0.5 to go Guardini lost the wheel way before the sprint began looks close between Kittel and Bennati though
Kittel takes another stage this sprinting sensation is too good in Oman

Horner and Cobo lose alot of time for GC in this stage.
The next stage will be tough but we feel Vinchenzo is getting better and better.

I maybe was silly sprinting and attacking with 10kms to go for the intermediate i could never recover fully but 6 sces bonus is still good.

Tour du Haut Var stage 2
The last stage raises many questions can we win GC?, will we win the stage? or can we jump on the the podium?
The favourites:
LL Sanchez J.Vanendert E.Gasparooto C.A.Sorensen
We have Bazayev and Kangert in the break Kangert comes 5th in the 1st KOTM sprint won bye Wetterhall.
Kangert takes the 20 points at the next KOTM sprint we are 5'11" ahead of the peleton Kangert ha used too much energy though again.
Bazzana takes the 6 bonus seconds ahead of Wetterhall and Blot.
3rd KOTM checkpoint is won bye Traksel, 2nd Savini and in 3rd place Sijmens.
100 kms to go and the break still has a strong advantage 7'06"
The final KOT is won bye Traksel ahead Wetterhall and Savini, which means Wetterhall will win the KOTM bye 2 points infront of Kangert?.
50 kms to go and the break has 5'38"
25kms to go and the break is still going strong it will be tight 3'52"
18kms left and Hivert attacks, De Waele counter's with Sorensen, break still 3'17"
3.7 left for the 2 leaders on the road and Traksel looks like he has cracked Wetterhall. Their is a 2nd group 46 secs back and the LLS group is 2'15" back.
3.4 for the race leader group and Gaspa attacks.
Traksel wins the stage
Wetterhall is going to be passed bye the race leader
Top 10 - Gasparotto 6th (maybe should not have attacked)
GC - Gaspa 3rd same time with Sorensen

Guys i have edited the database so Leipheimer and Ciolek now have no teams i thought it would just be better than seeing them in their teams because Ciolek's team are not in the game etc. Ive also mayed M.Barry have no team because he was in United healthcare after i done the Sky transfers are youok with it? |

You shouldn't do that. Just let database and career play however they want,it is career that started in that time,when Levi was still riding,so,in that "life" , he may continue riding until 45,who knows! |

yes ok well i dont no if you no but i have updated 5 or 6 teams rosters so it's like reallife and i had to move Ciolek to Lotto because i wanted to accomadate Cav and the max riders to be 30 in a team, because you cant sign anyone with a 30 plus roster, its only Leipheimer who is retiring anyway, and Ciolek and Barry who i changed so they have no team. I changed it before Trofeo Laigueglia so if you think its better leaving it like it was ill delete this file and load up til then and just skip Laigueglia and stage 2 of Tour du haut Var?. |

I just thought it was wierd with Ciolek at Lotto etc because when i edited the database i didnt no at the time i could just have them as a free rider, i though it would crash the game because when i deleted a rider before it would not load. I should of done all this before i started the save but no worries i am skipping the Trofeo stage and the Tour du Haut Var, you never know Gaspa may do better. |

Tour of Oman stage 6
Favourites:
Kittel Guardini Rojas
The last stage of the race and with just 3 seconds between race leader Nibali and 2nd place Ulissi we have to be on our guard at all times.
S.Weber of Differdange takes the Kotm points which means Valverde will take a jersey home with him
Intermediate sprint is won bye Ignatenko from the 9 man break, 2nd is Weber and in 3rd place Lechuga
90 kms to go and the break has 6'23"
55 kms left and the gap is comming down rapidly now with Argos working for the sprint king Kittel, 3'55"is all that is left
23 kms two go and the break is nearly caught but Forero has decided to go solo from it
14 kms left and they are caught
This Oman stage conditions really hurt the train echelons galore Guardini is having to follow Breschel 2.5 to go
Kittel, Rojas and Felline top 3 - Guardini 10th
Top 10
GC: Nibali wins Oman
Points:
KOTM:
Youth:
Team:
Grrr still no stage win but in GC we keep doing well, overall though we are happy though as Nibali was very strong.
Next race is Omloop Het Nieuwsblad which wont be live on tv we will show the result though, The next live racing is Strade Bianche |
