Ok thanks a lot. It works now. And boy are there a lot of buildings. That must have been it, but thanks for this.

David's Blog
So its the 8th of June, the Tour de Beauce is on the 14th. I'm back in Canada for now just training since I no longer have race to attend to....
Guess what happened at the Ryedale GP? Cyril Gautier won the race. We are very similar riders, so this frustrates me. I think I could have been able to win that race but instead, Im sent to Canada early.
I'm still not happy with the fact that I wasn't chosen for the Tour and especially because I dont think I was given a fair shot at a spot or atleast a spot to be a back-up rider if someone gets injured.
About my contract with the team, I almost want to go up to them and rip the contract up in front of them. I could still ride the Tour de Beauce even if I terminated my contract with Europcar, because the Canadian National team will be riding the race, and they'd make room for me. I remember at the start of the season, when everything was going great, and Kern, Arashiro and I all got along great in Oman. Those were the good days. I guess its because I was always looking forward to the races which I would get to be leader at, which at this point are not gonig to happen anymore. I don't like to sound like a spoiled athlete, but I think I might have more options elsewhere.
I'm about 15 days away from Nationals and from some transfer deals. I still haven't heard anything from Europcar management, but I do think they want to keep me.
Anyway more from me later.

Very interesting development.. is David going to lead a smaller team perhaps?
No non-Franco lasts long at the French squads!

He might, its also entirely possible he could stay with Europcar or go to a Bigger team. (Basically I'm not giving many hints just yet.)
Thanks.

 Tour de Beauce: Stage 1
My Plan: With this stage being the first it would be nice to stay out of trouble at the front. Likely Garmin, HTC and RadioShack will work for the majority of the day at the front, so that saves us some legs for the end, as we feel Chavanel is the best sprinter here at the moment, as long as he can get over the short hill at 7km to go.
At first we sat back and watched an 11 man break get away. We sat around as we expected HTC and Garmin to bring that move back and they did 30km into the stage. Then Bernaudeau made his move and no one followed. He rode for over 2/3's of the stage all alone out front, and at one point we thought he could stay away, but with 15km left he was brought back, and our focus shifted towards Chavanel.
7km to go and Chavanel is really have a hard time on the hill, so I assumed most sprinters would be having trouble. I quickly accelerated away from the group on the climb and Wegelius of UnitedHealthCare followed me.
A km later Tschopp also joined our group, and we set off on gaining a time advantage on all the other riders.
1km to go and we all gear up and sprint for the line. Tschopp has good speed behind me, and Wegelius has himself in first position.
But both of them die off in the final metres and I take my first victory of the year, in my home country! Can this get any better? My tactics went to perfection. Lets hope I can do well in the mountains on Stage 3.

Thinking those lousy Europcar Managers thought of not taking you to this race. It was pleasure to watch you life at last in Canada
Chapeau
Sincerely, your biggest Canadian fan.

What a great win for David!
That was a good tactic from you and it worked out perfectly. Well done, I hope that David will be able to continue his good results in his home race.
I really like this story. Great screenshots and very nice writing. Keep up the great work, I'm really enjoying it.

Pellizotti-Thanks, I think he did so well because of the nationality bonus. Its why Arashiro survived every climb in Japan. Look at Davids stats nown with +1 everything. And thanks for the compliment on my writing and pics. I'm taking extra time to perfect my pics and writing so I'm glad its being enjoyed.
DJP- Yeah it was such a shock, I thought he was about to be caught. Yeah I added the race so there are some minor bugs with the race. I'm not gonna tell you them because then it ruins it for you, like when theres a red pixel in your tv, and if you notice it, it distracts you for the rest of your show.
MreSuperstar, lluuiiggii, Roturn, Freitas, hellboy
Thanks, I'm very glad he won. And I love bananas (chocolate covered are da sh*t) so with so many, I dont think I'll go hungry. I also planned this win......nah just kidding. Thanks.
