Title says it all.
Won the first stage of the 3 days of west flanders, the gap was 2 minutes, before the peloton arrived pcm.exe
That gap was big enough to win the entire race, i hope my same tactic works again. Really anoyed.

What's a "Fustration"? 
That's an "anoying" spelling mistake.  |

Lost the 2011 Giro d'Italia (Well it is the same route as 2010, but riders got a year older). Coming into the stage 21, with Team Astana. Alberto Contador was in perfect position to take GC, Points, and KoM with a win. He sat second by 0' seconds to Nabali. The last stage is a hilly ITT, Contador with 83 stat, Nabali 73. Contador lost by 15 seconds, after leading the first check point by 35 seconds over Nabali.
Thats the best i got.

It did, OK the gap wasn't quite so big but should still be enough to win the race.

Be happy, at least you don't have the lags, lack of fluent play, and crashes (even at 0 detail level) that certain people with specific 64 bits AMD systems have, like me.
Im still waiting for a patch to fix it  |

Thank you.
Suddenly my half-decent graphics card on a 32bit system, running with 1 at all settings doesn't seem that bad |

For the record, it's "Nibali". I wouldn't mention it ordinarily, but you're calling him "Turnipy"

I won Amstel Gold Race and Liege-Baston-Liege with Geslin. And then i took 3rd place in La Fleche Wallone. I play on Normal... The first one was a lonely break from 80k to go. The second one a mass-sprint and the third one a break agian...

Definately sounds frustrating. Not. |

In every other stage I simulate someone breaks something.
Be it a hand, skull, vertebra, you name it. It gets fractured.
If offense is the best defence, does it mean that defence is the worst defence?

It shouldn't be possible I loved it dough, but my sponsors didn't.
Wich is another thing i don't like in this edition. The sponsors are sometimes impossible to "impress". Im in my third season with Saxo Bank. And they are red the whole season. They get red in february. I mean, they can't expect me to dominate in februrary
I won Paris-Robaix, Gent - Wevelgem, second in Ronde von Flandern, top 3 in all the hill classics , won Tour de Romandie, Third in the Giro, Won Dauphine and Tour de Suisse. Won TDF, and came in second in the Vuelta(but my leader crashed on the last stage and quite the race.....Fracutured kneecap..) Cancellara won the ITT WC, and i won WC with Hushovd.
And they were "Red" in the end of the season... Impossible to impress them..

Try Extreme 
Unless you have fun winning each and every race with a second rank rider ...

I play on normal, wich imo is the most realistic difficulty.
I won all thoose races, but the sponsors was not "red". Thats the thing i don't understand(!). Any ideas?
