Close call in Gent-Wevelgem, Spartacus was intelligent! |

Stijns sounds like Cancellara irl (in the interview with Sporza) ,but he is 100% right.

dienblad - Oh, you got me no, seriously, it's annoying. I hope it passes because this really ruins the gameplay completely.
Ollfardh - I would've send Vanmarcke but they killed him completely with their attacks
sutty68 - That's true
wogsrus - Well, I do, until it stops me from winning races
Jesleyh - Mollema had a great Tour there, it seems! The Ronde, I wonder what'll happen there.
FreitasPCM - He was. Still getting some great results at his age!
krisa - He will try
PCM rulezz - He sounds like Cancellara? Damn I hope the AI changes, though, because it's really breaks motivation if the AI makes illogical decisions at times.
I guess that's it for today. I don't know how much time I'll have in the weekend, could have hours, could have none. Probably hours
Are people interested in the Panne - Koksijde, or can I just simulate it? It's mostly to keep a good form for the Ronde, but if you're interested in the race, I can ride it! |

Ian. I haven't commented before but just wanted to say that I am really enjoying this story. Really excellent. It has inspired me to do something similar in the game. It won't be a story though - with two young children I barely get the time to play the game never mind write a story |

I'd like to see stijn work for Vanmarke at Panne - Koksijde as reward for teh hard work he's put in so far and is going to put in at Ronde. Also it could set Vanmarke up for a similar role as Chavanel meaning he can make a pre-emptive attack and force the others to chase earlier.

rogvi97 - All right, I'll do the reports. Hopefully I can do 2 or 3 races tomorrow
holmed - Thank you very much for the comment! I'm glad you're enjoying this story and I'm honored it inspired you to do something similar. With two young children I see time might be an issue Hope to keep you entertained with this story!
Miguel98 - You're right I will find time. I might even... create time!
sammyt93 - That's a very good idea, thanks! He might just do that. Though I was planning to retire after stage 2, they tend to do that irl a lot but working for Sep is a good idea, I'll do that.
On request I will report on the Panne - Koksijde. Tomorrow I have an oral exam before noon, so probably no reports before 1 o' clock or something. Afterwards is a different story, so I hope to do a few races!

As expected I didn't have time so far. I will leave for my exam in a small hour. When I'm back, I'll get to racing! |

PCM rulezz - Well, distance education (afstandsonderwijs-volwassenonderwijs), exams on a saturday or wednesday afternoon Thanks, it went well!
SSJ2Luigi, Miguel98 - Sir Never and myself work together. While he does everything never, I do it all the time.
Panne - Koksijde later today. I had some other plans but they were cancelled, by me |

De Panne Tour
Stijn Van Gent
As a thank you, I would be working for Sep Vanmarcke and Tyler Farrar in the coming days.
Thanks to some fortunate wind, I created an opportunity for Sep, he went for it!
Great day for him as he takes his first of the season! He did good!
Leading out for Tyler, he took the victory in this second stage, I finish 2nd! Amazing days!
One final effort, a 40 km chase, before I retired. I wanted to get out before the nervous finale and the time trial tomorrow. I think I did all right.
My actions did not go without consequence. This is what happens when a man in form pulls at the front:
I retired out of the race just in time to avoid the falls.
Boonen took the stage, Tyler was third.
I was already home, resting for the Ronde. Sep wore the leader's jersey for the entire tour, but lost it here. Still overall a great tour for the team!
