@TTSpecialist-Thanks. Dave Millar was enjoying his one wheeled TT bike 
World Championships RR
It is flat but form will play its part today. A late attack could make the difference.
Start List
The Favourites
Phillipe Gilbert - Omega Pharma - Lotto (Next Year BMC)
Edvald Boasson Hagen - Sky Procycling
Tom Boonen - Quickstep (Next Season Omega Pharma - Quickstep)
The Race
The early break. Talansky is in there.
Today's breakaway
With 100km to go the gap was 7.29
With 4 laps to go the break had 4.25
The attacks kept coming in the peloton. 2 laps left.
Morkov attacked out of the breakaway.
With 17km to go Cancellara attacked.
He was followed by Pozzato and O'Grady.
Pozzato and Cancellara had 59 seconds with 9.5km to go.
With 3km to go the gap was being closed by Walter Nicolai.
But is it enough?
With 1km to go Cancellara was leading Pozzato.
But the peloton could do nothing and Pozzato flew past Cancellara and wins the 2011 World Championships. 2nd goes too our young trainee Walter Nicolai and Gilbert takes 3rd.

Today Farrar didn't do well. His form was horrible but Nicolai, we weren't expecting 2nd place from him. He will be very happy with himself now.

Japan Cup
Well Japan Cup is a hard race. Last year was no exception. A rider with a late attack took the win. I came 2nd. It was a hard race and the hills at the end were very very steep. Well that wraps up my season.
Star of the Year (Cyanide Trophy)
I got nominated for the Star of the Year award, which is a big achievement for me. Unfortunately I couldn't win it or get in the top 3. The winner was
Maybe next year I could win it with me targeting the Tour de France.

Aus Champs
Start List
The Race
Docker attacked first followed closely by Drapac and Dennis.
When Dennis was caught he and Von Hoff worked on the front.
2 favourites attacked with 79km to go. They were Richie Porte of Sky and
Luke Durbridge of GreenEDGE.
Morton countered the attack.
They got caught very quickly.
O’Grady attacked with 67km to go.
With 40km to go O’Grady, Sutton and Anderson had 5.27 on the peloton.
This is looking promising.
Morton had to go now or the race would be over so he attacked with 3 hills to go.
Evans bridged up to Morton with 20km to go.
With 5km to go the break was going to stay away. Anderson was leading out, Sutton on his wheel and O’Grady on Sutton’s wheel.
With 1km to go Sutton was leading. O’Grady was coming but could he pass Sutton?
NO!! Sutton was to strong and takes Sky’s first win of the season ahead of O’Grady and Anderson.
Gerrans brings the peloton home 2.45 later.

Well today was a good race for the team. O’Grady got into the break and stayed away but unfortunately got caught out in the sprint. Morton tried many times to get away but he just couldn’t do it.

P.S.
Oh and as promised The Team.

Its a typo. I accidentally put that in. I am gonna change it. He had it in the Aus Champs and still couldn't get away so.
I am also having a few issues with the game. So I am gonna try fix that then get on with the Santos TDU. It always seems to happen when I get to the second season. But I should be able to fix it.
The weirdest thing was that there was only 108 riders in the TDU
