Stage 3
Today´s tt might decide who will be overall winner of Tour of the Gila...
Provisional General Classification
 G. Koob has 42" to play with... he´s the best TT in the race so we all expect a win from him..
With only 3 riders under 1min, we go straight away to yellow jersey G. Koob... he rides fast and at the 1st checkpoint he just demolish all with his time..
1st Checkpoint
Koob goes so fast that he even catch up with 2nd overall placed  R. Diaz(SLS)...
Provisonal best time
G. Koob crosses the line with a big smile...

Thanks mate... well, to be honest, Koob doesn´t have any serious rival here( TT speaking ) so even on extreme this was too easy... i guess i´ll only be able to test the team when we ride any WT races wich unfortunally isn´t the case this season( no wildcards ) 
I think Overall Winner is already known..
*TomC
Thanks.. .. yes he will... if he doesn´t crash.. 
Thanks for your support!

11 minutes in the team classification.
No doubt the bigger teams will be wanting to take all of your riders! |

We are the strongest team here so to avoid some loose of motivation( by winning with such time differences, i changed to extreme before ITT) , i just hope it will not be easy too..
Well, the only rider we might loose is  H. Sastre( team´s main sprinter) so no worries as we already signed  I. Love for that spot (just in case)..
I´m sorry not to post everyday but this doesn´t mean im not motivated, it´s just i don´t have that time to play... i´m really sorry for my followers..
At weekend will be reports out..

Stage 4
Flat stage, nothing special should happen.... right?!
We came to this stage with the feeling we had it all controlled and overall win should be ours, at least is what those 1´55" to 2nd place mean... 4th stage started and few kms ahead, 5 riders attacked..  M. Tusveld(RB3),  C. Jones(BPC), our  F. Baraybar, M. Jenkins(5HR) and P. Herzig(BFL) being a little behind...
51kms to go... Jamis, Funvic and UHC are making the chase in peloton... 3´15" gap..
With peloton chasing all the way, we reach last 5kms still with the break infront... somehow,  A. Manarelli(FUN) crashes right in front of G. Koob, making him hit the ground... great, just great.. our bad luck doesn´t finish here... no, no..
We jump to the front where Baraybar still has good chances to win this stage... out from the break is M. Jenkins(5HR) who surprised the others with a smart move but he´s paying for that effort.. Baraybar comes behind with Tusveld...
F. Baraybar decides to go... Tusveld gives it all to stay with him..
Baraybar catch up with Jenkins... this might be another win for us...
Only few meters now... and some nice distance to the rest....
Yes.... great win for Baraybar.... hum, no? wait...
Nooooooo.... Baraybar celebrates too early and gets passed by the sprinters few meters away from finish line... what a disaster.. dummass..
 J. Stuyven(BLS) wins...
G. Koob made what he could to avoid loosing too much time, but he looses 2´19"....

General Classification
Well, what could go more wrong today? Koob drops to 4th place overall but he must be examined by team doctor today... still no garantees that he can ride tomorrow...

Sorry, mate, but this early celebration made me laugh never seen this before, getting passed by so many riders! Was it the DS's fault or did he celebrate on his own?
Bad luck with Koob, really. Still only a short disadvantage, maybe you can re-take the lead!

So.. seems bad luck doesn´t stop to strike Once story... i played 4th stage of Gila and Vuelta a la comunidad de Madrid ( this is on 4th May), now i wanted to go to next day and game crashes ... i looked for a week save and found one wich crashes too ... now i don´t want to play all over again so i´m asking you what should be done.. i´ll post Madrid classic (wich went good) and probably will be it... any ideas are welcome.

Vuelta a la Comunidad de Madrid
Squad
As the same time we race in America, in Europe the other half of the team will race at home...  H. Becker will be the leader...
We go straight to the breakaway with 7 riders, where our M. Solares is the rider who will show our colors.. they have 3´12" gap..
93kms to go, peloton starts to chase the breakaway.. Colombia is very active in the chase even having 1 rider in the break.. 6´00"gap
63kms... Solares lead the break with high pace but their gap continues to drop... 4´05" now..
33kms... Colombia leads the pack with the break insight...
14kms... after the break got caught, Colombia continued their high pace in peloton and heading to the last climb we have only 34 riders at the front now...
10kms to go... After all the hard work leading the group, Colombia still have 5 riders here.. they are for sure the strongest team and are preparing the final assault but before that, R. Manotas takes the front in one way of saying," we are here too.."
4kms ahead, the attacks from Colombia start... C. Rubio is maybe the most fresh from the team... Becker continues to ride on is own pace..
5kms... H. Becker leaves the group behind... seems the colombian team as lost all the steam... but Rubio is still infront..
Becker catch up with Rubio...
Rubio starts to get droped by Becker...
.. but he fights back and catch up with Becker again... 100meters to go..
.. both riders are tired but H. Becker manages to stay in front and wins this classic.. well done.
Race Result
Teams
As you can see, we had the best tactic even with less riders as Colombia... they put 3 riders inside top10 wich shows their strenght..
If there is no salvation to my save, this might have been the last report...

Where does it crash? At simulating a certain race?
Possibly this is a cobbled TT being simulated(which the game can't handle)...

A cobbled ITT would have been my guess, too. Otherwise you could still share your save-file, so that we could check it!
Nice win! Don't think it will be the last report
