Thanks for all the positive comments! It feels nice to do this little story about Andy. I hope it'll be an exciting 21 stages and let's hope for the best!
By the way, I have edited his stats from the official database, how good/bad, that's for you to find out. The main question of the story is: will he find his usual form or not?
Next stage probably tomorrow! |

Stage 2 :: Bastia - Ajaccio
Profile
Still on Corsica, we go from South to North today. I wouldn't expect the favorites to start with the battle for yellow today, but we should be on our guard anyway.
The Race
The entire peloton was ready for day 2! Phinney was in yellow and BMC was ready to defend it.
Jens Voigt started the day with an attack!
It turned into a four man break: Wegmann, Pietropolli, Barguil and our very own Jens Voigt.
BMC set a steady pace. All four already lost 20 minutes yesterday, so were no threat to the yellow jersey.
I kept near the front, these stages can be dangerous. I mostly stayed in the area of Froome, the absolute favorite for this Tour.
When it was clear the breakaway would battle for the win, Voigt attempted to go solo, since his sprint isn't all that.
His all-out attempt failed, unfortunately. He was having an off-day, I'd say.
Wegmann and Pietropolli were clearly having a better day and broke away from the rest of the group.
Meanwhile, Saxo - Tinkoff took control of the pack. I was happy there were no late attacks. The war wouldn't be starting today.
But you should always be careful. One favorite loses more than 2 minutes in a crash: Valverde. Many sprinters were involved, too.
Pietropolli was the strongest of the break and took the win.

Today's abandons: Taaramae, Thomas, Matthews and Vigano. All caught up in the fall.
Who would've thought that? Two days, two breakaway wins. Let's see if they keep that up.
I'm happy I'm already at the front. Some have lost much time already, Valverde, Van Den Broeck... It may be a cliché, but if you can get through that first week without time losses, you're a big step closer to Paris.
See you tomorrow!
Andy

Miguel98 - Yeah, it's probably a bug. But luckily I didn't bring a sprinter. All the breakaways in the world can make it, things will still go down between Contador, Froome, Rodriguez... Andy will have his fight for yellow, breakaways or not |

Hi Ian following this, it is giving me an idea of whether to buy the game before the Tour or afterwards.
At the moments it seems as if Career is broken, so the only thing it is good for is playing stage races (I like sometimes just giving myself a Tour challenge).
Stage one breakaway is pretty stupid, stage two breakaway with guys who are not going to take GC is also not the biggest surprise.
The lack of time bonuses does make it interesting to see in real life who actually will be in the lead coming out of Corsica into the TTT in this and in real life!
You going to race the TTT?

Thanks for following
Well, Team Time Trials aren't really top class in PCM, so I best quick simulate it. |

Thanks if we can get into the mountains with only a small cutback, we have a fighting chance! |

Stage 3 :: Ajaccio - Calvi
Profile
Since tomorrow's the Team Time Trial, I wouldn't expect favorites to attack.
The Race
So, what did happen today? First of all, we took the reigns of the peloton, to keep the breakaway at a short distance.
Hesjedal hit the tarmac pretty badly, but was able to continue.
The breakaway was caught with 30 kilometers left to go. And then, Valverde attacked. Clearly looking to regain the time he lost yesterday!
We didn't want him to get much space. Kiserlovski and Monfort worked incredibly hard, I stayed in 3rd position.
But this man was gone, what a strong rider!
Big loser(s) of the day: Team Blanco. Surrounding leader Gesink they come in way past due!
The results are not on the internet yet, so I can't give them to you. Doesn't matter too much anyway, a fairly big peloton followed Valverde, who regained 27 seconds.
Tomorrow is way more important, the Team Time Trial!
See you there,
Andy

Gesink lost time? Surprise surprise. PCM really loves Gesink. Always too realistic if it comes to Gesink. |

TTT will be a major challenge for Andy indeed thanks!
I will upload the report shortly, then I'll watch the National Championships and maybe another stage later tonight. (to be honest, I want to get to that first mountain stage quickly, since there are 3 flat stages now ) |

The Team Time Trial. A first real test of my strength. The rest of the team has all lost time already so it's obvious I'm now definitely the leader of the Tour for Radioshack. But that also means I have to cross the finish line within the first 5 ones today.
The Race
It went a bit as expected. I hung on quite well until we turned around back to Nice. The wind was blowing head on, and I had troubles keeping in touch. I had to hang on, though, I couldn't lose time. The team "waited" for me.
The World Champions in this discipline prove their skill once again. In the end, we lose about a minute to them, which is fairly good, actually. If I find my climbing legs I had in 2010, I can get that back in the mountains!

This is neither positive nor negative. I already felt better in the Tour of Suisse, and the start of the Tour was pretty good. Today really wasn't my thing, so it's still a big question mark how it'll go in the mountains.
Three flat-ish stages now, and I guess we'll find out on Ax-3 Domaines!
Couple of big guys are in front of me now, though: Contador, Froome, Evans, Hesjedal, Van Garderen, Evans, Quintana, Rodriguez, Pinot...
See you tomorrow,
