from the screenshot it looks like you won though
Yeah, it was incredibly close. I thought 'Yes, yes, I'm going to win this. Oh fuck, there's an Atlas rider. Well, the gap is big enough. Aww, this is going to be too close. YES I WON! Oh wait. Noooo! Shit! Damn Brambilla!''
That were exactly my thoughts 
@Maxime Thanks. Yes, it was 
you think in english?
Okay, almost exactly

Still no attachment. Just rename it to something simple like DB.cdb and try again
Edit: found it
Edit 2: You should be entering all the WT-races now

Just rode De Ronde (good timing, I know ) and I have to say this game is a bit ridiculous at times! Cancellara didn't even race it for some reason, so Boonen had no rivals. He rode away from the peloton the first time up the Oude Kwaremont (60kms to go) and won by nearly four minutes!! I managed to get Stannard into fifth behind Breschel, Terpstra and Vansummeren, but nearly eight minutes behind Tom!!
I really don't understand how to do the hilly cobbled races. Same thing happened at E3 where I struggled to seventh with Phinney after Boonen destroyed the field. At G-W, Phinney won the bunch sprint for second behind Boonen, so it's not been all bad but I really hope for better at Paris Roubaix, where I tend to be a bit better. |

Whoops! It would appear that my post was so dull it killed the thread
Anyway, Pais Vasco and Roubaix both went badly. Horvat was up there on every stage but the TT at the end killed him and he finished way down. Then in Roubaix, Haussler crashed out, Stannard had a bad day and Phinney finished tenth after a group of eleven entered the velodrome together. (Turgot won, outsprinting Breschel and Boonen  )
Just when I'm thinking everything is going wrong, this happens:
Horvat again, beating Costa and Bardet in Amstel. Not a bad neo-pro season. |

Nice that the team finally got a big win! But that Horvat guy is a bad sprinter. How did you win that small sprint then? Simply had the most energy left?

65 SP, but he's fully fit and +2 on the day. I sat on Costa's wheel and came round him in the last kilometre |

That makes sense.
Hope he can do the same in LBL.
Any big sponsor goal after that?

Right, it's time for a small KLM - Airfrance update.
Again, here's the team. ( I know that some people are too lazy to go back one page to see the team )
The team managed to get their first victory very soon.
As expected, it was in a TT, the Tripique des Monts et Chateux TT to be precise. Besides that the stage is pretty easy to win, and the only strong team that was there was Team de Rijke, I was pretty happy. My team was in top form(> 90 form) Bol managed to win the TT in front of Hamelink(also mine) and Trussov(De Rijke)
After not being able to do anything in Sarthe & Tour Doon Hame, the team is now racing Volkswagen Sea Otter Classic. There's a strong field, but (a still in top-form) Bol managed a 6th place at stage 1. And there is a TT coming(stage 3)
I must say that playing the Sea Otter Classic is surprisingly fun.
After the Sea Otter Classic, there's Tour of Korea, which has a weak startlist most of the time. Maybe the team can get their 1st road race win? It will be hard though
Also, there is an (probably) extremely talented Australian dominating the U23 ranks(I've got some extra U23 races, so yeah, a lot of U23 races took place already)
I'm hestitating if I should sign him or not. It doesn't really fit in the team, but I can give the team some more Australian influence with signing some more riders from there...
I guess I will wait a bit first, and if there are no big BeNeLux/German/French big talents, I might sign him...

Well, you may want to know what's going on 2015 with HTC. Philip Lavery finished 3rd at Down Under, after going into a breakaway in Stirling, where he got the leader's jersey. Shame he lost it to Evans in Willunga. He also conquered the mountain rankings and youth rankings. Then at Grand Prix Marseillaise, Ginnani won, then the team race Etoile de Besseges, where Laurent Beuret won a stage, where the team got 1-2 with Beuret and Quaade, and on the final time-trial, Quaade won it, conquering the GC. Ginnani 9th at Laigueglia, Ghyselinck won a stage at Driedaagse van-West Vlaanderen, finishing 2nd on the GC because of bonus seconds. Markus also won Clasica Almeria for the 2nd time on a row. |

Wow, that's great, considering the stats of those riders(I assume they have about the same stats as on page 13?)

Pretty much, yeah. Only Pavliuk has evolved. He has now 80 MO and 68 HIL, his top stats. Still, he has much to develop in the TT. Forgot to mention, Ginnani was 2nd too at Strade Bianche. Paris-Nice is beeing a bust for the team, best result beeing 5th with Farrar on stage 2. Tirreno-Adriatico started, with Balloni, Ginnani and Boswell all arriving at the favourites group. Btw, just an information, Boswell will lead at the Giro with the support from Balloni and Pavliuk will lead the team at the Tour, with Higinio as his main support. |

Some great results.
If there aren't too much TT kms, you certainly stand a chance in Grand Tours. Especially for the young riders jersey.
Problem is that you might not have enough MO domestiques(MO 70-75)

Turgot finished 14th in PR... out sprinted by Cavendish o.O
Voeckler is just unstoppable with 4 GC wins in a row... admitedly all .1 and .2's
and just signed with Carrefour for 4 years. More than doubled my budget 
Hello Demare, Bouhanni, Coppel and Taramae!!

Did you see my post above Manx? Turgot outsprinted everyone to win Paris-Roubaix in my career!!
Horvat makes it two out of two and Bibby shows the effect of 100 fitness and +5 on the day |

Just seen this 
Gio-Goi want me to get top five in the Giro, but I'll happily take top ten and the white jersey with Preidler. Of course it depends on the startlist. Then points jerseys at the Tour and Vuelta, which will be pretty difficult but I always try to do the sponsor goals, even though they don't matter
Well, I've never, ever won all three Ardennes classics in one season so let's hope Horvat has the legs today. Strangely, I'm actually nervous with 80km to go in La Doyenne |

God this game can take up some time!
I am enjoying a fun season with AG2R pcm database.
Coulpe of top ten in overall in Oz, disappointing Paris-Nice (won by Boassen Hagen).
3rd in Tirreno with Nocentini after A Schleck took the Queen stage and Tour.
I'm not too optimistic about later races so am glad to have some points on the board! |

Congrats for winning AGR, FW and LBL in a row
For my Lampre career, I probably have to switch from hard to extreme. Got first in WT team ranking last season, with Scarponi 3rd in Giro, 5th in Tour. Cunego got 3rd in Vuelta. Pozzato got 2nd in WT rider ranking behind Cancellara
Now in 2014, I got a 1-2-3 in MSR with Pozzato, Palini, Favilli. Sprint train broke away on Poggio and gained a 54 seconds on the line -.-' |
