I liked your Rabo CT story better, I really like your way of reporting etc. but this team is just too good, you didn't even did a serious race without winning it, and most of the times, you have at least numer 1to3 or something

Robert, you've written twice. You wanna be sure that he read it
Hum... About this team, I really believe that he should just change the level and it'll be okay. Whatever seeing how that'll occur.

I do agree with that.
I'm waiting for the PCMDaily 08 DB to come out and start a new story (again) with a fresh team. Probably P3Transfer Batavus as I really like how Traksel is preforming IRL. He is 1st in the Europe Tour.
After the Worlds I changed to Extreme

Some riders are gone, some came. Overall I think we improved even more, allthough it's a big shame Valverde is getting old. Our sponsor didn't change it's expectations, so it's the same as least year.
Our first races will be the Australian Champs with Sutton, and then we'll be in Qatar because Gilbert wants to race there. We'll probably take one of our sprinters and go for a stage or two and the points jersey. Maybe with some luck overall as well. |

I couldn't be bothered to play the Austalian ITT champs so I simmed it. Sutton did well.
Result
1 Mark Renshaw AMORE E VITA - MCDONALD'S 44'27
2 Mark Jamieson SOUTHAUSTRALIA.COM - AIS + 32
3 Christopher Sutton QUICKSTEP - INNERGETIC + 53
4 Michael Ford SOUTHAUSTRALIA.COM - AIS s.t.
5 Russell Van Hout ACQUA & SAPONE - CAFFÉ MOKAMBO + 1'24
6 Shaun Higgerson SOUTHAUSTRALIA.COM - AIS + 1'30
7 Cameron Meyer SOUTHAUSTRALIA.COM - AIS + 1'43
8 Sean Finning ACQUA & SAPONE - CAFFÉ MOKAMBO + 1'46
9 David Pell DAVITAMON - WIN FOR LIFE - JONG VLAANDEREN + 1'49
10 Jonathon Clarke COLOMBIA ES PASIÓN - COLDEPORTES + 2'08
Then the road race. It's a hilly circuit and Sutton should have a chance here, although there are no teammates to do any (chase)work.
And a break got away around 120km from the finish, and only 3 riders where relaying in the pack. So it's no suprize the break was going faster, so attacks came from the pack. Sutton countered and with 3 other riders he closed the 4 minute gap to be break. But because they where 4 favourites, the pack increased speed and was just one minute behind them.
More attacked came from the pack while the break was going pretty fast. There where 2 more riders who made it, and one of them attacked again. He got a small gap with just one lap to go and Sutton wasnt able to couter or close the gap so Crafword won before Sutton who won the sprint.
Result
1 Jai Crawford BARBOT - HALCÓN 4h35'06
2 Christopher Sutton QUICKSTEP - INNERGETIC + '12
3 Allan Davis CHOCOLADE JACQUES - TOPSPORT VLAANDEREN s.t.
4 Gene Bates BABES ONLY - VILLAPARK LINGEMEER - FLANDERS s.t.
5 Johnny Walker SOUTHAUSTRALIA.COM - AIS s.t.

probably
but my riders still have no condition at all (60 max) so I dont expect much. I'm sure there'll be better sprinter.

Just wondering, how big is your budget? And, how many of the riders are Absolute Leaders? |
