That is quite unfortunate, but I hope he at the end of the season which could rise as so young and then there's nothing to get is pretty weird. What is in the editor his peak age?

Oh thats because I changed his stats in January (when I took the pic) to match the stats of the Europcar save. You see I started a career with Sky and then simmed pretty much the whole year, edited David's contract so that it would run up that season and then I signed him. Amd the AVG only changes on the first of a month so thats why it was 68 but is now 70.

Hm, interesting detail.
Isn't there a way to change teams in the same career? At least I'm quite sure it was possible in other PCMs.

Well I did exactly as I was supposed to but I later found out that even if you do it correctly you only switch teams on Jan 1st so I could have saved myself a lot of time, but oh well.

Milan San Remo 2012 Results
This year, we had a surprise winner. Robbie Hunter won this famous classic ahead of Martin Elmiger. The two attacked late in the race and broke away from the other sprinters. Hunter showing he still has a bit of a sprint, but it was just a great strategy by Radioshack. Farrar brought home the peloton finishing 4th.

Tom Boonen Dominates Cobbled Classics!
The first race in the two week cobble season (excluding OHN and KBK) is E3 Prijs Vlanderen, Boonen dominated this race and won by 3 minutes over Ballan.
Okay so no big right its only E3. Well guess who won Gent - Wevelgem? Yeah Boonen. Tommeke won GW by over a minute to second place and favourite Fabian Cancellara. But again its only those two, the two biggest of the the cobble season are still to come.
So now were on to the Tour of Flanders. This time Boonen faces a one week fitter Allessandro Ballan who follows Boonen all the way to the line, but again Boonen wins.
So now we have the race. Paris Roubaix. Thor Hushovd makes an attack with 18km left, both Cancellara and Boonen must chase him back if they want to win. 9kms later, they do end up joining Thor, then Thor makes a move his Katusha DS probably isn't too happy about. He attacks again, and manages to crack Cancellara, but Boonen follows easily, and then Boonen times a perfect attack and solo's to the velodrome, winning easily.
A couple days later Boonen was seen with white dust all over himself. Some "experts" expect him to have terrible results the rest of the year.

April 14th, 2012
 De Brabantse Pijl
My Plan: With the first of the hilly classics beginning right here, the team will want to start off with some good results, which is why Uran is here to lead the team. Some consider this the first of the 4 Ardenes classics, while others just call this a warmup to the real deal, either way, I want to help my team out as best as I can. I'm not too far away from the race in Turkey so if I can find my legs here, I might have some decent results in Turkey.
I joined the first attack of the day myself. Eventually, a group of 13 other riders joined, which the peloton (mainly OmegaPharma and Vacansoleil) didn't approve of so they brought it back.
A handful of kms later a group of four established a nice break.
With 60km left and the BOTD still out in front, I was able to make another attack, but unfortunately my earlier attack had weakened me, and I didn't stay away for very long at all. But I did inadvertantly help bring the breakaway closer.
Now with 10km left, Sky send Hayman, Froome, Augustyn and Konovolovas to the front to pace the main group as we close in on the final hill of the day, and the launching pad for any final attacks the leaders might have.
And on that hill Rigoberto Uran made a planned attack, and he made himself a nice gap back to the peloton, with only about 2km left, while none of the other favourites make a move, as the course slowly shifts back to a downhill section for the final 1.5km.
Luckily for us, Uran holds on to his lead at takes the win, which is very important for us. I am glad he could win as it caps off a great race day for team Sky in general.
Result:
| 1 | Rigoberto Urán | Sky ProCycling | 4h34'22 | | 2 | Mario Aerts | Omega Pharma - Lotto | s.t. | | 3 | Johnny Hoogerland | Vacansoleil - DCM Pro Cycling Team | s.t. | | 4 | Jan Bakelandts | Omega Pharma - Lotto | s.t. | | 5 | Francis De Greef | Omega Pharma - Lotto | s.t. | | 6 | Jussi Veikkanen | Omega Pharma - Lotto | s.t. | | 7 | Nikolas Maes | Quick·Step Cycling Team | s.t. | | 8 | Arnold Jeanneson | FDJ | s.t. | | 9 | Peter Kennaugh | Sky ProCycling | s.t. | | 10 | Lieuwe Westra | Vacansoleil - DCM Pro Cycling Team | s.t. | | 11 | Jens Keukeleire | Quick·Step Cycling Team | s.t. | | 12 | Joost Posthuma | Leopard Trek | s.t. | | 13 | Chris Froome | Sky ProCycling | s.t. | | 14 | Ignatas Konovalovas | Sky ProCycling | s.t. | | 15 | Matthew Lloyd | Omega Pharma - Lotto | s.t. | | 16 | Frédéric Guesdon | FDJ | s.t. | | 17 | Matthew Hayman | Sky ProCycling | s.t. | | 18 | John-Lee Augustyn | Sky ProCycling | s.t. | | 19 | Jeremy Hunt | Sky ProCycling | s.t. | | 20 | Dries Devenyns | Quick·Step Cycling Team | s.t. | | ... | | 138 | David Veilleux | Sky ProCycling | s.t. |

Great win for Urán and Sky! Also, as you said, a great day, with another Top 10 and 4 more riders on Top 20.
David with a nice appearance, attacking two times in the race. Nice try, but it simply wasn't this time. Better luck for next one, eventually the result will come (like it happened in Canada last year) =)

Great win for Sky with Urán.
David did a good job trying to get into the break. Too bad he couldn't join them.
Still, a very nice race for the team.

Omega Pharma will be a little disappointed, having 4 riders among the first 6, but only one on the podium.

@lluuiiggii: Yeah, it was a great day!
But yeah, although David couldn't stick in the break, he did make some good appearances and helped bring back the break. I'm also hoping the results will come, but he is racing some more difficult races this year, so it might not be possible.
@Pelli Thanks, I hope David can become a very attacking rider.
@BikeRoel: Thanks, Uran timed his attack perfectly.
@Batista: Thanks Glad you're following my story just like last year
@cunego59: Yeah they should be, I was thinking about pointing out a "Omega Fail" for Omega but I think I might have been booed off the stage (hypothetically, I'm obviously not on a stage) .
