@Jesleyh
my variation of PCM logic, call it SSJ2Luigi logic
similiar reason why Sagan, Sarmiento and Malacarne are there. Roux only lacks the mountain abillity while the others lack a TT abillity
like tradition the Tour de France starts with the prologue. Not my favorite thing to do so I need to keep any time loss to a minimun
however the chain slipped up when I started so I already lost time after 100m. there wasn't much I could do besides not hitting the sides of the road so I didn't lose any more time. easier said than done
I eventually finish in provisional 85th, but many more had to finish after me
Sylvain Chavanel won the prologue, beating teammate Levi Leipheimer with 2 seconds. I finished in 182th place, only 51 seconds down on Chavanel and 46 seconds down on Boasson Hagen who now leads the Youth Classification

the starting sound effects are out of sinc because the intro lagged so I lost some frames 81 to be excact.
also if there is a rider that you want me to follow, example your favorite rider, please say so in a PM. there will only be a top 10 of each classification
@Ian
it's better to last on after the first stage then the last stage
@Daggen
that's true but it would be nice to get some early adventage though
sutty68
indeed, Anthony's 7th place is a great boost for Thibaut
JuanMotr
it can only get better from this point
ste_18
in the console game your only allowed to control one rider at the time but you can give orders too your teamates via the team radio. I have planned too only control Thibaut Pinot for this story so it's trully a one-rider story
. Great preview as well
