Use the dot over every cobble section, and crush the peloton early in the race, that works for me! |

I think if you want a realistic story you should move up the difficulty, but it's your choice, and I will read it anyway |

Maybe on those hills, I find it hard to believe that Gerdemann would have dominated a hilly stage race when there is a lot of the top aces in hills participating it too
But of course, you seem like a really good player, and that is maybe the reason why you are winning? |

Evans and Dekker never attacked here and it's more easy when the finish is after an downhill not in the top of the hill
Edit: oh yeah Dekker attacked in the first stage but after that...nothing

Don't be negative Just wait and see, you'll get a +5 day, 99 in fitness, following the wheels, making your move, and winning solo on the velodrome |
