@ sutty - Thanks. Nesveda followed his managers tactics perfectly 
@ all - Thanks a lot for the bananas. It was a great win, but dont misunderstand (for those that might have) That win was on Hard, but after winning that stage, I have decided to play on Extreme so from then on, things will be extreme
And of course, there will be atleast one more report later today!

 Tour de Slovaquie Stage 2 (2.2)
June 5th, 2013
Todays stage is probably the scariest profile we have seen so far this year! Its surely made some sprinters think twice about starting the race, but if they can get through this stage, the rest are all flat for the most part!
The action starts on the 2nd last climb of the day with a breakaway attacking each other in hopes of winning the KOM sprint. Kopecky is up there, but really struggling with riders like Padour and Ebsen already up there! The splits are starting behind too, with Zoidl and Acevedo making their way up to the break!
Shalunov wins the KOM sprint, but Zoidl and the other major favourites are brought back to the peloton. The gap between the now small chase group of 30 or so riders is about a minute and a half down on Hudacek and Shalunov.
Now on the slopes of the final climb, Zoidl makes an attack and reaches the front of the race, joining Hudacek.
As this happens, Hunal begins to fall out of the main chase group, while Acevedo and Zoidl are up ahead with Hudacek just beginning to fall back from Zoidl.
Zoidl and Acevedo are clearly the two strongest here today, and are both together as we enter the final km. Either of these two will take the win, but whoever does gets the overall, so theres a bit to fight for!
They come round the hairpin with Zoidl crossing the line first, just slightly ahead of Acevedo! It was a thrilling battle for the win, but you probably could have hoped for a bit more action between the two with this being the only mountain stage! Our own leader Hunal falls way off the winners, but is still in 16th overall, meaning he can move into a Top 10 place still, which will be the goal! He can also still challenge for the points jersey!

@ All - Yeah. Hunal's 66 Mountain stat meant he couldn't keep up with the others who were mostly between 69-72. I think he did quite well.
Tour de Slovaquie Stage 3 (2.2)
June 6th, 2013
Stage 3 is a flat day for the sprinter and the likes of Stevic and Manan will definitely be wanting a stage win! We've got to hope we can get one of our riders up there today, but with the quality here, it will be difficult.
The break of the day had no real chance today, so with 2km to go, Manan gets a dream lead out, which will put him in a great position for the win! He;s got a lot of space between him and the other sprinters, but will he be able to win it all?
YES! He probably even gained a few metres on his rivals, with a terrific display here! Stevic will be frustrated he couldn't do better, but there are still 2 more opportunities for him to get a win and he has a good shot! No GC changes here!

Tour de Slovaquie Stage 4 (2.2)
June 7th, 2013
Stage 4 is much like the last, but there is a hill near the finish, about 15km from the finish! Add to that the high winds today and we are in for one heck of a finish!
Close to the finish and we've got two very fast trains. The high winds dropped Hunal out of contention for the win.
Just a day later, Stevic wins the stage in a sprint just ahead of his new rival Manan. It was a fast paced finish, but other than that the stage was quite dull! The last stage tomorrow should be full of action, and Manan and Stevic need to settle who's the best.

@ Teddy - Thanks a lot! I've been playing around with the settings ingame and the effects I use lately, so its nice to hear that about the screens! It's also nice to see Zoidl do well, I agree
@ baia - He finished inside the Top 15 on the stage, but there was a bit of a breakaway group for the top 9 or 10 sprinters due to the wind.
@ HaRe - Nope We've been punching above our weight all year, but on Extreme so far, we've been doing about how well we should be.
@ sutty - I'll try

Tour de Slovaquie Stage 5 (2.2)
June 8th, 2013
The final stage of the tour is a flat course, but there is one hill which we will be going over a few times, which could be enough to discourage the sprinters from having their day!
The days action begins with a 6 man breakaway, including Pavel Kopecky who was going to be part of the action later on as well...
Today it was going to be very close between the breakaway and the peloton. Kopecky felt a little unsure about the gap, so he and Rudolph went on the offensive, seperating themselves from the other breakaway riders! With 15km to go, its beginning to look like one of these two could win!
Around this time a major crash occurs, which forces two very big name riders to abandon, Manan and race leader Zoidl! No footage of this was seen, but the results show it all!
Using the final hill as an opportunity to attack, Hunal hunts Rudolph who is now the lone leader, but little did he know, Polanc is also up the road and going just as fast as he was, with Kopecky somewhere inbetween those two. Hunal's move is smart as he can move up the GC today, but he's got to keep going!
Rudolph takes the amazing solo win! He followed the right moves, and outsmarted and outpowered his companions. Polanc takes 2nd place which was a terrific move, putting him in 1st overall mostly due to Zoidl crashing out!
Hunal and Kopecky finish 3rd and 4th just ahead of the peloton with a clear gap, but the race organizers dont think so, and Hunal finishes 15th overall, in what could have been a Top 10 if only he had been given the time gap he deserved and the other gaps behind the peloton for a lot of the dropped riders.
