Team: Pokerstars.com (CT)
Version: 1.0.4.1
DB: PCM daily´s DB V2.1
Difficulty: Extreme
Riders potential: Random
Evolution of attributes: 0.3
No training camps at all!!
Team roster:
My custom team is compound from free Spanish riders (according to DB) and will focus mainly in Spanish races during first season. Only exception is Venezuelan climber Jose Rujano, who is - together with David Herrero and veteran Oscar Sevilla - leader of my team. Other notable riders with chance to make some decent results are Diego Milan (best sprinter) and Eloy Teruel (decent sprinter and time trialist). Rest of team are fighters/watter carriers.
Season goals:
First and almost certainly impossibly attainable goal of the season is overall win in Vuelta a Andalucia. Many of top riders participate on early Spanish/French/Italian stage races to get themselves into good shape for upcoming PT races. On the other hand, TOP10 in all classics and Vuelta Asturias could be within reach for my team.
------------------------------
Whilst extreme difficulty is a must, I´m curious about random riders potential. Hope my story will last more than one season to faciliate some significant results with this feature... Nevertheless I can assure, no one from my present team is a future star
7-11/2 Vuelta a Mallorca (5 stages)
14-19/2 Tour of Oman (6 stages)
21-25/2 Vuelta a Andalucia (5 stages) *
28/2 Clasica de Almeria
We will start our journey in world of cycling early February when we take part of Vuelta a Mallorca race. Then, as preparation for first season goal, we´ll move to eastern part of Arabian peninsula. Tour of Oman is not really cup of tea for our team, but as already mentioned, main reason of our presence is building fitness before upcoming Vuelta a Andalucia, where sponsors expect overall win... Clasica de Almeria will be our last race during this month.
Incredibly strong startlist with both good climbers and sprinters doesn´t give big chance to succeed to my team. Rujano in hilly stages and Milan or Teruel in flate stages will try to make some decent results though. Due to unknown fitness of most riders, it´s hard to predict main contenders. Names like Contador, Vinokourov, Anton, Van den Broeck, Hesjedal, Roche and many others are guarantee we will see interesting race. Due to positive testing, Antonio Colom can´t defend his last year´s title.

Beagle: Welcome aboard the 2010 story train. Certainly this is another treat to help us through the winter!
I am intrigued as to the tactics here and how you plan out your season.
I would assume that Rujano and Herrero will be together in those Spanish races in April (I guess the Castille y Leon race will be included amonst those plans as well as the goals).
But the rest of the season is surely more open, is there an outside shot of seeing Pokerstars at the Vuelta, or possibly the San Sebastion Classic maybe?

thank you mate
I´ll answer from the end...I won´t ask WC for San Sebastian, because of last season goal (Getxo) at the same day...and yes, Vuelta would be really interesting - without any GC rider, I would concentrate for stage win or KOM jersey
regarding first half of season, Rujano will lead the team in most races, sometimes with Herrero, another time with Sevilla (e.g. Leon)...I´m still unsure, if we get WC for Catalunya and Pais Vasco though
Opening stage, circuit partially leading alongside Mediterranean Sea, is short and mostly flat, we´ll probably see bunch sprint today.
Our Diego Milan spent most of time ahead of peloton in 12-men group. Their advantage never got over 3 minutes though, as especially Rabobank and Quick·Step worked in front of peloton for their sprinters Freire and Boonen and didn´t give any chance to escapees to think about success. They were eventually caught 18km before finish.
Sprint was a little bit chaotic, Tyler Farrar looked confident and built small gap, but didn´t endure until finish line. So Gert Steegmans brought to himself and Team RadioShack first season win, whilst both Freire and Boonen completely failed. Only 4 Pokerstars finished with same time as winner, Eloy Teruel crashed and Victor Cabedo waited for him. Both lost almost 5 minutes. Luckily Eloy is in good order and can continue without any limitation.

In spite of presence of some modest hills, this stage is designated for sprinters. And actually, as real climbs are coming from tomorrow, this is probably last chance to succeed for pure sprinters.
We could see 12-men break again, today without Pokerstars presence. Some decent climbers were in, including Andriy Grivko (AST), Dimitriy Muravyev (RSH), David Blanco (PRT) or Carlos José Ochoa (AND). Last named rider colected most points and will wear KOM jersey on stage 3.
Riders cooperated very well (except of Muravyev, team mate of yellow jersey´s holder) and built nice gap of almost 8 minutes with 70km to go. Then The Shacks took control over the pace in peloton and gap began shrinked rapidly. On last summit, 23km before finish, escapees had only 1'26" to their favor.
Neverthelles it lasted almost another 20km before they were finally caught. Time for expected bunch sprint occured. Gert Steegmans in yellow jersey decided to leave his lead-out man very soon and opened sprint from first position, but certainly it wasn´t the smartest decision.
He couldn´t keep his pace until finish and was outsprinted by Ben Swift (SKY) and especially Lloyd Mondory (ALM) who could celebrate nice win. Gert Steegmans maintained his lead though. Pokerstar Diego Milan tried to do his best and finished on decent 14th place.

