@Beleg32 - Thanks, much appreciated 
purepasd - Thank you very much. Glad you like it 
PCM rulezz - Hope so too, and indeed Pauwels was great. He's got a nice potential too, so with few months he might improve so he can really contend in stage races.
Tour Down Under - Stage 5
McLaren Vale – Old Willunga Hill
Stage 5. The Queen stage of this year's Tour Down Under. The toughest stage in the history of the race. The battle for the GC will play out here and will most likely decide the winner. This stage can end in both ways. Either there will be mass sprint with no gaps, or elite puncheurs attacking and leaving the sprinters behind. If the race will be raced at low tempo early on expect a mass sprint.
Favourites :
**** Van Avermaet
*** Uran, Valverde
** Astraloza, Vicisio, Freire, Goss
* Ciolek, Roche, Farrar, Marcato
Team Objective
The plan is to finish with the elite at the end. Looking at Ciolek's form, 60 points I don't think it's good enough to get into podium or Top 10, as there are clearly riders with better form. We'll try, but the main goal is to finish with the peleton or the elite attackers.
No loss of time to the favourites

Let's see what Ciolek is able to do at the old willunga hill I guess you have to be in van Avermaet's wheel

I really like these small previews. Especially the team goal part, a bit like Squire's tactics meeting. It's nice to see whether you are able to achieve the goals you set yourself or not

@ Thanks all ! Hope you will enjoy the stage 
Tour Down Under - Stage 5
McLaren Vale – Old Willunga Hill
The first break is the break of the day. Van Keirsbulck got into the break, but the break consists of one rider especially who is very dangerous. Alejandro Valverde is present, along Karsten Kroon ( Saxobank ) and Dimitriy Muravyev ( Astana ). All riders are more than 5 minutes in the GC, except Guillame who is within 20seconds of the leader.
On the first ascent on Willunga Van Summeren is giving it a go. The break has 2’32” minutes of advantage, but it’s reduced to 3 riders with Guillame not being able to follow the high pace.
10km to go and it’s BMC, Sky and GreenEdge working furiously at the front of the peleton. The break has just 52’ seconds over peleton. It will be a close call.
6km to go and Kroon is leading the duo behind him. Valverde is ready to strike soon, as thepeleton is almost behind them. The gap is now 28’ meager seconds.
2.5km to go and it’s going to finish in the mass sprint! The peleton can already see the trio and will likely to catch them. Ciolek isn’t in good position and is trying to follow Roche’s wheel. Greg Van Avermaet is far behind, will he again produce massive acceleration, like last time ?
1km to go and it’s still Valverde leading. Kroon and Muravyev are overtaken by very fast peleton now. Ciolek is struggling, his neutral daily form doesn’t help, we are now hoping that there won’t be any time gaps.
Out of nowhere. Greg Van Avermaet wins again ! What a amazing acceleration once again. Astarloza and Uran round off the podium. Valverde’s valiant efforts today are rewarded with 5th palce. Ciolek finishes on respectable 22nd position.

Team’s Reaction
The stage wasn't for us. Ciolek form wasn't best, so we didn't expect brilliant result here. But still with the result being so-so, we moved up to he 3rd in GC and that's more than I hoped for at the start of TdU. With bit of luck we can even win the overall with good daily form tomorrow.
Also again great team performance is capped as we lead Team Competition, as well as Pauwels securing his jersey today. Ciolek is also in good position to win Points Jersey too. Overall good stage for us and we achieved our team goal for today.

Ciolek stayed with the best, and is still on the podium. Hope he can hold on to that.

By the way, how come your finish is TDU style? Mine are always normal. Has that got something to do with graphic settings?

He's using NextGen sponsorkits, which you can download here.
Oh, and Ciolek is doing great! Overall podium looks within reach.

Ciolek on podium course. Great. Although it`s unlucky that these short hills are not like in real in PCM.
@fcancellara: Install Jacky Durands Sponsor Kit from the DL section. Several races are included there. |

The podium in the next stage would secure your points and podium in GC so hopefully you can accomplish that, although it will be though with all those other big sprinters around! And well, van Avermaet came dropping out of the sky again, nowhere to be seen in the photo before the last one!
I guess indermediate sprints wouldn't be a bad idea indeed...

@PCM rulezz - Indeed and thanks 
@FreitasPCM - We hope so too 
fcancellara - You question has been answered Really great pack.
@Pellizotti2 - Thank you Pelli 
@roturn - Thank you, yea bit of a shame, but well hopefully someday Cyanide might fix that somehow.
sutty68 - Thank you. And yes we will definitely try to get some bonus seconds on the intermediate sprints We'll see how it goes.
@jona777 - It will be tough, but Ciolek with good daily form might do it. And yes indeed twice in a row Greg came out of nowhere and won. Amazing. We went for the intermediate sprints indeed, later today you'll see how we did 
I played the stage and will post it later today or tomorrow. I am not going to spoil it, but there was a lot of drama, especially in those cirteriums in PCM there's a lot of drama 
Also we got an invite to Giro della Calabria where Sylvain Chavanel will lead us. After TdU there will be Weekly News, bringing you back result from San Luis and more
