Your gloats meen nothing. I found that for now I can enjoy non full screen mode and the lowest graphics setting, so:
Stage 3
Yeovil - Taunton
A surprise for the start of the day, as Rogers is in yellow! He finished better than McCartney in Stage 2 it seems. Kirchen crashed early on, but superb work by Piil brought him back
With a form of +4,Linus Gerdemann was pleased to be in the day's break and it looked promising with a 2 minute lead with 10km to go. It was down to 1 minute with 5km to go as Piil leads the Magenta train.
The sprint began with the break and the pack soon followedled by Hammond before Eisel took control.
Eisel led Cavendish to the front, passing the 5 remaining escapees with 1km to go.
And Cavendish finished it off!

2 Bernhard Eisel T-MOBILE TEAM s.t.

2 Tomas Vaitkus DISCOVERY CHANNEL + 3
3 Serhiy Matveyev CERAMICA PANARIA - NAVIGARE + 7
4 Ben Doy NAVIGATEURS INSURANCE + 9
5 Steven Cummings DISCOVERY CHANNEL s.t.
6 Michael Blaudzun TEAM CSC + 10
7 Jacob Moe Rosmussen TEAM GPS + 11
8 Pavel Padrnos DISCOVERY CHANNEL s.t.

13 Kim Kirchen T-MOBILE TEAM s.t.
Eisel now leads the Points classifcation and Burghardt maintains his KoM jersey.
I have decide to thumnail link the images, as PCM 07 screenshots come full size and as you can see are quite big!

He'll be in normal.
And of course, you should now be making Cavendish your sole leader
Great start anyway, keep Cavendish's wins coming
EDIT: How bad are those graphics

For Stage 4, got to 17km to go: Crashed. Did it again, Kirchen won, Crashed - Results not recorded.
Simulated and for some reason Cavendish did not take part in the sprint even though I told him to. Eisel was the best in 5th.

Good story. I had the crash problem but the patch has sorted it out. I play with shaders on medium just in case though

Stage 5
The break has gone and with 2km to go Kirchen and Rogers have attacked from the peleton and are tackling the uphill finish today, in Bradford.
1km to go and it looks like its going to be a 1-2 as the other contenders have only just began to attack.
Kirchen Wins!

Yet more domination SN
Keep it up, although the only way is down. Or sideways.
Sideways is good, don't go down

Sideways it is!
Stage 6 Liverpool to Kendal
In 4 stages so far, Ive attacked with approximately 9km to go and won, so I did it again and ... won .
Could it be Roger Hammond? Having won in the North of england in the past 2 years (Liverpool and Blackpool), this could be the stage for him.
And of course it is Hammond!

Final Stage - ToB
A break went clear with Jakob Piil onboard. Towards the finish it was clear that the break would make it. Damn! Piil was 14 minutes down but other breakaway members were not. I won the stage though.

Mikhail Ignatiev, Danilo Hondo, Pavel Brutt, Tyler Hamilton, Vasil Kiryienka, and Evgueni Petrov would take on Eindhoven as Tinkoff Credit Systems.
Ignatiev would be our leader and it was brilliant news when we found out that today he would be +5.
Some of our rivals:
Things werent looking too good after the first checkpoint:
But Ignatiev set to work and practically destroyed the team
The squad were very motivated though and they approached the finish line, still close to Ignatev.
