Team Meeting
Everyone will just do their best and Klodie will try for a top 3 on the stage (his form will really be tested).
Rast sets the early best time at 12:12.
Van Garderen has a disapointing ride, finishing 6 seconds behind Rast.
Soler comes through 7 seconds slower than the Swiss.
McEwen rides like a man possesed and beats Rast's time by 5 seconds, but Lequatre beats McEwen's time by 8 seconds, to make the current top 3 all from Radioshack!
Unsuprisingly, Gadret loses 33 seconds to Lequatre.
Kwaitkowski comes through 2nd, just 7 seconds slower than Lequatre, and
amazingly, Hunter beats Lequatre's time by a few tenths of a second! The Shack hold places 1-5!
Busche comes through 5th, 10 seconds slower than Hunter (I am playing on hard, btw...)
Garzelli has a good ride and comes through in the current 6th place, 11 seconds behind Hunter.
Italian Time Trial champion Pinotti has a terrible ride, 22 seconds slower than the South African.
Kiryienka comes through +:22 too.
It's looking more and more like the stage will go to a Radioshack rider, as Roche finishes +:25.
Kloden proves that he has great form for his first race of the season and beats Hunter's time by 12 seconds!
Anton will have to make up some time, as he finishes 34 seconds slower than Klodie.

This is pretty common in the Vuelta de Andalucia ITT. I had the same with my Monster team (1-2-3-5) and I think it was baia who also had this with his Movistar-team. Don't know how it's possible, but it is....
Don't know if you used pre-season training camps to boost your rider's form, but if so, it's pretty normal what happened. Specially in the beginning of the season when most riders have poor form.
Team Meeting
Rast, Lequatre, Kwaitkowski and Busche will relay at the front of the pelaton to make sure that the break doesn't get to much of a gap. Maruvyev will protect Kloden while McEwen and Hunter will sit at the back of the pelaton. Klodie will watch and try to follow the right moves.
At 108 K Hunter falls in the wet conditions, but he gets up quickly and catches up to the field 2 km later.
At 105 K there is no one out front, so Pinotti makes a surprise attack out of the peleton!
It doesn't last long, as Busche pulls him back 2 kilometers later.
At 85 K Possoni's life flashes before his eyes when he falls inside the peleton and almost gets run over by a car! 1 km later Perez slips on the wet roads too. They would both rejoin the peleton a few kilometers leter.
At 80 K Onda's D. Fernandez is finaly let go up the road.
At 70 K HTC attack again, but this time with Craig Lewis. He would catch up to Fernandez 5 km later.
Yet another fall in the pelaton, as Barle hits the deck with 51 K to go. Movistar's leader Vasil Kiryienka also crashes is forced to abandon with a dislocated elbow (return end March).
At 40 K the break still has a lead of 2:55 when Gadret attacks.
The Shack drives the pace forward and catches him 1 km later.
Going over the summit of the final climb (30 K) no favorites have attacked and the break's lead is under a minute. Because of Radioshack's hard pace a split appears in the field. Maruvyev, Busche, Lequatre, Kloden, Gadret, Garzelli, Soler, and Roche all make the cut, but no Anton.
At 6 K the break is caught and Kloden's group still has 35 seconds on Anton's group. Kwaitkowski crashes from within Anton's group and will most likely lose his white jersey.
Garzelli shows that he still has some kick and wins the stage, but Kloden stays in Yellow . Rojas sprints up to our group and gives Anton's group the same time

Nice job splitting the field, but Rojas ruined it...
I recomend on the real big Mountains to have Busche protect Klodie instead of Muravyev, but who am I to say?
RIP Exxon Duke, David Veilleux, Double Feature, and Monster Energy
The reason that I was using Muravyev and not Busche was because Muravyev had better fitness, but I'm not sure how much of a differnece it would make...
Team Meeting
We will use the same tactics as yesterday, trying to keep Klodie in the leader's jersey.
Possoni and Wegulius are the most prominent riders in the 6-man breakaway.
Going over the top of the final major climb (before the finish) the break has been caught and the peleton splits. Roche, Pinotti, V. Efimkin, and Gadret don't make the split. Everyone but Gadret makes it up to the lead group.
At 3 K De Waele attacks and is followed by Soler, Van Garderen, Knees, Nocentini, Garzelli, Kloden, Vogondy, and Efimkin.
De Waele has a 19 second lead on the field going under the 1 K banner.
De Waele holds on the win the stage and move up to third in the overall.
Garzelli sprints for second and Anton beats out Kloden for the final time bonus, so Garzelli steals Klodie's Yellow Jersey.

Team Meeting
Today we will set it up for McEwen (unless Hunter feels better). Buche and Kwaitkowski will both relay and make sure that the break doesn't get the stage win today.
Saramotins, Konig, and Mestre all make it into today's 11 man break.
At 98 K the break has a 2:22 lead and Pate attacks out of the pack. He would join the escapees 12 km later.
At 56 K Morras falls inside the peleton, but no other riders are affected.
At 8 K the break has been caught and Radioshack have got it lined up in the order of Muravyev -> Lequatre -> Rast -> Hunter -> McEwen.
It's an easy victory for Rojas, a he finishes well ahead of the rest of the peleton.
Hunter decided to follow Fernandez's wheel at 1.2 K while McEwen sprinted ahead. It would pay off as he get's third.

Startlist
Kloden is the ovious favorite here, but Katusha will try to steal the show with Karpets, Caruso, Trofimov, and Di Luca. Watch out for Geox, who bring J.J. Cobo, De la Fuente, and Marcel Wyss. Other favorites include Carrara, De Gendt, Hoogerland, M. Iglinskiy, Tiralongo, Masciarelli, Spilak, Gavezzi, and Capecchi.
The Shack
We will try to get Klodie the victory. Zubeldia will have a free role and Busche will protect Klodie. The rest of the team will relay to make sure the break doesn't take the win.
At 16 K the break has been caught and the field splits under Astana's hard tempo. Trofimov and Hoogerland are miss out. The entire Katusha team (except Karpets) sits up and waits for Trofimov and will try and help their leader regain contact.
At 11 K Radioshack causes another split in the field. Spilak, Masciarelli, Gavezzi, Tiralongo, Iglinskiy, and Kloden are the only favorites who manage to follow the blistering tempo.
pic
At 9 K Kloden attacks and is followed by Masciarelli and Gavezzi.
At 7 K Kloden gets a 7 second gap on Masciarelli and Gavezzi, who have a 17 second lead on Loosli, Iglinskiy, Spilak, Busche, Rast, and Maruvyev.
1 km later Kloden's lead is up to 31 seconds and Spilak, Iglinskiy, and Loosli make it up to Gavezzi and Masciarelli. The three Radioshack boys are dropped.
It's looking good for the German, as he goes under the 1 K banner with a 36 second lead on his chasers.
At the same time Bazayev and Tiralongo crash within the peleton.
Kloden snags his first win of the season!
