Tour du Haut Var
stage 1
rated as flat.
for stage 1 we hope that Impey get a good result.
first attack of the day happens at the first mountain sprint, and Pieters takes it
6 keeps attack of the pack, even though Lpr is keeping a fast pace.
With 10 km to go Bookwalter rides away from the breakaway.
Impey is following the wheel of Lpr sprinter Daniele Pietropolli .
Then he saw Coenen speeding past and he follow his wheel instead.
Coenen is not a sprinter and he fulfills the roll of lead out well.
Impey easily sprints past him .
And barely stays ahead of Daniele Pietropolli.
Our second stage win and the first win on hard for me!
I also rode the trofeo laiguegllia.The race was almost done and then it crashed, to angry to ride it again i simulated it.
But i made screenshot and could make the story nonetheless and pretend nothing happend, what do you guys think?

Tour du Haut Var
stage 2
At the begin of the stage even before the first attack there is a crash and it's Corti
He made it back to the peloton without wasting to much energy.
Todays break again included Bookwalter. His aim is to defend his mountain jersey.
Another crash and again a barloworld rider this time it's Henao.
He also gets back to the peloton but it took alot of energy
The pace of the peloton is high that it shatters on the big hill.
All the favourites are attacking and Impey and Cardenas follow
But the breakaway is still 40 secs ahead of the favourites with 4km to go
The stage goes to the breakaway
And the gc too.

Next race on the calander is the 5 day giro di sardegna
this will be the first race of Soler and Hunter this season
stage 1
A flat stage.
There where a lot of attacks but Lpr (Daniele Pietropolli again *shakes fist*)
was controling the race so well none got away.
Until in the last 50 km there was a sole attacker.
Soler had a good day (+5) and joined him.
But they where caught,
Hunter followd Daniele Pietropolli .
atleast he got a top ten.
Stage 2
rated as flat but the hills will really hurt the none climbers.
A break got away and caught again before the last hills
the pace was so high the peloton was shattered
And an attack on the last few hundred meter of the climb.
Henao and Soler counter attack.
Soler blew himself up but Henao kept going.
First win for this talent.
And first in the gc.
Also i didn't attack downhill (that would be lame) but i rode with 100% dot .

stage 3
a hilly stage , we try to defend yellow and try to secure it firmly with henao or soler.
Break of the day
the last downhill Bakelants is attacking Cheula couterattacks
Lpr is increasing the pace and got them back in the peloton
Again an attack including most favourites including Daniele Pietropolli.
We let Soler and Cummings close down the gap for Henao.
Henao attacks he gets Bakelants with him.
But Henao easily out sprints him.
His second win.
This was a very strange stage didn't expect Henao outsprinting someone.
I had to double check if I was realy playing with hard.I'm getting good at pcm |

stage 4
at the start of the hill Proni attacks, get gets pas the break of the day and is leading at the downhill
But with 10 km to go he is also caught by the peloton.
Hunter did his best.
But he couldn´t compete in the sprint
Atleast Henao is still first.
Sorry for the lack of updates recently , school is sucking up a lot of time. |

the gc looks grim, if any of the spriners gets some bonus seconds i lost the jersey. I'm going for a top 3 with henao. |

stage 5
flat. So we need to do something about those pesky sprinters who threat are first place in the gc. Rossi and Bakelants.
The stage starts normal but at the first hill we let Soler, cumming and Borghini lead the pack. There pace is so high a lot of riders got problems to keep up
We do the same at the second hill and peloton becomes fragmented,
We hope that the two hill where to hard for the sprinters and that Henao got a chance to keep hist first place.
But the plan didn't work
atleast we got the second place.

Nice try,but a bad one(my opinion),the 2 hills were too early and with so many flat kms till finish,of course something like this would happen...but as you said before....you still have 2nd place,now you will need luck and better tactics to defend that 2nh place. |

Results of the month February
We got five stage wins this month, a nice start of our season.
Nobody gets close to Visconti , still the fourth place of Henao is a great achievement of this young rider.
ISD and Barloworld stand lonely on the top but topsport vlaanderen is closing in.
I'm surprised of the under achievements of the big cont teams (vacansoleil)
but maybe they get in action later in the season. |

I finally had some time to play Pcm again.
gp di lugano
This race had a surprisingly good starting field, including Valverde and Kirchen.
Soler will be our man with Bellotti being back up
An early break got away, but with 80 km to go they were joined by a attacking group including Boom.
With 25 km to go another group attacks including Nocentini
In reaction to all these attacks the peloton upped the pace and the breaks didn't last long.
With 15km to go Garate attacks, we let Bellotti counter attack.
But they also couldn't stay ahead of the pack.
At the moment they are caught Kirchen attacks, we let soler and Henao counterattack Kirchen.Also most of the favourites counterattack including Valverde
Soler couldn't keep up, but henao surprisingly did keep up.
But he was outmatched in the sprint.
This was our first meeting with the big guys and we showed them why we are second in the cont rankings.
