At the moment I'm playing only this carrer so every time I play pcm I play this carreer and then post the stages. It's a lot more interesting to post the races and discuss with someone about them than just play them and nobody find out what did you done... |

GP Costa degli Etruschi

We were there, in front

But sudenly Van Emden lost Hincapie's wheel. So Eisel and Greipel have now no chance to win today

Liquigas performed very well today

Seeing that he is our last hope, Hincapie goes after Chicchi and Fischer

Last corner...

Hincapie isn't a great sprinter so Chicchi gets the win after a magnific work from his team-mate Murilo Fischer

Results
1. Francesco Chicchi Liquigas 3h47'39
2. George Hincapie Team Columbia s.t.
3. Graeme Brown Rabobank s.t.
4. Olaf Pollack Lampre s.t.
5. Murilo Fischer Liquigas s.t.
6. Marco Bandiera Lampre s.t.
7. Gorik Gardeyn Silence - Lotto s.t.
8. Óscar Freire Rabobank s.t.

Tour de Langkawi Stage 7

Other teams ruled the sprint today cause we couldn't make a sprint train, probably that happend because of the small hilly terrain that we had today

So Cavendish has to do all by himself. Better form of the day for him than the other sprinters of the team

He has now a good speed but it's too late, he's far from the first riders

Hunter gets the win

Cavendish just 6th and he lost the yellow jersey

Stage
1. Robert Hunter Barloworld 4h11'22
2. Mikhaylo Khalilov Garmin - Chipotle powered by H30 s.t.
3. John Degenkolb Thüringer Energie Team s.t.
4. Uros Murn Adria Mobil s.t.
5. Ángel Vicioso LA - MSS - Póvoa de Varzím s.t.
6. Mark Cavendish Team Columbia s.t.
7. Steve Schets Topsport Vlaanderen s.t.
8. Jure Kocjan Perutnina Ptuj s.t.
9. Krzysztof Szczawinski Miche - Silver Cross s.t.

Tour de Langkawi Stage 8

Hunter attacked early on the last climb (?!)

Ignatiev attacked early too.

And a lot more riders...

3 riders that were in the day's breakaway are still in front

Ignatiev and a lot of the attackers are caught

Only 3 of them survived and they caught the escapes. So 6 riders are now leading the race

Rogers attacks!

He catches the front group just before the last kilometre

The sprint starts, but Rogers didn't had time to get a good position there

Klimov wins. Rogers third

only one stage 78km the flatest stage I ever seen, just like the last one in TDU.
And Ignatiev was -5 form of the day and Rogers -3. I think that affected my result |
