Although Schleck left and the sponsor changed, the team is not left witthout extremely talented and strong riders. I'm certain Petronas will rule the roads for another year  good luck in the next season! |

Sagan is very underrated in hill's and Gesink and Kittel are overrated in MO(Gesink) and SP(Kittel).Why you don't put Sagan 81 or 82 in Hill's for more realistic results in Amstel Gold Race,Fleche Wallone or LBL?

He's in 2014. That's how the game develops, that's the sense of playing some seasons, why should he change stats back to what they were in the beginning?

Yes, indeed. Haven't changed a single stat in the DB. And to let you know, Sagan has, I believe, 2 stars left in hills. SO he'll turn into a beast within 1-2 years, but he is developing slower than irl.

Can't wait to see Sagan the beast 
What's your development of attributes? 0.5?
Does Petronas has legendary coaches? |

Red Bull stops sponsorship at the end of the season!
With the 2014 season even to be started, Red Bull has announced that they will stop their sponsorship of the team formed in 2013. In a press release, the Austrian based company told that this way, the team managers will have enough time to search for a new main sponsor.

Road Race
The same time the team presentation is being held in Kuala Lumpur, Jack Bobridge takes part in his home country Australia for the National championships. He had hoped to have a better winter, but because of the flu, he had to deal with a fitness level of 50.
So knowing that when the big guns (Gerrans, Porte, Evans etc) launch their attacks at the only hill in the circuit, he tries to be in the breakaway. And with success, as he's one of the 12 riders that form the BOTD. Too bad for him, that there are too many good sprinters present in the BOTD, as Mark Renshaw, Chris Sutton and Wesley Sulzberger. So Bobridge attacks with 55km to go, with the margin to the peloton (28 riders  ) being more than 7 minutes.
For about 20 kilometres, he tries to defend a margin of 30 seconds. But realizing the 11 won't let him get away, he slows down. For the next 25 kilometres, the leading group stays intact, none of the 11 tries to attack. So at the summit of the last hill, Bobridge tries again. This time he is able to create a 15-second gap, but Team Qantas is pulling him back. He gets caught with 500m to go, and will fiish in 12th (and last place of the BOTD) place today. The win goes to Mark Renshaw, who beats Chris Sutton and Aaron Kemps in the sprint. The favourites finish 5 minutes behind.
_______________________________________________________________________
Time Trial
In the time trial (simulated!), Bobridge was again very close in getting his first Australian road race title. He is beaten by one single second by Richie Porte....
Well, a good start of the season for Bobridge, but wth a little more luck....

The Petronas-jersey that comes with the PCM daily 2011 DB. But as said, Maddrengen is making me a new jersey, including Monster Energy as a cosponsor, and also some equipment. So no more reports untill he has finished it.
Edit: nice to see that you are from Veenendaal, I live there as well
