That was a really impressive sprint train - if there was any doubt over PCM11, I think pokerstars just put it to rest with that impressive show. Hopefully we'll see some other teams having a go in the next few stages.

If you continue like this Mohs will even have the chance to make the TTT forgotten.  |

Really shitty start for me. 5th on the TTT is a bit worse than expected, but acceptable. Stage 2 was utter shit. Holloway in 8th with only Bernaudeau able to hang on to the front group. 6 riders lost out which means I have now no chance of a good result. Too bad!

Wow. That was quite a sprint train. Looks like it would have been useful with some more sprinters in the team now.

Indeed. It was hard to know, but hopefully we will keep on playing THIS version for some seasons, so we can all grow acostumed to it.

I disagree. I think Man-Game should be always run on the BEST PCM version - on the version which has the best AI gameplay. And IMO it adds another dimension to the Man-Game, results will be then more unpredictable, which would be good, I think. But anyway, if next versions of PCM will be worse than PCM11, then you are probably right.

So, Pearl Adidas nowhere to be seen in the first stages in Qatar. Sounds familiar...

Well I think it would be best to have the same version for more than 1 year. This version seems to be much better at sprints, but the former versions was pretty shit at that imo, so many people decided not to spend money on a sprinter - And a sprint train! I know it's the same for all of us, but I like the fact that I know the game and how it works.

*Hoping for a split that eliminates all the sprinters but keeps Zabriskie and/or Wiggins in place*

So both Posthuma and Rosseler at the back today. Good news that there weren't any splits in the pack or our race would have been really over.

Good news for you then, Vesuvio have race lead now, that will surely mean losing some of the GC placings Ive somehow kept hold of so far!
The GC situation right now though does mean that I can hardly complain about having now missed out on 2 stage wins by a tiny margin!

Different race today with unusual weather and no real sprint train at all. Great job by first three and congrats to Wikipedia.

Nice stage for Oz imo Pretty happy about Cooke's sprint today and a 6th place is very good in such a race. Also some nice racing by Ford, good to see some Oz's in the breaks.
Nice screens, btw! (But just a small note, SN: There's an updated micro-jersey for Oz Cycling Well, that's not too important, I know)

Weird, was sure I updated my micro-jersey file - guess it didnt save properly. I used the updated one on Stage 2 afterall!

A serious lack of a yellow jersey boost for Castaneda there. Looked to be quite nicely positioned in the closing stages. |

Again, disappointing. You would expect a sprinter with a higher flat stat to at least be able to get a good position.
