Nice 12th after that crash, i am glad David is not injured, good luck in the next stages.
@Fifa12@Tactical defending is great, it is hard to get used to it, but then it is mor fun compared to the the old style of defending. Currently ruling the Seria A with Napoli

Thanks Avin Yeah, its more fun, but I find the AI plays a lot more of a possession style than someone I would be playing online so I like to rush at them and not wait half that game for them to get down to my end.
@ Teddy - Darn, I was hoping to get some more Fifa spam on my thread  But thanks

 Vuelta Ciclista al Pais Vasco - Stage 2
April 6th, 2013
This is already turning out, to not be quite how I had been planning it before I arrived here, but of course I'm 100% willing to work for Roman so I hope he can achieve a strong result here. Right now, Rojas is looking strong if we keep ending the stages in sprints, so maybe we'll try and change that up today.
We pick up the race with 50km left in the stage. Creber and Stannard are on the front trying to pull back the breakaway of 6 riders who have a gap of 3 minutes still. The only real threat in the break is Sicard, but its unlikely that they will survive anyway.
Now we're climbing up one of the final small hills, and its beginning to rain. This wont help out the race too much, but the only re-assurance that the peloton needs is that they can now see the break with 10km left in the stage. Its over for the break!
The sprint starts very far out. The riders probably think that starting early is better than late, because of any potential crashes that would block them. Kreuziger gets a great start, but Rojas is way too quick, and it looks like he will take the stage for sure!
And he does! Its a great win for him, and Kreuziger slips out of the Top 10 on the stage, with some of the other punchuers passing him in the final sprint for the line.

I've got a question for you. First, David rode for Europcar. But now he's riding for sky. How did you change your managermode to that team?
Guess who's back?
Lets see how many friens are still around... |

I kind of forget actually, and cant really be bother to check tbh, but its really not that hard at all. You change one or two things in the save game, and then on December 31 -> Jan 1 it will change to the team you want.
There are instructions somewhere, and lots of people have done it like laidbackmarc for example.

Vuelta Ciclista al Pais Vasco - Stage 4
April 7th, 2013
We have the first real hilly finish to a stage, so I will be looking to test myself here. Kreuziger is the obvious leader, so I will be the last guy (hopefully) to protect him, as we go up the climb.
We start the report off, with just over half the race done. The peloton is using as much of the road on the downhill as they can, to try and bring back the breakaway, which today contains Ivan Basso, who is a little past his prime.
The break is brought back, as we start the very last climb to the line, almost too close for the peloton to be happy with the perfect timing of the catch. Still the riders feel the need to attack, and this is Valverde!
They get to the 1km banner and Andy Schleck and Valverde are the only two which will get the win, but which of the two will it be? Roche, Soler and Gesink fight it out, behind them, while another small group with Kreuziger and Frank Schleck, sits just behind them!
However in the end, Valverde holds off the ever improving Andy Schleck, to take the win! Kreuziger finishes 35 seconds later in 11th spot after a strong sprint. I didn't do all that well today, but atleast I helped Kreuziger as much as I could.

So yes, the images are seen really well. I dont know that you are doing with the Photoshop but it is worth it
I am knowing with this history when I have free time, and I like very much, hope to be able to come until the end.
Good luck mate!

@Tmobile: are looking, not seen. Also that has to be what. Knowing should be reading, history just story and it should be: I like it very much. And they seem really well, valverde
Btw, tmobile, i'm not bullying you, just trying to help... Where are you from?
Guess who's back?

Good work for Kreuziger and 25th overall is still very nice, will David try something on the next stages or he is only here for his leader?
And nice Photoshop work...
