernandez(Jelly Belly p/b Kenda)
Phinney isn't strong enough in the uphil sprint and is 3rd. Jenek Tombak wins.
Behind Floyd Landis (!) wins the sprint and is 6th. Richie Porte is 13th.

SRAM Tour of the Gila - Stage 3
Stage 3 is a time-trail. Richie Porte has a chanche to tak ethe leader jersey today. He is only 18 seconds behind Verudgo, who is a bad time-trailer. We also got Taylor Phinney for the stage win. However, I forgot to export the results, and I have no screens either so I only write the results I remember.
Taylor Phinney was 4th. He is now 23rd overall.
Riding in the points jersey, Porte was 5th. A small disappointment but he took the overall lead from Vedugo.
Verudgo rode a descent time-trail. He is now 26 second behind Porte, which means he lost 44 seconds today.
Dave Zabriske won the stage.
Richie Porte leads the overall rankings.

SRAM Tour of the Gila - Stage 4
A hilly and short criterium. A puncheur will take the win today. Will Arashiro have a chanche or maybe Porte. It could be a good chance to take 20 bonus seconds for Porte and make a leap in the GC before the final stage.
All the breaks are caught. Phinney and Arashiro sets up the sprint for Porte.
Porte does a good sprint but Duque comes from behind with higer speed. It looks like he will pass Porte...
Something weird happends. Duque stops sprinting and Porte takes the win. Arashiro passes Duque and takes 2nd!
A win for Porte and 20 bonus second!

SRAM Tour of the Gila - Final Stage
The last stage is the hardest and most decisive stage. Garmis has a stronger team than us, will they might try to take back the jersey with some great team tactics?
Garmin splitted the pack. Luke Rowe dropped the pack in the final cat. 1 climb and Richie Porte was the only Rapha rider who managed to stay within the first group.
After the split it seemed like the Garmin riders were to tired to attack. Instead Porte attacked for the stage win at the last mountain sprint! Tejay van Garderen follows him.
With 3kms the pach caught Porte and van Garderen. Porte is is tired but he only has to finish with Verdugo to win the GC!
Porte takes Nocentini's wheel and takes the 2nd. Nocentini (Team Type 1) wins the stage, Porte the General Classification.
Again, I forgot to export the results and it's to late to take a screen. But here is a screen who shows the GC.
The impotant thing is that Richie Porte won. No other Rapha rider was in the top 20.

@ RaydoN: Adda jersey to the game: https://pcmdaily.c...icle_id=91
If you mean the interface of the game when you write layout, I simply downloaded a inteface update. Then I changed all the orange details to pink with Adobe Photoshop and made my own interface.

Tour of California - Stage 1
A hilly stage around the Lake Tahoe. A beutiful and hard stage on high altitude. There is a chanche of snow and extreme weather conditions but everthing looks allright today and the sun shines!
Taylor Phinney is in the breakaway. He is in great shape but he misses his chanche to take KoM points. Instead Johan van Summeren (Garmin) takes 15 points and will ride in the KoM jersey tomorrow.
Chris Horner (RadioShack) attacks in the final climb. Porte realise the danger of letting Horner go and tries to follow his attack.
Porte and Horner are caught by the bunch in downhill selection before the sprint. Phinney and Arashiro are still in the bunch but only Phinney has energy left to make a small lead out for Porte.
Horner wins the sprint while a tired Porte, who burned all his energy in follow Horner at the last climb, sinks down to 6th. A good ride by Porte who has two days to recover before the climb to Sierra Road.

Tour of California - Stage 2
A boring flat stage. The first half is downhill and the last half is plain. The stage ends up in a bunch sprint on a wide road. Arashiro can maybe take a top 5, but don't expect any win.
Taylor Phinney is in the breakaway again. He wins one intermediate sprints and is 2nd in the other, which means he is virtual 3rd in the GC.
The break is caught and Phinney has problems to follow the bunch. Garmin and HTC does the pace.
Arashiro follows Greipel since the rest of the Rapha team are to tired to make a lead out.
Farrar wins the sprint in front of Swift. Arashiro is 4th and Phinney finishes with the bunch!

Tour of California - Stage 3
Another flat stage, and probably another top 5 for Arashiro while some of the top sprinters win.
Jonathan Tiernan - Locke is in the breakaway. As usual, the breakawy is caught after hard work by HTC and Garmin.
The sprints starts and Arashiro follows Matthew Harley Goss (HTC). Farrar is also in the top, will it be another win for the american?
Yeah, Farrar wins again! Arashiro is 5th, just behind big names such Goss and Greipel.
