Tour of California Stage 7
Bertogliati missed just one point to take the KoM jersey from Fajt
With 4km to go our train seems to be in a pretty good position
It seems that only the CSC guys can keep it up with us, while a lot of Rabo riders are stuck behind
But Hagen doesn't seem to be in a great mood and he can't help Eisel too much, he even seems to slow him down
Eisel gets out from Hagen's wheel, but is Ballan who takes the lead, appearing from nowhere
The ex-Austrian National Champion is trying to stop Ballan but it seems imposible
Ballan takes the stage win and with the bonifications he is now 6th in the overall rankings
Stage
1. Alessandro Ballan Lampre 4h17'17
2. Bernhard Eisel Team Columbia s.t.

Tour of California Final Stage
Though that nothing anounced this, we will have a new King of the Mountains at the end of the day
With 35km to go Ballan made an attack from the pack
A lot of big names after him and Karpets and Zabriskie were there too
Ballan attacked first but he hasn't strong enough to be in the first group. Rujano, Karpets, Hincapie, Cancellara and Devolder are there, while the escapes are almost caught
With the second group and the pack coming fast and the escapes caught Cancellara and Karpets went away from the others
And they worked together but Karpets had no chance against Cancellara in the final sprint, while the second pack almost caught them
Karpets got his best ranking in a stage today, but that didn't help him in his trying to get on the overall podium
Stage
1. Fabian Cancellara Team CSC - Saxo Bank 3h48'05
2. Vladimir Karpets Team Columbia s.t.

Vuelta a Comunidad Valenciana Stage 1
Though that both escapes are pretty good climbers they had no chance today
Barredo was the first rider to attack on the last climb of the day
Kirchen was right after him, while Siutsou kept it close too
But as we aproach to the summit Siutsou has some problems. He and Moos droped from the first group
Kirchen, Colom, Barredo, Vicioso and Gutierrez are still there
At the end of the climb Boom attacked from the pack and soon he caught Siutsou, but Kanstanstin seems to be dead and he can't stay with Boom too much
Boom uses his downhill abilities and soon he caught the front group
When he saw Boom there, Kirchen made an acceleration
Nobody went after him and a gap was made between him and the others
With 1.5 km before the finish the sprint is launched behind Kirchen
But Kirchen looks strong enough to maintain himself in front
Barredo is the fastest behind him and he is getting closer and closer
He couldn't stop Kim and our leader gets the first win of the season in his first race

1 on 1 for Kirchen
It probably won't mean anything... the both of us already know there's no competition for Vicioso

Vuelta a Comunidad Valenciana Stage 2
The game crashed during the replay so I have just the picture with the 10 men breakaway. They race was very hard to control and they managed to finish in front
They came 3 minutes before the favourites group, including Boom and Kirchen, and they all got the first 10 places in the overall rankings. Kirchen is now 11th, somewhere at one minute and a half behind the leader.

Vuelta a Comunidad Valenciana Final Results
Because of too many crashes I've decided to simulate the rest of the rest and post the final results. Sorry for that.
Kirchen was second in the third stage and first in the fourth stage, which helped him get back the yellow jersey won in the first stage. Boom also had a good Tour finishing fourth overall.

1. Kim Kirchen Team Columbia 18h12'12
2. Nicolas Hartmann DHL - Author + 1'15
3. Toni Colom AG2R La Mondiale + 2'18

I don't think that Rui Costa is in the DB and I have some problems with the save-game at the moment

save-game problems. Every time I try to start a race it crashes. I will probably try again sometime soon.

The save game seems to be really fucked up and the closest back up I could find was from Le Tour 09
