It's going to be exiting to play the 3 GTs for the first time since I was promoted. My goals are Top 5 for the Giro and Vuelta and a Top 7-8 in teh TdF.
If everything goes well I might even go for a Top 3 in the Giro/Vueltaand Top 5 in the Tour. Besides, it's going to be a bit easier since Andy Schleck is without a contract and Scarponi is ALWAYS injured. |

Interesting start of the second season with my Rabobank career..
A stage 3 breakaway decided the Santos Tour Down under to my surprise van Avermaet won the GC because of that and Rick Flens of all people got a 5th place in the end..
February was a fast month since I only play UWT races in 3D and the rest is simmed..
L.L. Sanchez showed that he got in brilliant form quite early already.. winning both the Vuelta's a Mallarco/Andalucia and getting 3th in Clasica de Almeria
Boom's cobbled season started quite disappointing actually the whole squad was no factor at all at OHN and KBK..
March started of quite nice with 4 guys (Kump, Barredo, Bol and Kump) getting a top 15 @ Le Samyn and 4 guys getting a top 10 @ Giro del Friuli
Boom finally showed something at the Driedaagse van West-Vlaanderen but off course this race is perfectly suited for him..a 3th place for him.. Jos van Emden (5) and Coen Vermeltfoort (7) had a solid performance as well..
P-N and T-A next up.. |

Just won Giro d'Italia with Igor Antón, 2nd season at BMC. Beside GC i also won points and mountain classification, so it was kinda easy.
Befor this i won the three Ardennes classics with Gilbert (2nd time i've done - once in 1st season and now again). I'll try to win TdF with Evans, Vuelta with Antón and other classics with Gilbert. |

I've just won Il Giro d'Italia with Basso, 53s in front of Anton. We were at the same time before the final TT  |

Finished 8th with Evans in TdF. He was 81MO at the start of the season, but when the TdF started he had only 79MO. Too hard to beat Contador and the rest like this.
For Vuelta, i took Antón and he won, pretty easily (simulated this one). 4 minutes ahead of Joaquin Rodriguez. Pretty nice season again, i hope next, in 2014, to do every single sponsor goal. It's kinda hard because cobbled classics are not easy to win with Ballan against Spartacus, but i'll give it a try. |

Pretty good start to my 1st season since I got promoted. Won the Tour Down Under with Sagan and got the KOM-jersey with Nordhaug. |

Okay, so here are my results in so far with FDJ, I play on hard:
Fedrigo:
1st Down Under + 2 stages
1st Tour Haut du Var + both stages
1st Mediterraneen + 2 stages
1st GP Marseillaise
1st Les Boucles du Sud Ardeche
2nd GP dell'Insubria
2nd Strade Bianche
2nd Giro del Friuli
6th Etoile de Besseges
Hutarovich:
1 stage @ Besseges
2 stages @ Mediterraneen
1st Le Samyn
3rd Kuurne - Bruxelles - Kuurne
Rollin
1 stage @ Volta ao Algarve
Plus several Top 10s. I'm leading all rankings with a comfortable margin as I'm approaching Paris-Nice, the first real challenge. I change to extreme from now on, though, so let's see how that works out.

Lol good job cunego59 ^^ You'll need to get a lot of points before de GT because it'll be more difficult to get some good results over there |

With one stage to go in Paris-Nice I'm in 2nd place, 2 seconds behind Gilbert with Sagan.
Gilbert has won it the last 2 years now, but I will have to go for bonus seconds...

Have you considered doing the Ardennes with Kreuziger and leaving the early season stage races to Intxausti? He could get you some decent results there.

Yeah, I have considered it. I haven't given the season too much thought, but the only things that are definitive are the three GTs and the WC.

Hi guys
I have created a fictional Russian team; Gazprom-Lada. I took 20 riders, all without a contract at the start of the 2011 season. I just finished the Ruta del Sol, winning one stage (Michael Rasmussen) and finishing first in the Team Classement..Very nice because i am not very good at the game..Only problem is that going into March i am almost going bankrupt..does someone know how to fix this? |
