Thanks addy.
Here's my First stage report:
TOUR OF QATAR.
It's a Sponsor goal, The first 4 stages, my man weren't really in form so I'n not going to report the first 4.
But here's the Last stage, which I have to win as it is a sponsor goal.
The main Breakway get's caught, their maximum lead was 5 minutes.
The Sprint starts, Ciolek has the wheel from Kenny van Hummel, but the Predictor man in lead is McEwen, it's definetely hard to pass him.
By robert_psv
It's looking good for Ciolek now, he left Van Hummel's wheel as he starts to sprint.
Only Mondory and McEwen can block Ciolek's way to victory.
YES!!! Ciolek blasts away the rest to take a great VICTORY!!!! Sponsor goal Accomplished
By robert_psv
The 20-years old Ciolek beats guys like Freire and McEwen, looks promising...
As you can see, I still have some problems with the accesoires from the riders(light blue) because it's a custom team.
Ciolek takes a great 2nd place in GC.
By robert_psv
Next report will be Paris-Nice.... |

Well.. ops: Because it's a custom team, and adding them as free riders so I could sign them was the only way to let it work, but I forgot to train them, it didn't go automatically, so they weren't in good form(such like 34) only Ciolek had something like 66 form, I had to be glad if the others make it to the finish in the peloton
And the strong squad: Also Gilbert and Schumacher di'dn't have high form, and their main races are in the first half of the season, and it was one of our main sponsor goals, so it was pretty important I did well in this race

Paris-Nice:
I've send Andy Schleck to P-N hoping he can get into the top5 GC.
And Cavendish,Rasumussen(Alex) and Ciolek for the sprint stages.
ITT:
Clement is our ** favorite. Main favourites: Dekker, Gutierrez, Wiggins.
By robert_psv
It's Gusev with the first good time.
By robert_psv
Alex Rasmussen is feeling great as he sets a great time with 70tt!!
By robert_psv
Alex Rasmussen only got beaten by Gusev, Cobo and Gutierrez. Andy Schleck rides a great TT and he made it to 5th. Ignatiev also rides very good with a 9th place. And we are now at the 2nd place at the Team Rankings, only Caisse d'Epargne was better
By robert_psv
Coming up... Paris-Nice stage 2. |

Paris-Nice stage 2:
Ciolek and Cavendish aren't feeling too great, so they're only * favourites.
By robert_psv
As always, there was a break, with a maximum lead of 7 minutes, but they got caught and the sprint starts. Cavendish has Haedo''s wheel, so far it's looking good.
By robert_psv
But Cavendish idn't have enough for a victory today, he only managed to get a 9th place, Zabel looks like he's got a rocket on his bike, he's just a little bit visible at the top, he took a great, well deserved victory.
By robert_psv
By robert_psv
Rasmussen still in a nice 3th place overall, but it's not going to stay like this, he has 51climbing and 51 hill.. Schleck also in a nice 5th place.
By robert_psv
We're only 1sec. behind Caisse, so I'm confident so far..

Please get Peter Velits a win! That would be awesome, but with that team, you could not only own the cont. tour, but if you were Pro Tour, you could own that too .

We ARE pro tour odenkos Peter Velits isn't really feeling good now, but i'll get him a win, he already levelled up so he's pretty good, I think I'm going to send him to the vuelta, hoping for a good result
And about Paris-Nice stage 3, forgot t make screeniesops:ops:
Zabel won it, and Alex Rasmussen couldn't make it to the finish in the peloton, so he lost his top3 spot.
Here's stage 4:
Cavendish is our ** favourite, as Ciolek is a *favourite.
By robert_psv
Boom managed to get into the main break
By robert_psv
Their maximum lead was over 10min, but then the Peloton started chasing, Boom took all the mountain points, and Sinner couldn't keep up the tempo Boom and Wrolich were riding.
By robert_psv
A lot of attacks came, but only Napolitano and Davis got away, and Napolitano took the win with a minute lead over the peloton.
By robert_psv
Top 10:

GC:

T-A Stage 1:
Sprinter stage, Rojas is our ** favourite.
By robert_psv
There was a break, bu ity was caught so the sprint could begin, Rojas seems too far away, as he has the wheel from Petacchi.
By robert_psv
Freire beats Bettini to take a great win, Rojas only 11th Next stage new tactic: Making a train myself.
By robert_psv
Next: Paris-Nice stage 5..... |

Tip for sprinting: If your sprinter isnt good enough to win by sprinting normally, just follow the better sprinters for most, if not all of the sprint - they will often 'drag; you into a better finish position.

Yes, that's why I followed Petacchi, but he didn't do anything, so I had to do it myself |
