If you go into your 'my documents' select PCM13, click weekly saves and copy your last 'in week' game...paste that into the 'users'...'yourname'...'database'..'solo'...then name of the database you are using for that particular game and delete the other save within that folder.
The game should load fine, but you may just lose some of the races you may have done. Depends when your last race was and when your last weekly save was. Hope that makes sense.
I understand, the problem is that I can't load ANY game. I've tried re-installing and it doesn't work.
The problem is that when I see the main screen I click on load (which gives you a selection of which game you want to load.) and when I click on that it doesn't work.

Big thanks to jdog for making this AMAZING userbar!
My first ever one day race! I've grown up on one-day races so the concept of not having to save energy even at the finish isn't new to me.
A stretched out 168 rider peloton would start the race on a rather steep downhill. They were all hoping that the rain would hold, especially with some tough, technical and steep downhills on the course which didn't need to be made any harder.
Johnnie Walker got the nod to attack, he stayed alone for a bit, before being joined by D. Frattini (UHC) and S. Modolo (BAR). Modolo was the only one who actually relayed, and he was starting to get annoyed. He didn't want to launch an attack from his companions though, with Radioshack and Argos maintaining the gap from the peloton.
They started easing off though, and the break entered the first Strada Bianca with a comfortable lead.
Modolo launched his move before the 2nd White Road, but Johnnie finally started to relay and managed to get him back.
However it seemed that our representative wasn't having the best of luck, he was overcome by a corner at -6%. Johnnie's a fighter though, and he stood up and rode back to the awaiting leaders.
Modolo tried another attack, more threatening but again the other two guys in the break were aware and brought him back again.
Meanwhile in the peloton, it was Movistar, Garmin and still Radioshack pulling a hard pace, as Modolo attacked for a third time, again without success.
The high pace caused two splits with 28km to go, I was in A1 along with McCauley-who helped relay.
When there were more splits, I worked really hard and got up to the new A1, passing Hucker as I went.
The break was caught, but Modolo was still out front by a little bit. The Drapac rider you see there is Johnnie, right after being caught.
With even more splits, Lapthorne, Goesinnen and Sulzberger were the Drapac riders in the peloton, while I was coming around the corner.
Will Walker did a great job, and helped me back into the peloton, but my work was not over.
A group of four got away, the second of the favourites' attacks after Simon Geschke (ARG) joined Modolo earlier. They were Reda and Pellizotti from Androni, and Monfort and Gallopin from Radioshack.
Geschke got away from Modolo as the group of four got closer. Meanwhile, Sulzberger was helping Goesinnen get away from the peloton.
Despite this, Sulzberger got the best result for our team, a top 10! Will Walker led home A1 and Simon Geschke took an amazing solo win for Argos-Shimano, something that you don't usually see - an Argos rider winning uphill.
Post-Race
Great result for the team! 10th and 12th place! I was happy with my overall performance, and I'm happy to get a nice reality check now that the season is in full flow. I'll be staying in Italy for the European Summer . That's of course before the GP Bastianelli and then the USA Pro Cycling Challenge.
Cheers, Ryan!

After 3 months of beach days and sightseeing, it was time to get back into the swing of things for the GP Bastianelli.
We'd selected the best team possible and were aiming for a Top 8 finish.
The tactic was to stay up front and avoid splits. When I got to the front Rusli was already attacking. With him in the eventual breakaway were A. Furlan (CWO), S. Praxmarer (TIR), Z. Der (UNA) and R. Borger
As the road started to rise, I was trying hard to stay up front, but it wasn't showing and I lead the peloton up the hill.
It wouldn't last long though, so I dropped back to the side of the road further down the peloton to have a chat with my best friend on the team, Floris Goesinnen.
The pace started to get very high at 80km to go. The gap to the breakaway went from 5' to 2'30" in only 3km.
Rogina (ADR) and D. Livramento (PRT) decided to test the waters a bit, and attacked.
With 25km to go, a split happened with 40 riders -including Lapthorne - were left behind. The team was placed badly though, and Goesinnen was the only man up front.
Sulzberger helped Will Walker up to the front on the downhill and then tried to get him away.
N. Libner (AMO) was caught after an earlier attack and I was out like a flash, I. Konovalovas (MTN) followed. The attack was unsuccessful though, and we were both soon in the peloton.
Another split happened! This time only 11 riders were ahead. I only just managed to stay up front.
I took Davide Rebellin's wheel, for the CCC rider had the best leadout and I was alone up front.
I couldn't keep though, and I was soon swallowed up. However the group became 36, with Sulzberger, Goesinnen and Walker now with me up front. I immediately started to set the pace for the train we set up. It was my job to get us up into a good position.
We were in a great position for the sprint, and Sulzberger launched Goesinnen in perfect fashion.
Schumacher took the win ahead of Goesinnen who just got 2nd. Sulzberger also managed 5th, much better than our goals suggested.
I managed to finish in 11th place, just outside the Top 10.
Post-Race
Our pre-race goal was Top 8. We managed that with 2 riders, and if only we had someone in that group who was actually a sprinter we probably would've won. Still, 2nd is a great result and especially getting 5th and 11th too. Now I have to travel to the U.S.A and get ready for the team's biggest race of the season. The USA Pro Cycling Challenge.
Even though I know that no-one's following, I just wanted to say that this story is going to move way faster from now on, and we have a very interesting USAPCC coming up soon.
We've sent a strong squad into our biggest race of the season. We hope that we can do well and secure a Top-25 overall finish. The first stage is a prologue where the main goal for the favourites is just not to lose time.
Johnnie Walker was our first man to set off. He, along with the rest of the team were struggling to find their rhythm on the course. RadioShack's Yaroslav Popovych set the best early time of 6'33". His time would stay at the top for a long while.
Floris Goesinnen decided to start before me. He said that he was on the form of his life and ready to put in a great performance. (+5)
He crossed the line with some energy still left in the tank. He was disappointed with his provisional 31st, 16" behind.
Then, it was my turn. Even before I left, Enrico Barbin of Bardiani was on the start ramp. I was ready, but not in extreme form. Longer time-trials are more my speciality I must say.
You can't see it in the picture, but the start ramp is just behind me there. I was trying to stay as aerodynamic as possible on the downhill to give myself a shot at a decent time.
I crossed the line in provisional 67th, 20" down on Popovych.
It looked like Popovych's lead might hold, but the last man off the blocks was Taylor Phinney (BMC). A top time-trialist.
The American took the lead by 1 second! Giving him the yellow jersey for tomorrow.
Post-Race
Since we don't have any GC ambitions, it's alright that no-one performed to well. We're just here to show people that Drapac is on the rise, and hopefully we'll do that in the coming week.
