Race Report
Australian Championships
Today's breakaway consisted of three riders, Z. Dempster (Netapp) J. Cantwell (Drapac) and J. Clarke (United Health Care)
With 23km to go Porte, Evans, and Gerrans attack and catch up with the morning breakaway.
At 20km to go Michael Rogers attacks away from the peleton in an attempt to catch up to the favourites!
At 11km to go Rogers manages to join the group, but just when he gets on to Dempster's wheel, Porte and Gerrans attack
Evans manages to join the two front runners with 9km to go
2km after Evans joins the small group, Gerrans attacks away!
Gerrans manages to maintain the gap down to Evans and Porte and he wins the stage.
Here we can see Gerrans accepting the bouquet and raising his arms in celebration, what a great day for him!
Top 10 1. Simon Gerrans: Orica Greenedge: 3h56’00
2. Cadel Evans: BMC Racing: + 30
3. Richie Porte: Team Sky: s.t
4. Jonathan Cantwell: Drapac: + 1:34
5. Jonathan Clarke: UnitedHealthcare: s.t
6. Michael Rogers: Tinkoff Saxo: s.t
7. Zakkari Dempster: Netapp: + 2:58
8. Simon Clarke: Orica Greenedge: + 9:52
9. Adam Hansen: Lotto Belisol: s.t
10. Matthew Goss: Orica Greenedge: s.t
If anyone knows how to make results look better than this please tell me. |

Try using 100% width table (https://prntscr.com/3x25hh) to make results look better and clear. Good start!

Why didn´t you go to the Aussie TT Championships?
I think you have a weak squad for this race...

Not really, Sorensen can easily win this with good usage of energy and smart tactic. Kump can be a good pick for Top 10 on sprint stages too, so it's not a weak team at all.
Good luck in Argentina!

I agree, Chris is a great climber and Kump is actually one of the best sprinters here |

Good luck in Argentina! Try checking if the Aus TT Champs is not later in the year. There was the same issue with PCM13

Just to let you guys know, I'm gonna delay this story until after the TDF as I'm doing my TDF Team Game at the same time as the real life Tour De France, I will then continue the story until July 30th when I will be going on holiday for three weeks. Hope to keep this story as active as possible after those two pauses. |

The start was promising, so I hope you will continue after the Tour, as you now have "promised" |

Race Report
Tour De San Luis Stage 1
It was a sunny day in Argentina as the riders prepared to face a 165 km stage
Today there was a break of four containing Kurek (CCC) Lemoine (Cofidis) Balykin (Rusvelo) and Kuchynski (Katusha)
The first intermediate sprint was taken Lemoine who took 6 pts, he was followed by Balykin who took 4 pts and Kuchynski who took 2.
The next sprint was taken by Balykin followed by Kuchynski and Lemoine.
With 11km to go Cyril Lemoine decides to attack away from his breakaway companions
However with 4km to go Lemoine was reeled in by the peleton
The final sprint is launched!
Van Hummel wins! Duque comes in second followed by Alaphillipe.
Top 10
Position | Name | Team | Time | 1 | Van Hummel | Androni | 3h30'00" | 2 | Duque | Colombia | s.t | 3 | Alaphilippe | Omega Pharma | s.t | 4 | Clarke | Orica | s.t | 5 | Fernandez | Garmin | s.t | 6 | Corbel | Bretagne | s.t | 7 | Belletti | Androni | s.t | 8 | Yates | Orica | s.t | 9 | Poels | Omega Pharma | s.t | 10 | Van Asbroeck | Topsport | s.t | 15 | Trusov | Tinkoff | s.t |
Overall we did not have a great day, our sprinter Kolar's legs were not alive today and they failed to show a good result, hopefully on stage 2 we can more success. |

A mixture of a bad DB and a lack of motivation, this story is over. I might try again if I have the motivation, But that will be a different Story |
