Which is the best way of reporting? One big screen or the "random" style?

The pictures do make this story fairly unique - but it is nice to read text writtern normally, as opposed to all in capitals.
And nice results with G in Belgium btw

Cape Argus Pick'n Pay
5 Rapha riders were sent to South Africa to take part in the largest race in the world. A couple of other professional teams also paticipate, but the most of the riders are neo-pros or people cycling for health.
A big group of riders qukly got a big gap in this nervous race.
Kristian House was one of the riders and in the middle of the race the group were splitted in the steep hills. Matej Mugerli (Adria Mobil), and Aitor Galdos (Caja Rural) were the other 2 riders in the group.
Both Galdos and Mugleri were stronger than House today. When Mugleri attacked in the last hill, House dropped.
Galdos caught Mugerli, but Mugerli who had a great day, simply launched another attack. Galdos couldn't follow Mugerli anymore so Mugerli took n solo win.
The gap were so big behing House that he easily could take the 3rd.

Can you post the race profile before each stage? It`s easier to understand the stage. |

Stage Profiles:
Comment by the stagemaker SN:
Not the highest profile of British stage races, but as Rjc can back up (he has raced it) it is a tough route, and an all rounder with a strong team will be required to win it. Starting with a testing prologue, including a couple of hillier stages, a TTT, and a race ending mountain stage - who said Britain was all flat?
Does Rapha have that "strong all rounder" and a strong team? We will soon know...

Ras de Cymru - Prologue
A hilly and 8 km long prologue is the first stage of Ras de Cymru. What can Meyer, Porte and Thomas do?
Cameron Meyer finishes as 8th. 19 seconds behind the winner...
... Geraint Thomas. Thomas rode 8 kms on 11'50 minutes and won the stage.
Not even Richie Porte could challange Thomas. Porte finished 11th 22 seconds behind.
After his win in Driedaagse van West-Vlaanderen, Thomas is in great shape. Will he might hold the leader jersey the whole tour?

Ras de Cymru - Stage 1
A hilly criterium, who probably will end up in a bunch sprint. Will the sprinters be tired or will an all-rounder like Thomas have chance?
A three man breakawy got a gap. Since we didn't had any cyclist in the breakaway and the leader jersey, we paced in the bunch to catch them.
After a huge work by the team we caught them and the sprint begun. Bobbie Traksel (Landbouwkrediet) ,Federico Canuti (Colnago - CSF Inox)
and, Gene Michael Bates (V Australia) gave Thomas a hard fight!
It was a close one but...
...Geraint Thomas wins!

Ras de Cymru - Stage 3
Stage 3 is an Team Time Trail. With riders like Porte, Meyer, Thomas and Dempster, Rapha is one of the favourites. However, the TTT is rated as a mountain stage, will the team stick toegheter?
Saur - Sojasun, with Sebastian Joly, only manages 9th + 1'00. This is off course an disappointment for Joly who was 3rd in the GC before this stage.
Charlie Wegelius is one of the favourites in the GC. He is riding for UnitedHealthcare Pro Cycling. They takes the lead with only one team left on the course...
... the last team on the course is Rapha. All riders aren able to follow even if McEvoy struggles. Our time at the stage is 27'05 minutes. That's 18 sedonds faster that UnitedHealthcare, which means we win the TTT!
Thomas keeps the leader jersey in a Rapha dominated GC!

Ras de Cymru - Stage 4
Stage four of Ras de Cymru is a Mountian Criterium and one of the most desicive stages of this tour. Riders like Sutherland and Joly, who lost a lot of time in yesterday's TTT will probably attack and try to earn some time.
After an attack by Peter Kennaugh, Luke Rowe finally made a gap with 3 other riders. This turned out to be a very important break by the end of the day.
With one lap to go Cahrles Wegelius attacked. Several riders followed him: Joly, Fleeman, Sutherland, Traksel and Richie Porte. However, Geraint Thomas was left behind.
1 km before the last Intermediate Sprint, the nine man group with Wegelius and Porte caught the breakawy with Rowe. The group were now a 13 man group. 2 of the riders were Rapha riders and only one hill left!
The group is splitted in the last hill but both Rowe and Porte satys within it. Rowe makes the leadout for Porte
And Richie Porte wins! Rowe celebrates and Wegelius passes him.
In the bunch Thomas attacks to gain some time and finishes 1'26 behind Porte.

Ras de Cymru - Stage 5
Stage five looks like an easy one, but there is a steep little hill at the who could split the bunch and make a puncher win, instead of a sprinter.
Cameron Meyer (In the Youth Classification Jersey) is in the breakaway.
The breakawy is caught and it ends up in a mass sprint. Porte and Hermans sets up the sprint for Thomas.
The lead out is perfect and Geraint Thomas wins the stage! One more stage win at Ras de Cymru for Rapha!.

Ras de Cymru - Stage 6 (Final Stage!)
Geraint Thomas crashed at the begining of the stage. However, he was able to continue the stage.
Thomas Faiers (Wonderful Pistachios Cycling) was in the break. He rode solo the whole stage...
The bunch was still behind Faiers when we entered the last climb. Thomas sprinted for the Intermediate sprint and got a gap. After the the sprint, Thomas continued to ride instead of waiting for the bunch.
The bunch never caught Thomas after the sprint, and Thomas never caught Faiers. Stage victory for Thomas Faiers! Behind, Wegelius attacked and took the third just in front of Richie Porte.

Some top results in Wales there. Are you sure Stages 3 and 4 are rated as Mountain stages? They should be hilly stages at best.

April = Classics
Tour of the Resevoir:
Lieuwe Westra (Vacansoleil) won Tour de Resevoir in a two man break. The other guy int the break was Francesco Ginanni (Androni Giocattoli). Dan Craven was the best Rapha rider, he finished 4th.
Ray Killey Road Race
Peter Sagan won the Ray Killey road race in a bunch sprint. Richie Porte was 7th and the best Rapha rider.
Paris - Roubaix
We rode the Paris - Roubaix. Heinrich Haussler won, but Roubaix wasn't any hit for Rapha. Geraint Thomas was our best rider on 27th.
Tour of the Battenkill
Rapha took a double victory at in the tour of Battenkill. Thomas won and Hermans was 2nd.
Athens Twilight
Rapha took another victory at the Athens Twilight. This time Dean Downing won the bunch sprint.
East Midlands Int. CiCLE Classics
A top-shaped Geraint Thomas won again at East Midlands.
Croe Morgans Tour of the West
Peter Kennaugh won the Tour of the West.
With all theese victories, I should might change to extreme level. However, I have already played the Tour of the Gila, so I will wait until Tour of California. I will play the first stages on hard level. Maybe I just need better opposition.

@ tsmoha: Thanks!
@ SportingNonsense: I didn't found any way to change the grade of the stage (flat, hilly, mountain) in the editor so I just gave them a number (under 0.5 for hills) but for some reason the game rate stage 3 and 4 as mountain stages!

I think, chaning to Extreme will be a good decision! And don't fear this "Extreme", you will still have chances to do some nice results/wins!
