Yes, I will play faster. I'm already done with January. There aren't that many races before march. |

Thanks! This is a bad part, everything went wrong with the game. The next parts will be better 
______________________________________________________________________
Stage 2
I think this stage is too hilly for Haedo, then I have to replace Arvesen for him. If Haedo is fine, I’ll of course use him as my sprinter.
Today’s break had Pietropoli, which had fallen on the first stage. When the break was caught, he tried to break away two more times.
Eric Fellens was the water carrier today
With 40 kilometers to the line, Lorenzetto had a puncture. Two Lampre riders tried to get him back to the peloton, but it didn’t happen. Lorenzetto finished last today.
I wasn’t sure if JJ could hang on into a good spot today, and I said that he had to follow Arvesen. When there were five kilometres to the line, his yellow bar was empty.
Arvesen came on 2nd, Stuey on 3rd, and Pozzato won! Too bad that the game crashed under the replay (That I didn’t save), because Arvesen and Stuey celebrated like there was 1st and 2nd. Pozzato came the last few meters… Pozzato has the leader’s jersey now.
36 JJ Haedo
40 Thomas Vedel Kvist (both at '0)
167 Kasper Klostergaard 3'12
171 Eric Fellens 4'02
172 Lei Evrard 6'50 |

Stage 3
Maybe a stage for JJ? I will set the train up for him today.
Liquigas had to control the race today, after Pozzato got the leader’s jersey yesterday
The peloton rolled with a nice sight
Kvist-Ljunqvist-O’Grady-Haedo were in the train today. Here are Kvist pacing to get the first position
Ljungqvist started the sprint, and he stretched the front part of the bunch. Looking good!
500 meters from the finish, JJ uses his last strength
He wins with ten centimetres to O’Grady! Pozzato on fifth and O’Grady is in the leaders jersey again. Arvesen followed Pozzato, and he got a sixth spot.

Understand why I changed the difficulty level?

Nice results. Doing well.
Glad you changed to 'hard', as normal is just too easy. |

Stage 4
The hill at the end will kill Haedo, maybe O’Grady with his good form will make it today?
I sent Kasper Klostergaard in the break today, then Liquigas and the other sprint teams had to take the efforts
Lampre, Silence – Lotto and Liquigas had to effort.
The train didn’t work today. In the last hill 5.5 kilometres from the finish, Arvesen attacked. Gusev counter-attacked.
There was still a distance to the sprinters when Kurt was under the 1 km mark
Will this go in?
Yes! Arvesen got his first victory for the season! Hushovd 2nd, double Norwegian!

It's a point why I'm posting all the stages from TDU now
______________________________________________________________
Stage 5
There is time for the queen stage, and Arvesen will be the leader. Haedo will do nothing, O’Grady have to sit in the pack. We will set high pace up the last hill, and hope that no one escapes.
In today’s break, all the riders were dangerous, everyone were 12 seconds behind O’Grady in the GC.
There were many woods in this stage
We didn’t effort one single time today, neither the other teams, but the escapees were just 3’15 before the bunch when they hit the hill.
The bunch hits the hill, with 7 % average slope.
After five seconds climbing, Nick Nuyens attacks!
Then many other riders attacks, but Arvesen is cold as ice… He set a fast pace in the peloton, then, there aren’t that many riders that are attacking.
Right before the top, Van Avermaet and Ballan makes their move, and Arvesen gets Ballan’s wheel. They catch Nuyens, Devolder and the main breakaway group, and they’re 0’30 in front the peloton with 9 kilometres to go!
Then Van Avermaet attack, Arvesen is the only one that can follow. Van Avermaet gets high lactats, but Arvesen uses his chance to get time on Pozzato.
He sprints like he’s never done before, and it’s another victory!
Pozzato finished 2nd, about 30 seconds behind Arvesen, Arvesen is the new leader!
