hopefully you're able to keep this going, something like this has been attempted many times before and almost always never started or got far.

GROUP A - STAGE 3 (Cobble stage)
Hello everyone! Here starts the LIVE! broadcast of this stage. The route is the Paris-Roubaix´s route... and the favourites are Tom Boonen ( ), Sep Vanmarcke (), Niki Terpstra ( ), Lars Boom () and Greg Van Avermaet () so we´re going to see a clash between Belgium and Netherlands.
At the moment, the classification is:
Netherlands: 70 points
 Spain: 56 points
Belgium: 38 points
 United States: 28 points
 Austria: 10 points
 Costa Rica: 0 points
 Portugal: 0 points
Attacks started. Mülhberger (), Stetina (), Gesink (), Silvestre () and Rodríguez () are the first attackers! Netherlands won´t push, I think...
Of course, Belgium is the team pushing at the front of the peloton...
The break opens a great gap (12 minutes), but Belgium starts pushing! First cobbled trajects and 10´30" for the break!
The poorest people in cobbles in now behind the peloton... and Belgium is riding really fast! Only 8 minutes...
Attack from Andrey Amador ()!
With 100 kms to go, The break has got a gap of 3´ from Amador (), who has got a gap of 3´ from the peloton.
Amador () doesn´t really need a lot of effort for catching the break! He do it with 95 kms to go, and the break now has got a gap of 4´45" form the peloton...
Terpstra () and Vanmarcke () attack! And in the break Amador (), Silvestre (), Rodríguez () and Gesink () open a short gap...
In the peloton noone wants to catch Vanmarcke () and Terpstra ()... so they open a BIG gap (more than 2 minutes)! They won´t be caught... Let´s see if the riders on the peloton don´t abandon...
Stetina () and Mülhberger () are caught by Terpstra () and Vanmarcke () in a cobbled zone... so they can´t follow them anymore...
The 2 biggest riders catch the break while Mülhberger () fall and is caught by the peloton, led by Eisel () Isn´t it better to attack?
Vanmarcke () and Terpstra () are now in the head... Amador () tried to follow them, but he couldn´t...
Eisel () finally opens a gap from the peloton... and they stop...
The Austrian rider catches Stetina ()... and he is 1´15" behind Gesink (), Silvestre () and Rodríguez ()! Austria need these points...
Situation with 60 kms to go...
1.- Terpstra () and Vanmarcke ()
2.- Amador () +1´45"
3.- Silvestre (), Rodríguez (), Gesink () +5´20"
4.- Eisel () +5´30"
5.- Stetina () +6´25"
6.- Peloton +6´45"
Belgium starts pushing in the peloton! And Eisel () now is ahead Rodríguez´s group!
Stetina () is caught by a very weak peloton... Only 19 riders...
Rodríguez´s group is also caught by the peloton... but they are 10´ behind Vanmarcke () and Terpstra ().
Tom Boonen (), Lars Boom () and Greg Van Avermaet () are attaking! While Phinney () is catching this group... Boonen () and Boom () attack! AMAZING RACE!
The race is very crazy and I´m not going to report all the stage...
Eisel () catches Amador ()! The Austrian leaves the Tico!
Boonen () and Boom () catch and leave Eisel () and Amador ()! It was a great idea adding a cobbled stage!!!!!
Belgium vs Netherlands! Who´ll be the winner?
7 kms to the head while Boom () attacks!!!
T-E-R-P-S-T-R-A!!!!! Second win for the Dutch rider! Congrats to SSJ2Luigi!

it pleasures me greatly to see someone in a Belkin jersey finishing second 
edit: I can't describe how happy I am right now 
edit #2: Boom beating Boonen is just icing on the cake

I love the reporting style.

Well, here I start with the LIVE! broadcast of thi 3rd stage in Group B. We saw an amazing 3rd stage in Group A, and the organization selected the 2014 TdF cobbled stage...
The classification at the moment is this:
 Switzerland: 56 points
 Ireland: 42 points
 Italy: 35 points
 New Zealand: 24 points
 Australia: 8 points
 Great Britain: 6 points
And the favourites... if Switzerland is first in the group, the greatest favourite of this stage is Swiss... He is Fabian Cancellara ()! Then, we have some outsiders like Geraint Thomas (), Ian Stannard () or Heinrich Haussler ().
Switzerland has got a really strong team, so they can control the race.
Some attacks, but Switzerland pushes at the peloton. They don´t want this breakaway...
Problems! He have a break, but a Swiss attacked too... Albasini (), Simon Yates (), Sergent (), Dan Martin (), Renshaw () and Visconti () are the attackers. The 6 teams in this Group attacked so... are we going to see a breakaway winning?
The peloton is riding really slow. Will Cancellara () attack as Vanmarcke and Terpstra did in Group A? We hope so...
Good! Great Britain wake up and pushes! The break has got 10 minutes and 80 kms left for them...
The gap is still 10 minutes and 70 kms left... maybe the break has got a lot of chances... or Cancellara () attacks or nothing...
11 minutes and 60 kms! 12 minutes while the cobbled sections start... 12´30"!
The break is going to win... Switzerland with Albasini () will get more difference maybe... 13 minutes and 44 kms!
Is now when Switzerland pushes?!?! WTF?!
Great Britain and Switzerland try to catch the breakaway but it´s too late... 10 minutes and 30 kms...
That great effort cut the group. Only 18 riders... but 9´30" of gap for the breakaway...
Paolini (), Haussler (), Thomas () and Cancellara () attack! And behind they stopped... So I think we have the 10 cyclists who will get some points...
8 kms for the break and they are waiting for the final sprint...
Haussler () falls! Bad luck! Maybe he could catch Cancellara´s group, because they aren´t riding fast...
Attack from Simon Yates ()! Maybe we are seeing the winner!
Martin () catches him! And Albasini ()! Yates () sprints while Haussler () catches Cancellara´s group...
ALBASINI () does it again! He was the fastest and strongest!

Weird Situation:
Switzerland won, so I'm happy, but what was Cancellara doing?
Anyway, 2 firsts, a seconds and an almost definite second group, we are going well, and Albasini is on fire.
btw: Great report!

Albasini and Terpstra, MVP!
Yes, Switzerland is almost in next round, I think that Cancellara will get BIG points in the ITT and if in the mountain stage win a breakaway, you could win another stage...
Edit: Thanks for saying "Good report"!!!!!!
Edit 2: I HAVE PROBLEMS! I have seen that the computer doesn´t select randomly the cyclists, it chooses always the same cyclists... so Froome and Wiggins seems that aren´t going to ride in next 2 stages...
Please, all the managers who wants all their best cyclists, make ONE startlist with 9 riders (or say which 3 you don´t want to be here). The riders you choose must be in the 12 you selected first... (Costa Rica manager doeesn´t need to do it)
That startlist could serve for next rounds also... not only for this
If you don´t select your favourite 9 riders, the computer will select them...
I delete Herrada, Antón and Sánchez

@Dippofix It´s not Paris-Roubaix exactly... it´s the cobbled stage of TdF 2014...
