I like the effort you went to in researching the names of the classifications/jerseys

It's these little touches which really show I like to go the extra mile to make this as realistic as possible

You don't believe just how lucky you got with the 2nd crash - Pellizotti would have lost minutes (you know Cya-logic - time gap from the front of the group) had that 2nd crash not happened

great job Crommy, what a race by Carrara to finish 7th overall, and win the maglia verde 
O might just be able to start dreaming of a top half finish 
quite interesting actually that I've managed to take the points jersey in three races without a real sprinter

I cant say i'm disapointed although i'm a little sad because i had the Giro on the palm of my hand. In the other side i'm happy because finally someone faced the "Giro beast" Cunego and made him sweat to win. And i'm double happy because if i didn't sell Pellizotti he would come here for sure and it would be a disaster like last year.
After the poor rookie season i had (almost got relegated), i'm now where i should belong: fighting with the best teams

Whooooohooo! Stage win two for D'Amore! Either he wins or doesn't get better than 7th.
About SotD putting very much fate into Caruso, I think he a very legimit to do that. Caruso should have been easily in the top 10 and maybe top 5. Hasn't he had a stat boost also?
And mrlol, Ghisalberti was the one who could have saved me from getting relegated which also is my sponsor goal. I think that's faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar more important then you getting your goal.
But the worst part is that all mountain stages got boring for me and SotD. Think about that...

What a waste that giro was for me because of bos, Brajkovic surely should have been in the top 10 had he not crashed an injured himself.

Bos indeed screwed a lot of peoples succes now even the poor old Brushegin managed a top 20 spot
I'm happy Cunego got it, as he deserved it, but still... Bennati, Nocentini and Rogers could have scored me a lot more points... |

You really do seem to highly rate Caruso dont you SotD? Despite his past record. Has he ever got a top 10 in a GT in this management game in the past?
That's not really the point. The point is that you just can't claim a restart of anything just because you get bad luck. That shows an encredible amount of dissympathiasm imo. There are 18 managers who get lucky due to one managers BAD luck. It's a part of life, you can't claim a restart if you fail your exam thus not getting into college, and another guy get's your place... |

Well I dont know about anywhere else, but in Britain you can resit exams if you dont do as well as you hoped Theres never going to be any restarts of stages/races or whatever - particularly since it is moreorless impossible.
But my point still stands about Caruso.

Give it a rest guys. I'm fairly sure they were being sarcastic
Anyway, I'm uploading all the screenshots I took over the Giro, it was actually a very good looking course

 i was sure i was radoing siutsou not kohl when i gave the order to put pellizotti on the floor
anyway, i think Kohl felt the pinch of having very high expectations and a strong team around him, his legs were gone by the end..
