Andy to Columbia is a nice one
But Saxo signing Sella is really bad and unrealistic

The Tour has ended but we're back in business the following day in Spain
Prueba Villafranca de Ordizia
Angel Vicioso
 Tiago Machado
João Cabreira
Pedro Romero
José António Garrido
Narcio Valeron
 Lucas Haedo
Jorge Roca
The numerous front group had the presence of our representant Pedro Romero
They only got seen by the pack in the last 15km where Caisse and Euskaltel set an infernous pace!
Quickly the breakaway starts to shatter. Vicioso attacks in the peloton!!
In the descent our leader is represented in the front group
But Luis Leon Sanchez and Tiago Machado come right after them!
As they reach them Leon Sanchez instantly makes another move! 3.5km to the finish line!!
Vicioso follows with Egoi Martinez on his tail!
The sprint begins...
Vicioso takes the lead...
And it's between Vicioso and Martinez who will win?...
And Martinez steals it from us in his last breath!!
Classification
1 Egoi Martínez Euskaltel - Euskadi 4h33'17
2 Ángel Vicioso LA - MSS - Póvoa de Varzím s.t.

Circuito de Gexto
Constantino Zaballa
Tiago Machado
Pedro Romero
Rogério Batista
Narico Valéron
Jorge Roca
The breakaway with underdog riders...
And as in Ordizia the pack only woke up in the final. In the penultimate climb Machado follows Marchante and Santos Gonzalez moves!
Later an avalanche of attacks by the favourites occured with Zaballa, Leon Sanchez, Plaza, Gil, Pimienta etc..
a group was formed where T.Machado is protecting C.Zaballa
Last passage through the climb and LLS has an advantage but Zaballa is looking good
Tiago Machado isnt up front anymore... André Vital is in the lead of LLSanchez and Zaballa group. Our rider must be considered one of the favs for the sprint!
But OH NOO!! Zaballa is in the ground... All is lost...
Plaza, Marchante and Moreno go down too...
At the finish André Vital takes it! The portuguese vice-champion honours our nation colors with a dominant victory before a spanish-crowded top10
Zaballa takes 8th despite his fast recovery... Shit happens...
Classification
1 André Vital Xacobeo Galicia 4h23'13
2 Santos González Auber 93 s.t.
3 Koldo Gil Liberty Seguros s.t.
4 Iñigo Landaluze Euskaltel - Euskadi s.t.

Unfortunately, you lost time in the first stage. If not Tiago Machado would be higher in the GC. But looking good for Volta.

Yep that's quite true Oliuj
As the gap created I tried to attack with Machado, but he wasnt in his best day and couldnt keep with the front group being caught by the pack a while later...
that minute lost on the first stage would really give him a chance of a great result here!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I should really read these other stories more often, love the way you present it.
But I'd like to see some more wins, but I guess thats the downside of not using dope

I don't like wins. Keep losing. I prefer realistic stories.
And I want to see more dialogues, you can be very funny! |

Well we've become a clean team yes but and so we havent had that many victories. However we've achieved a lot of them like kloden's hattrick in the Tour, Di Luca's and O'Grady in the Giro, Vicioso at Vuelta al Pais Vasco etc..
I could have achieve way better results of course but that's me being a crappy player

Well if that's what you really want...
I'll be working hard to fullfill your expectations then but I think I'm already very good at losing