So, this was only warm-up, next stages should provide more action, continue probably tomorrow, stay tuned!Edited by beagle on 28-10-2010 22:09
After 90km of plain, riders will face to first real climbs, Coll de Soller and especially Coll de Puigmajor, where many riders are expected to suffer in pain. I´m quite curious, how our team (and especially captain Rujano) will deal with it.
Eloy Teruel joined the BOTD, together with Ángel Vicioso (ACA), Carlos Castaño (XAC), Alejandro Marque (PRT), Daniel Moreno (OLO), Gorka Izagirre (EUS) and Daniel Navarro (AST). Really tough squad. Their advantage grew up to 6', but then peloton increased his pace and at the bottom of first climb, Coll de Soller, the gap was only about 1'10". Eloy Teruel started to struggle from very first meters and instantly dropped out from his companions.
While Teruel was caught very soon, rest of group managed to stay away from peloton. Dani Navarro reached the summit and collected max points. Gap increased to 1'30".
After short downhill we started to climb to Coll de Puigmajor, highest point of race. Jose Rujano tested his legs and launched attack several times, but he wasn´t able to reach significant gap. Nevertheless, due to his effort, BOTD was doomed far before summit.
It opened an opportunity for other climbers, so Alberto Contador strongly attacked within last kilometer of climb and secured KOM jersey for himself.
Only 29 riders, including most favorites, survived this hard climb and managed to stay in front. As expected, Jose Rujano was only Pokerstar in leading group.
Last part of stage led mostly downhill, no attempt to sneak away and steal prestigious win was succesfull. Dario Cioni opened sprint...
...and took unexpected win and yellow jersey as a bonus! Rujano finished safely in leading group and move up to 27th overall. He hadn´t any difficulties to stay with main contenders, it´s a positive sign to next stages.

Right after start, riders will climb to Coll de Can Costa, short but quite steep hill. Nerxt climbs are awaiting in the second part of stage, Coll de Femenies, Coll de Puigmajor (today from other side) and finally after long descent Col d´en Bleda. We are awaiting hard battle today.
BOTD - Lars Boom (RAB), David De la Fuente (AST), José Luis Rubiera (RSH), Jackson Rodríguez (AND), Kevyn Ista (COF), Oleg Chuzhda (), Tom Boonen (QST), David García Dapena (XAC), Edgar Pinto (), Daniel Moreno (OLO) and Trent Lowe (GRM). De la Fuente, Rubiera, Moreno and Pinto initiated first attack in first climb, but it lasted another 20-30km before leading group finally settled. Their advantage before P. was 3´ at the foot of Coll de Femenies.
Team Sky and especially Thomas Löfkvist together with Geraint Thomas set the fast pace, which caused many casualities in peloton. Gap shrunk at 1' on summit.
Coll de Puigmajor - as peloton were getting closer with every second, Rubiera decided to attack his companions and continue on his own. No one could follow him.
Rubiera passed the summit with 43" advantage before Moreno, De la Fuente, Chuzhda and Lowe. Peloton came next 35" later.
While all escapees were caught during long downhill, Rubiera still maintained his lead in front. With only last short climb remaining, decisive battle between big guns was about start. Alberto Contador launched powerfull attack in steepest section of Col d´en Bleda!!
Only 5 riders managed to join him, his team mate Alexandre Vinokourov, Garmin´s duo Ryder Hesjedal and David Millar, José Iván Gutiérrez (GCE) and our José Rujano! They built solid gap within few kilometers.
Ryder Hesjedal didn´t want to reconcile with battle for only 2nd place and attached chaser´s group! As the peloton was still out of reach, he could take overall lead as well.
But his attack came too late, Rubiera could start celebrating hundreds meter before finish. Well deserved win after marvelous performance for him.
Ryder Hesjedal sprinted as second with 31" loss, ahead of Contador and Vinokourov. He didn´t achieve any advantage of his companions from chasing group though. Rujano took nice 6th place, best result for our team so far.
Moreover, although sprinting peloton with Rojas at its front (in upper right corner) was still far behind, when all chasers crossed the line, race directors decided no time gaps will count. What a silly decision, due to their giff Dario Cioni still can wear yellow jersey tomorrow...
