Just made my sprint train on the last hill and for some reason they let me ride away.

Reminds me of when Liquigas with Sagan/ Nibali attacked in a grand tour on a daredevil decent towards the finish with Pablo Lastras I think! |

I think there were 5 liquigas riders there, with Nibali wanting the bonus seconds, and Lastras almost stole it from under their noses and would've if Sagan didn't disobey orders to make sure they took the stage.

It was not sagan who disobeyed orders. It was Agnoli who for some reason sprinted so that nibali ended up 4th and missing out on the bonus seconds. Sagan even created a gap to nibali inside the last km when lastras was on his wheel to help nibali. |

We might be thinking of different stages, I'm talking about stage 6 of the Vuelta 2011, where Liquigas had 4 of the 5 riders in the lead group and almost lost the stage thanks to poor tactics before Sagan broke team orders to make sure Lastras (who finished 2nd on the stage) didn't steal it.

It's very obviously the same stage, as that definitely didn't happen more than once.

It doesn't necassarily have to do with the difficulty, there's a bug on flat stages with a (quite big) hill to the end sometimes. Relay hard, and your train gets away

Happened to me recently as well in stage 2 of the Valley of the Sun Stage Race. I really hope they fix it in PCM 2013. |

Finally a more believable result. Top 5 in Beverbeek Classic behind riders like Vantomme, Napolitano and Amorison. |

level is hard but modified so that its closer to extreme than hard.
@Jesleyh I wasn't really relaying that hard, it was under 90% and the leading guy was only HILL68.
Sometimes these things just happen, I haven't discovered any mastermind tactics.

ING - Shell Pro Cycling Team 
Okay, I started a new career. ING - Shell. It's focussed on the BeNeLux, just like my last career.
I wanted to make a Colombian team at first, but couldn't find a great jersey with multiple NC's, + transferts etc. and had quite a bit motivation for this idea, too.
It's a bit similair to the KLM project, but as said, the stats update lowered my motivation for that a bit, since I want to play with the new monuments(and some other) stats.
For the first time ever, I decided to edit a few stats as well. Most of them are CT(and BeNeLux) stats. Nobody is lowered/highered really hard though, especially not from my team I think. At least my leaders have exact the same stats as they have in the Daily DB.
Spoiler ps. The edited BeNeLux stats are 90% the ones that I sent to Alakagom earlier, and most of them will be included in the Daily DB anyway 
This team is better than the KLM team, and also BeNeLux instead of just Dutch. Here's the team:
I want to promote in the first year, but if I fail, there's no problem, second year is also okay.
I've signed quite a few guys who I know have potential(also RL some of them), and the rest is filled with helpers.
4 Neo-profs are included as well."
Note: I signed 5, but fired one, who was useless.
Problem for me is, that the contracts of all my leaders(except Groenewegen) are expiring in 2013, while the helpers all have a contract until 2014/2015. So my team will probably be quite big in 2014(I always tend to sign 2-4 U23 riders), especially for a CT team.
I think my team is quite balanced. I've got guys capable of Top 10's/Top 5's on every area, with a few guys(Groenewegen, De Bie, Olivier & Ter Haar) having huge potential. Wonder if one of them is going to hit the 80's...
What do you think of the team?

Yes, he was really disappointing in 2012. 2013 seems to go a bit better for him, but still, no reason to get him higher than this for now.
But what do you think of the team?
