Although the last step lost to Contador, so do not know if I'm that good.
I look forward to seeing your Vuelta too. I follow you |

STAGE 9 - Flat Stage
The stage was perfect for Cancellara. The last km ended in slight increase, even your style.
So I launched an attack on the final climb.
When it seemed that he had won ....
Spoiler Antón appears out of nowhere and wins the sprint.
Bennati is third. (2 riders on the podium)
Stage 9 Classification:
STAGE 10 - Flat Stage
This stage would end the sprint. Bennati was my bet.
However, it was even better. Ranked first and second for Radioshack.
Stage 10 Classifications:

STAGE 11 - Hilly TT
Today was practically impossible to keep Frank red jersey. Contador is at the peak of his form and is a serious candidate to win this TT. But beware, there are still a Cancellara.
The attention was focused on these two:
On the first count, then Contador sealed the fate of the leadership of the Vuelta.
In the second count, Contador seemed to keep going on fire.
Notice the incredible position of Frank. Cancellara was unstoppable in the final. 7 of the 8 runners Radioshack in TOP 10 fantastic.
Stage 11 Classification:
General:
Spoiler 29 seconds behind. Still perfectly possible.
The next few days will be hectic.

Contador is suppose to win right  , the question is only "against who did he win? "

Oh yeah, i asked a question in my post about "how to edit images".
For example those "stage profiles", when you edit those, do you use that Imgur.com edit function?
In Imgur.com when i want to save the edited image i get a strange .jpg?1 extension, and the link doesn't work here on the forum.
thanks in advance
Contador can not win, I will prove to you that Frank is better 
Do not quite understand your question. To edit the stage profiles, I just do print and then cut out what interests me. Do not use Imgur to edit anything.
In imgur,when you do upload the image, is provided several links, you select the option that is for forums, BBCode. and copy.

STAGE 12- Hilly Stage
This stage seems ideal for sprinters, but notice the arrival. A ramp over 20% gradient! The last Km promises spectacle.
My mistake in this stage 12 was not having chased the trail. In the sprint, Hoogerland won the stage, in an attack early on.
Now it was the turn of the peloton reach the ultimate Km
On the way up, beginning to stand me in front of the group with the help of Horner. Notice the terrible position of Contador (Red jersey).
In this image you can see better.
Thus, I go to the sprint with some edge and energy.
Was it enough?
Spoiler Yes ! Frank beats Contador !
Stage 12 Classification:
General:
12 seconds won, it was not bad!
P.s: Good job Kayzero |

Today was a quiet stage after the exploits of stage 11, but at least Frank closed the gap on Contadors lead on the GC |

Awesome Vuelta scoup. I can't wait to see what will happen in the stages , 14,15,16,17,20. Maybe i should not tell you about what happend in my Vuelta, so i'll put it in a spoiler so you can read it after you done with your vuelta. But if you're interested in an outcome of a different simulation, read this spoiler:
Spoiler In my vuelta contador totally dominated those stages. Competition was very strong, Rodrigues, Valverde S.Sanchez were all in good form, but in those mountain stages Contador destroyed them. i think he had like 8'00 lead in final general classification.
by the way scoup i can't believe you played that Giro on hard, i say this because i play on hard also, and till now my results in my game are very realistic...(example) i would never be able to win vs a rider with climbing 81 when my guy has climbing 79. (assuming they both have great fitness)
Keeping up in most of the cases- is no problem, but winning...maybe 1 in 10 races if i'm lucky (my guy will need +5 form or something).
Could also be that i'm doing something wrong, and i'm just an average manager with average results 
Oh yeah and wich database do you use?

-I have 2 databases, the latest PCMdaily and one that got me called "Vrai Norns 1200". The last one only changed the name of the riders.
-Yes you are right, the next steps will be fantastic. Missing 5 mountain stages where I have to give everything.
-I read your spoiler and does not surprise me.  Contador is the best climber of the PCM, if not for the stupid artificial intelligence, in some cases it could resist my attacks. But I also have to take into account that he did not run all season to prepare for the Vuelta. So, it will be a great challenge that second half Vuelta.
-In the Giro, you have to be more cerebral if you're playing with a reasonable climber, you can not attack at random and you have to know who to counterattack. What  Klöden had the advantage that it was at the peak of his form and in the TT did not facilitate anything, which led me to buy time.

I could not do much more, the important thing was able to steal some time.

STAGE 13 - Flat Stage (Quick Simulation)
A break of 3 men, allowed Txurruka won the 13th stage. With, interestingly, 13 minutes ahead. Bennati was 5th.
Stage 13 Classification:
There were no significant changes in general, unless Txurruka became 4th. |

STAGE 14- Mountain Stage
One of the hardest stage that I made so far. AMAZING! It is worth reading.
When missing 17Km there is a fall in the peloton that reaches, imagine, Contador!
This was the situation:
Spoiler
E1-Group of Talansky E2-Group of Daniel Martin
E3-Group of Morabito P- Frank Schleck A1- Contador
When all seemed quiet, Contador began the show. Reenters in the peloton.
And so it continues ...
Hey Frank ! Look who's behind you ...
Contador must be exhausted then started to increase the pace.
Only 6 riders resist.
When RodrÃguez exhausts her energy with a brutal attack. I have to fight back. Antón counters too. Contador seems finished.
But what is this Contador? Dupont is left behind.
Contador was chasing me. Play all my cards with one last attack.
Latest Km, Frank goes ahead. Rodriguez can not fight back.
But look at this, Antón is caught.
Rodriguez also sees Pistolero pass him ahead.
What an amazing recovery! Frank is in trouble ... Who will win?
Spoiler Frank did it again !
Stage 14 Classification: (Amazing Horner and Fulgsand)
General (Look the gap between Contador and Frank):
I could have won the stage, but Contador was the real winner, not having already lost the red jersey today. What a fantastic stage. I've never seen anything like this.

STAGE 15- Mountain Stage
Contador suffered from the great stage yesterday.
This was the situation in the last 11Km.None of these groups would resist.
Contador began keeping a strong pace to the start of the climb. Started to scare me.
Contador starts to fall behind, and Horner help me to increase the pace.
I was preparing my attack, and here it is.
Contador could not hold on, meanwhile the escapees had been caught.
Purito again, is left behind.
In the sprint, was crossing the line alone.
Amazing win !

It's not over yet. |
