Great results, but you should export the results, it's easier than making screenshots of them

Will try that next time. Still sort of getting used to it though. Done this type of thing before with Football Manager, but its layout and use of Screenshots is quite different. Thanks for the suggestions though guys, very much appreciate.
Unfortunately for some reason, on Stage 3 of the event, F12 went up shit creek and decided not to give me any screenshots. So a quick summary is in order.
Travis Meyer got into the break of the day, and secured some points on the early KOM climb. Also in the break was Perez of Eusktael, Beletti of AG2R and Wautes of Vacansoleil .
With 30 km to go on the hilly course, numerous attacks came, first from Bakelants, then his teammate, the evergreen Jens Voight. Tiernan Loecke also tried his hand, but only 'the Jensie' could get away, in which he caught the morning break.
Coming into the final 10ks, Gerrans went across to the break, which had 30 secs on the field. He was protected by Meyer for the descent into the last climb of the tough circuit around Sterling, and then launched away from his compatants and went on to take the stage comfortably. Moreno Moser ended up getting 2nd, 40 secs off the winner. Leaves Gerrans nearly 2 minutes in front, with Goss in 3rd.

Stage Four
Nice flat stage today for us to get another win hopefully.
Christian Meier went up the road early, looking for KOM points. He was joined by Ubeto from Lampre, Bazayev from Astana, Stannard from Sky, and Vichot from FDJ.
At the KOM point, Vichot took the spoils, with Meier trailing in 2nd meaning he took the Mountains Jersey.
Meier picked up time at both sprint points, with him winning the first and finishing behind both Vichot and Bazayev at the second.
Liquidgas came to the front midway through the race to bring back the gap, and inside the last 30km, were joined by AG2R.
As the teams came to the front, the pace at the front stretched out the peleton in a long line. If you werent near the front now you would struggle to get there at all.
Both Liquidgas and AG2R burnt themselves in the severe crosswinds, so it was up to us to take control, and with 3km to go, it looked ominious for our competitors.
As Gerrans launched the leadout, Renshaw flew past, would Gossy be able to catch him.
Spoiler Another day, another stage win.  |

Stage 5 to Old Willunga Hill
A flury of attacks came with 5 riders originally getting away, with Rowe from Sky, Perez from Euskatel, Guitierez from Movistar, Hunter from Garmin and Ahlstrand from Argos Shimsano. Meier tried to get across to get points the first time up Old Willunga Hill, but couldnt make it across.
After the first sprint point, Dean went to the front to pull the break back.
As we hit Willunga Hill for the first time, we were well positioned for the fast descent.
As we descended, Liquidgas came to the front for their man Moreno Moser. They caught the remnants of the BOTD.
As the break was caught the peleton slowed considerably, which gave us the perfect chance to position ourselves right at the front. Though, the peleton was slow to react, and gave us a gap.
Gerrans seems comfortably out in front, looks like another win for him
Too easy.

Hard. Not many good riders here so it is a walk in the park.
Stage 6- Adelaide
As Weening could have jumped a spot in GC today, we thought we wuld get him in the break. Unfortunately, Blanco of all teams, with no GC players decided to shut down every break that had Weening in it. To our further frustration, they then let a break of 8 go up the road.
At the 55km point, Vaconsoleli came to the front and drove the peleton at a ludicrous 55kmph in huge crosswinds. Definetly weakened our leadout train, and Gossy.
Funnily though, Vaconsoleli's main sprinter Van Hummel dropped off the back. Oh dear.
As we cleaned up the breakaway, the last 5ks was more hectic that we thought. We broke up the peleton and the sprinters formed an elite group of 12, with all of them fighting for Gossy's wheel.
As Gerrans leadout Gossy, he hit the wind far to early, which meant
Gossy had to go early aswell. Surprisingly he got done on the line by Kump from Saxo Tinkoff
Sprinters
Mountains
Will do a press conference later.

That's young riders, not GC. My guess though is Gerrans

You would be correct.
Official Press Conference
Here we are today with Simon Gerrans, winner of the 2013 Santos Tour Down Under.
Simon, you must be pleased to have started the season so well once again?I cant complain really. As a team we dominated the race, and it really showed in how the way l was able to win three stages by considerable margin and how we had 3 lads inside the top 5 on GC.
This must be brillant for you of course, but surely you have on eye on the Ardennes classics and Milan San Remo this year
I am predominantly a one day rider, so yes its definetly an objective again this year to be successful. Hopefully we can be even more successful than we were last season in those races.
As a team, do you think you can better the teams overall performance in the UCI Rankings this year? The second year is always the hardest. There is always an added motivation in that first season, and momentum carries through the team during the early part of the season. We were brilliant in the early parts of last season and also finished the season very well. Hopefully we can improve on the performances at Grand Tours.
Thankyou for your time Simon, and goodluck for the rest of the season.
Tour De San Luis start tomorrow, here is the startlist.
Any predictions on stage wins. Matthews up there for the sprinters jersey. |

Keeping ourselves in the Southern Hemisphere for the time being, we are now off to Argentina.
Hopefully we can get a stage win.
Quick question, when you export the race results, where do they actually end up? Cant find them anywhere. |

So stage 1 is a sprinters paradise, so hopefully we see Kekelueire and Matthews start well.
A fast start occured to the tour, as a group of 8 went down the road, but the peleton moved quickly to cut the break to only 4 riders.
With 90km to go the pace started to move up as both BMC and IAM racing came to the front.
As we headed into the final 10kms we were well placed just on the back of the BMC and Katusha trains.
The fast pace though at the front of the peleton though burnt out there lead out trains and with 4 ks to go we saw our chance as Durbridge positioned our sprinters expertly.
As we hit a k to go Kekelueire came of Durbo's back wheel and unleashed the sprint of a life time. Which of the teammates would get up?
Spoiler Phenomenal performance
Both the lads are happy with their achievement
Fantastic stuff. Matthews will wear the sprinters jersey tomorrow. |
