@ tyrrion: yes, he'll miss a few races, as Mallorca, Andalucia, the Tirreno and Milano - San Remo. Hopefully he's recovered for Trentino-Romandie- Giro.
@ sutty 68: Nah, he wouldn't have beaten Rojas (sp 80) and Farrar (Sp 82), as he only has 76 and a DS that sucks in sprinting 
@ jt1109: Thanks, I've tried it, hopefully it works.

Lachis Editor change the number in in equipment marque cadre and roue on the Team section
Roue = Wheel
Cadre = Frame
Haven't figured it out yet, so need some more help.
I wan to give the Red Bull-team the Cervélo S3 frames and Mavic Ultimate-wheels, what exactly do I need to do? Just as giving Androni the Colnago C59-frames. Please, tell me step by step!!!

Stage 2
The 2nd stage is again one for the sprinters. The 146 kilometres between Gawler and Hahndorf features one categorized climb and the last 30 kilometres are slightly downhill.
108km to go
As a few breakaways have been unsuccesful in the first 25 kilometres of the stage, the peloton is en group when they approach the Intermediate sprint. We decide to go for the 3 bonus seconds given at the line of the IS with our leader Matti Breschel.
Surprisingly, nobody else is interested in the points and bonus seconds, so Breschel wins the sprint, in front of Coen Vermeltfoort.
63km to go
The road starts to ascend a bit after the Intermediate sprint, and that's the sign for 7 riders to break away from the peloton. Assan Bazayev (Astana), Daniele Colli (Liquigas), Imanol Erviti (Euskaltel), Adriano Malori (Lampre), Martin Reimer (Sony Ericsson), Marcel Sieberg (Red Bull) and Andrew Talansky (Radio Shack) create a margin of 5'35 when they sprint for the points at today's only KOTM-sprint.
Euskaltel's Imanol Erviti wins the sprint, followed by Sieberg and Talansky.
1km to go
The leading group of 7 is much tougher than the peloton has expected. With only 10 kilometres to go, the lead is still a minute, what is due to the fact that Garmin (for yesterday's winner Rojas) and Omega Pharma (for Farrar) don't want to chase them. As always, we feel obliged to lead the chase then, mostly to let Breschel stay high in the GC.
Entering the last kilometre, Assan Bazayev leads the group, followed bu Colli. Tyler Farrar is leading the peloton, about 200 metres behind Bazayev. His acceleration was way too much for Rojas and especially Breschel, but is it enough to take the win?
Finish
Tyler Farrar, the best sprinter of 2012, manages to overtake the leading group, and takes the win in the 2nd stage of the Tour Down Under. Poor Bazayev was leading untill 10 metres before the finish, and has to settle with the 2nd place. Matti Breschel seemed to be glued to the road and finishes in a disappointing 18th place.

Today's winner
Word from the DS
We'll start to focus at the GC now, instead of stage wins. Breschel isn't capable of winning a mass sprint in this Tour Down Under, but can stay in th efirst group in the 2 hilly stages.

It depends what database your using for which frames but basically
Once you found a teams unique code for frames and wheels by scrolling across on the dyn-team editing part you will need to change that number to the number you want.
To find the number for the frame you want go to sta-equipment and scroll along to fkIDequipment-marque second from the end there will be a number(there will be 6 things with the same number usually 2 helmet 2 wheels and 2 frames) write this number down and put it in either the helmet or frame column depending on which one you want for that team and then you should be done. |

One of the decisive stages in this Tour Down Under is the 3rd one, from Unley to Stirling. The 129 kilometres include 3 laps around Stirling with an uphill final. WIll be tough for the sprinters, as they'll need some hilly skills as well.
58km to go
The pace in the first half of the race is very high and as a result, no breakaways are formed. Timothy Roe (United Health Care) tries to attack and creates a small margin. He arrives as first at the 1st Intermediate sprint, followed by Juan Manuel Garaté (Euskaltel).
Matti Breschel wins th sprint of the peloton, taking another very important bonus second.
41km to go
Roe and Garaté get caught, but immediately attack again (so annoying, but that's PCM........). This time they get companied by Egor Silin (Radio Shack) and Niki Terpstra. The 4 can create a margin of a little over a minute, when they cross the line of the KOTM-sprint. Of course, Terpstra, already wearing the KOTM-jersey, wins the sprint. The peloton follows at 1'19.
17km to go
Terpstra manages to create a small gap and decides to continue his attack all alone. He doesn't get the permission of the peloton, who catch the other breakaways, to create a large margin.
Entering the last lap of the Stirling-circuit, Terpstra leads with only '34 and will get caught soon after.
5km to go
The last 6 kilometres of the stage is ascending again, and Jurgen Van de Walle (Omega Pharma) sets a fierce attack. We stay calm in the first part of the peloton, with Martijn Maaskant (daily form +4) doing an excellent job of keeping Matti Breschel among the firsts of the peloton.
700metres
Van de Walle stays in front of the peloton with only a small margin. When Maaskant his legs have exploded with 1500 metres to go, Breschel takes the wheel of José JoaquÃn Rojas, the winner of the first stage.
700 metre sbefore the finish, they are about to catch Van de Walle and Breschel still has some energy left. Although a daily form of -1, he jumps out of the wheel of Rojas....
Finish
... And overtakes Rojas. Only one rider to pass. Van de Walle is struggling, while Breschel still has enough juice left in his legs. He overtakes the Belgian rider and wins his first stage for his new team. After one year without wins, Matti Breschel is back!!!

The 4th stage of the Tour Down Under, from Norwood to Goolwa, is again a pretty flat one, with 1 categorized climb.
96km to go
With a short stage of only 125 kilometres, the peloton has no big problems in keeping it together in the first part of the stage. When it arrives at the only KOT-sprint of the day, Niki Terpstra easily takes the maximum amount of points and secures his lead in the KOTM-rankings.
90km to go
Shortly after the KOTM-sprint awaits the first Intermediate sprint. The peloton is still together and Tyler Farrar and JJ Rojas had some difficult in the previous climb. This opens the way for Matti Breschel to win the sprint and he becomes the virtual leader of the Tour Down Under!
5km to go
After that, 4 riders attack and form the breakaway of the day. Daniele Colli (Liquigas), Imanol Erviti (Euskaltel), Mikhail Ignatiev (Katusha) and Martin Reimer (Sony Ericsoon) create a maximum margin of about 6 minutes.
Being the worst sprinter of the 4, Ignatiev tries to attack, but doesn't succeed. With 5km to go, their lead to the peloton is 1'36.
Finish
Ignatiev had a got suspicion: he has no chance in the sprint for the win. Reimer and Colli make it a 2-men drag race and Daniele Colli takes the win.
Peloton
Tyler Farrar eaily wins the sprint for the 5th place at 1'03. IN th eback of the peloton, a crash occurs. Among them is Tomas Vaitkus (hitting the tarmac here) and Cameron Meyer, who is th ebiggest victim with a fractured thigh.

Today's winner
Word from the DS
When seconds will decide who's going to win a stage race, it's important to take bonus seconds when they're given, and to prevent your opponents to take some seconds. Today was the perfect example of succeeding in it!

It looks like I've figured out about the frames and wheels problem, so starting with stage 5, you'll see Red Bull with Cervelo bikes and having wheels, and Androni having bikes!
