Just started a career with Belkin a while ago. It is really shaping up nicely. Some of the good results:
TDU-I won the GC with Gesink after taking the win on Willunga ahead of Ulissi and Clarke.
San Luis-I somehow managed to take 3rd in GC with Clement after a strong TT performance and after limiting the losses in the other stages. Cataldo was 1st in GC ahead of Visconti.
Tour Mediterranee-1st in GC with Gesink, 1 second ahead of Peraud and 5 ahead of Froome
Oman-None of the "big" GC riders showed up, so I won with Mollema ahead of Samu and Pinot, with a stage win on Green Mountain too
Murcia-Won with Mollema after a photo finish sprint against Purito. Ten Dam finished on 3rd place too
Omloop Het-A 5 riders group arrived at the finish. In the sprint I got 3rd with Vanmarke, getting beaten by Stybar and Phinney and ahead of Pozzato and Cancellara
Paris-Nice-4th overall with Gesink+1 stage win. GC:1.Valverde 2.Roche 3.Kwiat
Tirreno-2nd GC with Mollema, behind Purito and ahead of Costa
Catalunya-4th GC with Ten Dam. 1.Froome 2.Roche(who was really strong in the start of the season) 3.Quintana
E3-3 man sprint at the finish. 1.Sagan 2.Boonen 3.Vanmarcke. They didn't want to cooperate so I had to work alone in the group with Vanmarcke.
Gent-Wevelgem-I answered a move by Cancellara inside the final 15 km. Boonen joined to. We started to look at each other. I didn't want to drag them to the finish line so I attacked. Boonen was really strong, followed my attack and beat me in the sprint.
Tour of Flanders-Vamarcke, Cancellara, Pozzato and Van Avermaet got away on the Oude Kwaremont. Vanmarcke was very strong so I attacked on the Paterberg. Noone could answer so I won  Cancellara got 2nd, Pozzato 3rd. Boom got 7th too.
Pais-Vasco-3rd in GC with Mollema and 1 stage win 1.Valverde 2.Purito 4.Nibali 5.Samu
Paris-Roubaix-Strong 4 man group formed with Vanmarcke, Boonen, Terpstra and Cancellara. OPQ played it smartly, so Terpstra attacked. Cancellara didn't want to help me, so I had to pull him back alone. On the penultimate sector Cancellara made his move and no one could answer. In the sprint for 2nd place Boonen and Terpstra were both empty, so I managed to hold off Boonen and taka a decent second.

Nice to read about the different teams being used here. 
-- As for me, I have reached 2023 in PCM2011 and I will probably stop as the regens start to win more and more.
The reason being a lot of the teams (mainly continental) only have four/five riders and no sponsor, I don't think it is worth it to do a ton of editing which would be necessary to carry it on, that and the game isn't adding any regens from Nepal, Mongolia and Sao Tome & Principe!  |

Just completed the 2002 TDF, Armstrong destroyed everyone as expected ...
Made the podium though but it was tough !
Also won the team classement by 19 seconds over USPostal, nearly lost it in the Champs TT.

I've finished the Tour with A. Schleck losing on the final day because of a fall, so he ended on a second...  Vuelta's up, where Frank Schleck will be looking to win

Im Tinkoff im going for the Giro/TDF double with AC im not using the number 1 bar for the Giro do you think i can beat Nibali and contend the TDF vs Froome?.
I was also wondering would having daily form on help me i have never played with it on, what isit like if you have a +5 do you do really well or something?. My main goal is to try and win 11 GT's with Contador so i can get in the history books, basically i need 6 GT's in a 4 year span. |

You can do it. I did the triple last year with Contador and just won my 6th Vuelta bringing Contadors total to 13. He is now 35 though and starting to see his stats fall so the last Vuelta was a challenge. Always do training camps before hand especially in TT. |

I wonder if you guys can guess which one of these was the lineup for La Vuelta and which one was the lineup for the GP Montreal in 2013 on my HTC Career? (slightly edited daily's final2013DB)
GP Montreal clashed with the final day of La Vuelta

The way you're asking, the top stage racers probably went to Montreal.
Same story in my Movistar career (although in 2017) where from 15 80+mo riders in the game, only one went to the Vuelta, and that in questionable form.

Sagan started off on a big high with his new team. Winning the Tour Down Under with 3 stage wins and the other three were podiums. Next focus Paris-Roubaix |

That can be edited pretty easily in STA_Region, in PCM13 at least. Not too sure about PCM11 though

I know that, I have already added riders from Sudan & Kiribati that way. But around 2022 the whole scouting network fails, probably due to Cyanide not realising anyone would get that far. |

My OGE career was going well. Picking up results all over the place from a Top10 at the Giro and 4 stage wins, to podiuming Monuments and various other cool stuff. Coming towards July and transfers will be fun.
Porte and Rogers are available to sign. Sergent is also possible along with Earle and few other lower level guys. Plan is add: Porte, Rogers, Sergent, Earle, Scully, Ewan and Flackmore to the team.
This will move us closer to the 100% AUS/NZL goal and give us another option for GT's as well as come fun talents.

I knew GreenEdge would be a good pick
They're a nice team to play with. |

I set it up to 80 MO and 78 HIL, because Andy seriously lacks confidence (in my opinion). Frank also has 80 MO and 78 HIL .
But what do you think should have had?

It's time for the Giro 2018 and Majka is back for his 4th attempt after a 2nd place last year. Bit better prepared this year. |

Yes i think you may have trouble their i bet Quitana will win you should get a top 3 though.
Just won the Giro with Contador Joel i like you will be going for the triple. I won the Giro with 1min 30 on Nibali but i used quite bad fitness and im using 2 full bars for the TDF. I also won 5 stages with Contador and 1 with Rogers like irl on the Zoncolon from the break it moved Mick to 17th on GC so it was a real satasfying Giro. Contador has only had 35 race days before the TDF so it is possible i hope.
Contador's results;
Paris Nice 1st(1 stage)
Vuelta Castilla Leon 3rd(used as prep for Fleche Wallone)
F-W 2nd
LBL 4th
Giro 1st(5 stages) |
