Tour de France
Stage 4- Lorient- Mur de Bretagne
Today's stage may favour a strong puncheur as they finish on the steep Mur de Bretagne. This small climb at the end ramps up to 10% at times a may favour Rodrigues, Contador or Schleck.
The break today never really established with a number of attacks from many different riders. Approaching the Mur de Bretagne and all the big favourites could smell a Tour de France victory and were all at the front coming to the foot of the climb. It was Rodrigues with the win after passing early attacker Voeckler.
| 1 | JoaquÃm RodrÃguez | Katusha Team | 3h44'31 | | 2 | Philippe Gilbert | Omega Pharma - Lotto | + 6 | | 3 | Alberto Contador | Saxo Bank SunGard | s.t. | | 4 | Cadel Evans | BMC Racing Team | s.t. | | 5 | Edvald Boasson Hagen | Sky ProCycling | s.t. | | 6 | Sylvain Chavanel | Quick·Step Cycling Team | s.t. | | 7 | Thor Hushovd | Team Garmin - Cervélo | s.t. | | 8 | Chris Horner | Team RadioShack | s.t. | | 9 | Filippo Pozzato | Katusha Team | s.t. | | 10 | Igor Antón | Euskaltel - Euskadi | s.t. |

Good try with Voeckler. I hope he can get a stage win soon or later.  |

Guys this isn't looking good, there is a massive chance I may not complete the Tour de France.
With full time work and full time in college, I barely have the time to play PCM and update this.
I wont end it yet just in case there is a chance I can update before PCM12 comes out!

Thank you to everyone who has shown their support for this story and has taken the time to read it, you guys have what kept this going over a lengthy period of time.
I have enjoyed this story as I hope you have too.
This is the end for this story, sad I couldn't complete the Tour de France due to a busy lifestyle in the past few weeks.
Thank you and I hope to be back with hopefully another successful story in PCM 12
