A great first race, so far, to start of the new season. I think Danielson will hold on to take victory, and i hope Saul can get a podium spot to put two Americans on the podium.

So.... why is there a rider named Retired Retired. Is that a mistake or just because they needed an extra rider. I think it is hilarious. But I'm also very slow.

Best young Rider? I don't think Raisin is "young" anymore. My calculations have Florentino Marquez but I am not sure if Ochoa Quintero qualifies.

Ochoa Quintero is 25 in 2009, so he should be eligible. I thought the U25 jersey was to be scrapped this year anyway because the game years wrong? |

He will have been a rider last season but Sporting will have re-named him as Retired so it's easier for him to add new people next season. He will be there to fill up the numbers and/or be a part of the control team if Sporting isn't riding as Control Team II, which are awesome

If they had the most aggressive rider award like they do in races then I think Martinez should get it. He has been been very aggressive. He is always the 1st or 2nd to attack.

I disagree completely, youre being extremely biased there.
Someone like Cummings, Dyadichkin or Rutkiewicz would have it since they are so often in the breakaways.
With the young rider thing, the game still thinks its 2007 so judges the young rider on that. Unfortunately, theres no way to stop the jersey being used. Ochoa Quintero would be the wearer of it if it actually worked.

Nope. This game is broken. I mean "Retired" was in the break, thats a clear argument for rerunning the entire race.

My team won't show off our true potential until our 4 best riders come out. So I'm happy with a couple 2nd and 3rds and a top 15 in the GC.
