OK..here we can find what sponsors expect from me..not much realy. First time I found reasnoble demandings.
Australian championship.
I always wanted that australian champion jersey...this is most beautiful. Lets try again to get that.
There is lot of strange thing happens..nobody want to take relay. I had enough Evans helped McEven to the breakaway...yes now they noticed, peloton comes back together.
 australians just cant work together..now they let O'Grady to go. This is it that beatiful jersey sliping away again.
But lets sprint anyway...McEwen follows Davis. Darren Lapthorne I'm confused they just cant left him behind.
Shirt is gone...O'Drady can celebrate before line..
Bad news is that Robbie is left out at podium.

yeah, there's so little people in that race that nobody takes relays. it's almost impossible to get it to a mass sprint and win it that way |

Nah the best championships were New Zealand. A hilyl course but most riders are crap at hills so get dropped straight away!
Bad luck in the Aussie nationals Guido, better luck in the TDU hopefully.

The game tends to crash when theres less than 10 teams, so id presume you cannot.

Tour Down Under
Stage 1
Adelaide - Adelaide
Eechout leads breakaway group just in case I but Vansevenaut also there to keep eye on in.
But after all..this is gonna end with mass sprint..here they come.
300m. to go..two lotto guys have in front. Step a side Zanini..McEwen is sprinting now.
Now he didn't damn man what you are thinking..oh dear ...these italians..
At least early breakaway man Vansevenaut is happy. Yes we should have reason first stage and double win. Stil I have to talk with this Zanini...damn it's Robbies home race no offence.

Tour Down Under
Stage 2
Mawson Lakes - Angaston
Two breakaway riders Meul and Alexander Efimkin (Barloworld) in front. Thats gonna be hard they just gonna murder himself.
Ok..it's time to mass sprint again. I noticed that I have strong..strong sprint and flat power in the squad..and decided first time how is sprint with help train. Vansevevant is first link who greats Lotto train and bulls hard has possible
 
Steps 2 and 3. van Avermaet starts a sprint..Zanini (lets see how he acts today) and McEwen follows. Cancellara is coming decided this is sign to Zanini to go..(step3)
McEwen noticed that Zanini hasn't go fast enough and he jumps in Cancellara baclwheel.
This is it..side by side. Maybe I should start earlyer to passing Cancellara.
No its perfect..McEwen takes a win..realy good sprinter calculation. It's pleasure to have sprinter like this...and about train -that was fun but it didn't work all the way. I s better to stay with McEwen backwheel tactics.

Tour Down Under
Stage 3
Stirling - Hahndorf
Here we go hills are coming..now we have to just hope that. McEwen will survive long as possible in next stages.
Master of breakaways in australia tour is belgium champion Eeckhot..he has tryed to get away at all stages.
Here we go..just two strongest breakaway riders are left after hills Eichler and Voecler. There is pain for McEwen to stay in peloton,he is far from he's top shape and when my friends from CSC is setting a tempo..then he suffers a lot.
Time to prepeare for sprint...McEwen has sprint star on this tour is marked man. Best young cyclist Cancellara has taken he's back wheel.
Hunter with Agritubel boys has nice fast and short train. McEwen decided to switch..Cancellara still follows.
This is Hunter..good ride McEwen is more then pleased on his 3 rd. place. After finish he's worried ..biggest hills are still a head.
