just lucky contador had willing to sign me after all after 15th of october.
btw: after I signed contador I could have signed valverde and leipheimer as well but the I'd be too far over my salary cap 
now I think I have a good chance to win eindhoven TTT I just need to learn how to play TTT's

I'm in my 2nd season now but most races are still the same and the game didnt use the V2 version,.... only WC and most NC's changed... 
now I see the routes are unveiled throughout the season TDU, langkawil, besseges, TA, PN and giro have been unveiled now
I think the rest will follow

Alberto Contador came to me. He said he is feeling good at the trainings, and especially his mountain skills are better then last year he told me. He allso think his time trialing is improving after a test in a wind tunnel. He thinks this is gonna be a great season for him.
After talking with Contador and our sponsors, we have descided he will go for the Giro di Italia this year. He will try to win it. The route is very though with a lot of big mountains and he is attracted to it. He will allso participate in the april hilly classics and hopefully win one of them but we dont expect that.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our first race of this season will be the Tour Down Under Classic. Since some of our riders have spent there holiday in Sydney and Melbourne, they have asked me if they could participate there before returning to Europe and so they will. We dont expect to go for the podium there. It's just a first warm up for the riders.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luke Roberts is the new Australian Time Trial champion. He has beaten Shaun Higgerson and Cadel Evans in the 38km time trial in and around Ballarat.
Stuart O'Grady has won the road race before Christoffer Sutton and Bradley McGee.

Coming up: Tour Down Under Classic

Team:
The 3 top favourites are v. Poppel, Bonnet and Veelers. It's 34 degrees and theres a little wind.
The first attack of the day is made by Jurco from Milram, and he's follow by a lot of riders including Frederik Nolf.
There are a lot of attacks the whole race, sometime the pack is chasing, sometimes not. But then it's Eeckhout who got a gap.
Theres a chase groupe of 17 riders and the pack is around 1 minutes behind eeckhout. The chase groupe isnt working so ther are caught. Eeckhout still got around one minute.
Then theres a mass crash in the pack, no major riders down.
The sprint is on, Eeckhout still got a gap, can he hold it???
Yes, He can. Eeckhout wins in front of Tom Veelers and Martin Elmiger.

Did you forget to make Manan and Van Poppel sprint or something? Following the same rider for the whole sprint obviously hasnt worked for them

Bodrogi went with the early break but wasnt strong and was dropped at 15 km.
In the downhill my sprinter where too far back and when the break was caugth on the line it was chocolade jaques again:

Results are getting better
The break isnt working really well together and they are caugth pretty fast.
Meanwhile Manan and Hoy have trouble keeping up with the pace of the pack.
Van Poppel has a much better position then last race, he's in the wheel of top favourtie Allan Davis.
But it wasnt enough, the finish is close, just one rider pops out... Balducci takes it.

We hope to do a decent result here with Lars Boom as leader as he wanted to participate here. None of my riders has a top condition but we will see
Edvald Boesson Hagen takes in the early break as a lot of riders are dropped including manan and hoy again.
As Jos van Emden trys to put Boom in a good place to speed up the final hill theres a figth going on for Boom's wheel.
And the sprint is on. On the left it's Flecha with Ballan behind him and on the rigth it's Boom coming fast. Who will get it???
Boom obviously doesnt have a good condition left as he stops attacking, and sprinting is not his thing. The win goes to Flecha, behind him Gusev managed to pass Ballan on the line. You can see Flecha's teammate cheering for him in the background.

A World Champion in the Continental tour is bad but a World Champion riding for Bouygues Telecom
What team is Hagen riding for now?
