I started new game with same team..liked to have rider for any race. And that Columbia thing is atemptingThis is strange to play and no post this for story (I didnt have done this over a year)..always moments to come when I try to push ctrl T to take screenshot.
Good luck for you..I personaly have still a problem with sprints. Any new game make it harder..but this is what I also like. |

thanks everyone
Tour Down Under
Stage 2/6
After yesterday's amazing preformance we just hope to keep our leader jersey today, but with a very hilly stage it will be hard. Tactic is just to let everyone else work since we don't have enough strong hilly riders.
Columbia's manager where not really awake after the party last night and missed that 21 riders broke away from the peleton with around 40km left. Immidietly CSC jumped to the rescue though and started to chase after.
Most riders had been caught, but still a few are away, and Columbia's sprinters is starting to get a bit tired. Will we lose the jersey already?
Group is back to normal again and everyone is preparing for the sprint. Cavendish is dead tired and won't be able to participate, but Eisel is up there, so we still have a chance.
A small group including O'Grady got away, with Eisel just missing it, and we have now lost our chance for the podium today, so who will win?
Haussler is leading the sprint, O'Grady is in 4th place at the moment, and looks to not have enough power either today. Eisel is second in the peleton sprint after Vaitkus.
It's Haussler who takes a strong win and grabs the leader jersey as well from Cavendish, the young sprinters are dominating in Australia. Eisel takes 7th on the stage which is a decent result.

I'm liking this so far. Just promise me you'll get me a picture of Grabsch from the side when you do a TT. That german kit is gorgeous from the side B)

That's some bad luck

Tour Down Under
Stage 3/6
Muller didn't really get along with the riders in his break, and decided to go solo with 85 km left of the stage. That could never end well, could it?
No, and with 10km left the peleton was trying to get the best positions, which ment Haussler to most people. Eisel was trying to lead Cavendish to a decent position, but that wasn't working so well.
Eisel is on the wheel of Chavanel when the sprint started, Cavendish was a bit back on Haussler's wheel, and didn't seem to have a chance. Again our hopes where to Eisel.
With 1,7 km left it looked great for Columbia, only Chavanel and Fischer seemed to be able to beat us, but Eisel looked to be the fastest.
Damn, he had to take an extra few meters to get past Chavanel and just missed out on the win. Fischer takes it this time, but 2nd place is still a good result and Eisel now took the points lead with 1 point.
5th place for Cavendish and yet again a good team effort, no one seems to dominate really with different people on the podium every day. With 3 stages left it's still a wide open race. |

Almost! Good story.. Just try to take out those circles bellow the riders and the names, you forget to take off the names sometimes.. One more thing.. Make screenshots closer to the riders.. The camera is too far. Not criticating, just giving some opinions I think would make it better |

Very unlucky weith Eisel.
To expand on AK4_Contador's point about the circles under the riders, you can turn them off by pressing the # key, or whatever is to the left of the Enter key on your keyboard, if you wish.

I have removed the circles under the riders during my last played stage.
Tour Down Under
Stage 4/6
Van Impe was solo for a very long time, but it wasn't ment to be and he was caught with around 20km to go, 4th stage in a row that will end up in a sprint.
A very chaotic finish, with Columbia having big problems getting any rider in a good position. Yet again Eisel seemed to do this better then Cavendish for some reason, and therefore he was our hope again.
Eisel follows right behinf Rojas, with Silence-Lotto leading that train for Van Avermaet. Cavendish followed Fischer and both is a bit back at the moment.
Van Avermaet has nice lead with 1,4 left, Eisel is boxed in and can't get forward. No win today either it seems.
He takes the win, and O'Grady shows himself again and takes 2nd place, Eisel ends 4th today and keeps his points jersey for stage 5.

Do you actually get boxed in on the game then so you cant sprint as fast if people are all around you. As on the old game you used to just go through them?? |

no, you got boxed in as well in previous games. The only way you didn't get boxed in was if the only guy blocking you was the one ahead of you. That's the way you can go through.
Didn't you often think it was strange that such a fast sprinter somehow wasn't going very fast in the middle of a sprint? he was boxed in.
