Loving the jerseys, and a great leadout by David to earn the win. Also great presentation as always, the screens are still terrific! I can't believe this is PCM 10!
@ kitface - Yeah I like the jerseys as well. Thanks for the nice words about the presentation, I'm trying a bit harder with it this season, but I'm stil la bit of a slacker.
@ Spilak23 - Thank you, David did his part very well! And thanks!
@ Freaitas - It was! Atleast its not Veiylux (pronounciation wise)
A bit late, but.. great win there I mentioned before, that Downing maybe can achieve a better result than in first stage, but a win.. that's simply fantastic
Sorry everyone, I've been very busy the past few days, so haven't had much extra time to play or report the stages, but I plan to have an update on the weekend.

Thanks! Its a hilly stage, but barely that. And it aint Willunga, so Australia is the only country it would even count as a hill in
The stage has a fairly hilly finish, so it could be useful for me, if I am to go for the win here. I dont see there, being too many attacks though as there are still two hilly stages yet to come. But atleast I know the team will be worknig for me today!
Race Report
The days break contains a handful of rider far down in the general classification, so no danger there, but with 16 points available in the KoM sprint, Daniel Teklehaimanot must be careful. Luckily for him, no one, was close to him, and he retains his lead for another day!
With 7km left, Eisel went on the attack. I felt it was the right time to follow, so Eisel and I gain almost 20 seconds on the peloton.
Going into the final km, I've dropped Eisel who probably had trouble with the hill. I'm all alone, but in my earpiece I can hear my manager shouting at me, as the peloton is charging for the line now!
But I just barely held them off to take my first win of the season! This win is amazing because it gives me lots of motivation, and I can feel it will be a good season. It's also gonig to help me, getting a place in a GT, as I've proved I can lead out the sprints and get some stage wins
