Just a question. What do you mean with extreme?
I saw that you play with hard financial difficulty. Do you also plkay with the hardest difficulty in the options?
Other than that, possible goals and good luck for the season. |

The race difficulty is on extreme. I don't know if it is possible for me to win some nice races, but we'll see  |

Tour Down Under
Stage 1
The race starts with an early break away. Ongarato, Le Lay, Viviani, Hansen and Robert go for the attack.
The sprinters-teams work together to get them back.
The sprinters are positioning at the front. A rabo train with Boom is going to take the leed.
Leezer does the last work for Brown.
Then Dean takes the lead, Sulzberger tries to follow him and Brown doesn't seem to be strong enough to follow him.

Nice 3rd place.
A tip: You can press Ctrl+U when you take a screenshot. That will make them look better.

Stage 2
Again there is an early break away, but this time it's more dangerous. 14 men escaped: Minard, Matheou, Bodnar, Morkov, Chainel, Iglinskiy, Debusschere, Righi, Kohler, Sutton, Gardeyn, Urtasun, O'grady and Van Impe
In the peleton, it was the katusha team who had to work.
The rabobank team did it's work too. The lead was getting smaller.
Will it be a mass sprint?
The attackers are caught with only 5km to go, it was close but now the sprinters have chance.
Leezer does the last work for the australian sprinter brown
But again it's the fast sprinter dean who beats them all. Second is Hinault. And for the third time this season Brown comes in third.
Stage:
1 Julian Dean
2 Sébastien Hinault
3 Graeme Brown
4 Geraint Thomas
5 Wouter Weylandt
6 Anthony Geslin
7 Murilo Fischer

Stage 3:
This time Rabobank starts the attacking. A strong Lars Boom attacked and did get O'grady, Murphy, Izagirre, Robert, Oss, Hondo and Petit with him.
The peleton is chasing
Leezer goes for it with brown in his wheel but lezer is too strong for Brown. Leezer fights for a good place.
Leezer loses terrain and fails to keep his strong sprint. There are much strong sprinters on the small hill.
At the last moment Paolini comes too the front and wins.
Bad day for Rabobank

The peleton decides it is a stage for the sprinters. They close the gap.
The sprint can begin everybody wants to be in the front!

Stage 5:
Rabobank controlls the stage. No one succeeds to escape.
At the first hill, Langeveld takes some meters, then he accelerates.
The peleton takes him back and on the next hill the peleton keeps the speed high, so nobody could escape.
The top-sprinters are a little tired. It's a power sprint. Kessiakof wins.

Stage 6:
At the beginning a group attacks: Bakelandts, Giordani, Oss, Hayman, Pate and Pérez.
Langeveld thinks that he might win if he moves to the leading group. He goes for it.
But it didn't work, he joined the group but the peleton was too strong! Lars Boom gives leezer and brown the best position for the sprint.
Leezer escorts Brown and Brown explodes, all his frustration of not winning a stage comes out of his body! He takes the lead!
And he wins! He even has some meters on the second rider!
And the whole team celebrates, Leezer is very happy for his sprinter!
