We're going for a win with Gutierrez. Valverde has to stay in front. I hope Valverde finishes within 20 seconds.

Valverde has a bad day, and also a bad time. +14 seconds from Rosseler.
Gutierrez sets the best time! Valverde is now at +23, lets hope it stays this way.

And it Does! Gutierrez wins, Valverde at 23 seconds, LL Sanchez Gil at 24 seconds and Rodriguez at 31 seconds.

Paris-Nice stage 2: Amilly-Nevers
img129.imageshack.us/img129/6756/pan2co7.jpg
The first of 2 flat stages. This will probably lead out to a mass sprint. Valverde will try to win some bonifications.

The start in Amilly.
img45.imageshack.us/img45/9721/pcm0279dg9.png
8 riders try to break away. 8 minutes is their maximum lead.
img129.imageshack.us/img129/2762/pcm0280sn3.png
15km before the finish Müller and Flens try to break away.
img129.imageshack.us/img129/5308/pcm0282zx7.png
But when the pack got them back Rojas positioned Valverde. Nazon starts the sprint from 2km!
img129.imageshack.us/img129/3452/pcm0283ns1.png

Paris-Nice stage 3: Nevers-Belleville
img237.imageshack.us/img237/3619/pan3hx6.jpg
A 'flat' stage, but the final hill could provide an attack from one of the favourites.

When we reach the climbs, rodriguez attacks.
img237.imageshack.us/img237/2703/pcm0293oq9.png
He wins the second mountain sprint, and also the third.
img57.imageshack.us/img57/285/pcm0295lb8.png
But just before the 4th the favourites attack! Valverde Counters.
img504.imageshack.us/img504/5590/pcm0298lj4.png

A 'warming up' for tommorow. This stage shouldn't be that hard for Valverde.

The peloton at the start of the climb, the Col de la Croix de Chaubouret.
img48.imageshack.us/img48/2264/pcm0302se3.png
Valverde counters Dekkers attack.
img48.imageshack.us/img48/2264/pcm0302se3.png
And he is simply too strong! Dekker can't keep up. But he relaxes, he'll need his energy tommorow.
img48.imageshack.us/img48/9649/pcm0305bl7.png
Valverde is the first at the top.

The big group heading downhill.

Sanchez attacks in the last few kilometers! He isn't freatning for Valverde, he is at 4 and a half minutes in the GC.

Paris-Nice stage 5: Montélimar-Le Mont Serain aux Ventoux
img104.imageshack.us/img104/3609/pan5cl4.jpg
D-Day in Paris-Nice, Valverde must stay in front today.
 
Il Gladiatore
Problem!
I probably did something wrong, and so the game simulated the Stage to the mont Ventoux!!:cry: Second problem, Valverde (Condition 94??) lost a huge amount of time and is now number 11 in the GC.Sad:x But our goal was to win a stage and we did that so, i've got 3 options:
-1. Continue an try to get a little bit higher in the GC.
-2. Sim Paris-Nice and focus on the Tirreno-Adriatico.
-3. Sim both and go to the classiques.

I'll make a Poll, please vote so i can continue tomorrow.Wink

my opinion: you should start a new carrer on HARD, pls add this choice for me Wink
 
Il Gladiatore
I though so too, but when i started it was so incredibly boring, i didn't have any fun. I did this career again and i won the stage with Valverde, fun was back. But i'll switch to Hard just before the giro, because when my riders are in top form, it's way to easy. and i wanna have a realistic giro.

Sorry, i wont start a new career, only when te cyclocross db is out. and i'll do track cycling in the winter(of the career).

Another attacking day for Valverde. Let's hope he'll win some time.

In the final of the race, it's Dekker who counters Valverdes attack.

Dekker and Valverde together follow leader Schumacher.
