Very nice! Same sprint stats, only Steegmans is better at the cobbles. But you still have Pipo! So, no problems

STAGE 20 : MONTELIMAR - MONT VENTOUX
There was a 11-man breakaway today.They were leading the stage until the ascent to the Mount Ventoux began
First attack at the final climb comes from Menchov...he´s still 6th in the overall so we have to follow!
Contador doesn´t let him go
Next attacks..This time from Andy Schleck,Karpets and Sanchez
So with more than 10 km to go this was the first chasing group of the leader Contador who doesn´t seem tired or something like that he attacks again and again like a machine
After a few km´s Schleck,Evans,Sanchez and Menchov make another move.Karpets cannot counter at the moment
But now he can!He doesn´t want to let Sanchez and Menchov go
Contador is in front and it seems that this is his next coup!8km to go
Menchov is behind him
Then the group with Sastre and Schleck comes at this point where Contador was 2minutes agoSamuel Sanchez is there ,too
Evans and Pereiro are in the third chasing group
And Karpets is in one group with Leipheimer and Rogers
Last 2 km for Contador;he´s still almost 2 minutes in front of Menchov
Menchov is far behind him
Third group with Sanchez,Schleck,Armstrong and Sastre
He can celebrate his next stage win and Tour victory even 30 metres before the stage is over
Menchov is second
Sanchez is third in front of Armstrong
Then Evans comes ,he´s 7th in front of Pereiro
And here comes Karpets but he lost so many seconds to Menchov that he will loose his 5th position in the overall!Poor stage but still a good Tour by him

Great result with Karpets,very nice tactical riding
And Kreuziger is 9th as in real
And my guess is Hushovd for the last stage
Go Roman!

LAST STAGE : MONTEREAU - PARIS CHAMPS-ELYSEES
It´s the last flat stage and the last chance for McEwen to win a Tour stage this year
Alberto Contador really enjoyed the last stage in his leader jersey;Great Tour by him,he was unbeatable!
The breakaway was really hard to catch today but 10 km before the stage ends the pack reached them on the Champs-Elysees
The sprint trains were ready for the last sprint expect our train!McEwen couldn´t follow Steegmans and had to go on his own.But also Hushovd had to takes another backwheel today because Haussler wasn´t here!
The sprint begins and Förster takes the lead first but McEwen was really fast there.On the right side Boonen,Hushovd,Ciolek and Petacchi came with a high speed
The Italian Petacchi takes the lead of Förster
Petacchi is still in front but Hushovd comes on the right side;McEwen on the left side
But the finish line came to early for McEwen.Petacchi wins at the Champs-Elysees in front of Hushovd,McEwen and Ciolek becomes 4th
With 2,9 km to go there was a big crash in the last part of the pack!Also Menchov was involved there
I´ve already thought that Karpets could take his 5th place in the overall but Menchov comes with the same time to the finish because his crash was only 2,9 km before the stage.Bad luck for usIn reality Menchov came 2´30 behind Karpets to the finish but it doesn´t matter

Some nice catches! Does Groth really have potential? Because I signed an Italian from 19yo with mountain stats of 69! And don't you think that Gerrans is a bit overrated in his Hill stats?
It's cool that you have some new riders! Still looking for a cobble rider now Steegmans leaves?

1)Yes our scout said that Groth will have an amazing career!
2)Well Gerrans is a good rider and so i don´t think that he is overrated because in my db there are many riders with 80+ in hills!
3)Yeah we had the idea to sign Breschel but it seems that his contract will hold on for 2 years |

Maybe you can buy him after October? There is probably a lot of oil-money in your team
P.S; in my DB, Gerrans has 74 hill...
