Sorry about the lack of posts guys, I have had a major week of problems surrounding my computer so I could not post any reports or upload any pictures at all! Hopefully the problems will be fixed over the weekend and I can continue with the Paris-Nice! |

I am really sorry about the lack of posting guys in the past month but as in my last post, it turns out the computer problem was actually a mega virus on my system which infected a hell of a lot of things. It took me a month to get it all sorted out and I even had to send it back to the manufacturer to see if they could remove the virus. They managed it in the end but could not recover most of the data on my hard drive so, because I had played through all of the Paris-Nice and Tirreno-Adriatico I lost all my screenshots and exported results. But luckily, I always backed up my save onto a memory stick after every session so I still have that .
I will now just give you guys the results and overall standings after each stage for both of these races.
My apologies, the story did not die, my computer did |

I've read a few pages and it looks like a very interesting story! I'm gonna start following now. Good luck, I like FDJ. Try to get Coppel to sign, he'd be a good gc rider for your team, or try and get Rolland for TDF or Giro next year? |

I was going to try and sign Rolland and thanks for the heads-up on Coppel I forgot about him . I'll have to see towards July-August time if I will have a big enough budget to get one of them |

Summary:
I couldn't have asked for a better result here at the Paris-Nice, 3rd with a Casar was an amazing achievement. Guaranteed we managed to get lucky with a brilliant opening timetrial, favourites losing touch at crucial moments and managing to sneak away off the front in the final few kilometres on Stage 7 . I have to hand it to Astana and Vinokourov though, there was no way on earth he was going to be beaten in that final timetrial by anybody, he rode like a man possessed and whatever I tried to make Casar do seemed to have no effect on the time gap to Vino. But, all in all, a fantastic race for us and with Casar going to the Milan-Sanremo in about a weeks time we should be in for a real treat! Now onto the Tirreno-Adriatico! |
