Catalunya is quite good to play in PCM10. Just take a good timetrialist and hill/mo about 70-73.
He shouldn`t lose time on the hilly stages normally and so the timetrial is most important.
Good luck.
Thanks, sounds like great advice, I'll try to send a rider with stats as you say, but I'm not sure I can because I have been using the PCM Planner.

@Thanks Roturn, the whole Paris Nice and Tirreno races have been disapointing, but I think MSR and the Vuelta Cataluyna will be more succesful.
@Batista thanks a lot. I'm really glad you like my style. Thing like that make me extra motivated.
Who are you using for MSR?

Rojas, Lastras, Gutierrez for sure, because they are like Rojas' sprint team. Maybe Kiryienka and probably a strong puncheur to follow any attacks.

Tirreno Adriatico Stage 7 [Final] :
So its the last stage of this years race, and we are glad. It was not one of our better races so far this season, and the least we can hope for is a good sprint result today.
Todays break was caught relatively quick and it was obvious the sprinters wanted a little warm-up for the next PT race of the calendar and the first Classic of the season, Milan Sanremo. We didn't bother having a rider in the break.
The overhead view of the sprint with 1.5km left. Cav is in 1st, Rojas in 3rd nicely placed behind Cav.
Just outside 1km left and the positions are still the same with Cav in front.
But a quick bolt of speed and Rojas passes Cav in the closing metres. Rojas clearly pulls off his best sprint of the season, which has in general made this whole dreadful tour (T-A) slightly better.

Obviously it won't be easy for anyone but the favourites have to be, Cavendish, Farrar, Boonen, Petacchi, Freire, McEwen, Ciolek, Bennati and Sagan, Allan Davis and of course our own JJ Rojas. The field is very strong and despite getting 2nd last year Cervelo have been left off the invitation list, as this year the organizers wanted to have smaller italian teams racing.

Haha yeah he was still German. But we've always had a soft spot for him in Australia even if he was officially German.
Haha, I love Australia too, i've never been to Germany.

Thanks everyone. Was the video a good idea?
Now some bad news, I've played the stage and it took 50 minutes to play and it crashed before the replay so I only have one picture of the finish.

Shame you have only a picture of the finish
