The first race is here and key rider Usov is looking for the points jersey.
Tour Down Under Stage one
The racing goes off on this short flat stage, the break was brung back easily with 12 km to go.
The sprint leads out with elmiger setting up mondory, the train for usov dis banded right before the start leaving him way back.
The sprint winds up with usov far back, mondory put on an awesome sprint and nearly took it. Robbie waited till the last min to go, and it worked.

Something went wrong with the results from the 1st stage, but usov got 11th.
Tour Down Under Stage 2
Usov hopefully will be able to redeem himself from his performance yesterday.
Rasumussen goes on the attack and will wear the moutain jersey tomorrow.
The break is brought back with 3 kilometers before the 2nd intermediate sprint, sending the sprinters into fire drill.
Usov took the intermediate sprint getting all the points he can.
The sprint started off with a bit of a seperation from the peleton, but all came together with Usov on the wheel of Robbie, but he went to early and faded to sixth.
Robbie took it again today with modory second again, and sieberg 3rd.
Can anyone help me, i have Excel 07 and i open the tdu file from
My Documents>Pro cycling manager 2007> Export
It opens a file but it is not correct, the results are similar but aren't the same.
Thanks and Ricky is open for questions now. |

you have salvodelli, usov, pellizotti, backstead, pena, syzmd and calzati, all good PT riders, all im saying is your team is too big in depth and quality for a bike shop in florida. Maybe it would have been better with a small team, against all odds

Tour Down Under Stage 3
The sprinters will try to hang on through this stage as it is slightly hill, but most likely it will be a mass sprint.
After Rasmussen withdrew yesterday after claiming the KOM jersey Thijs is holding it.
After 20 Kilometers from the start a break group is formed and notables include Hinault (C.A.), Degano (BARLO), and Wiggins riding for suzuki.
With 80 Kilometers to go the break is 4 min ahead of the peleton, time to start chasing.
Cancellara attacks with 55 Kilometers to go.
He has now joined the break group and they are a min out with 30 Kilometers to go.
The break is swept up with 20 Kilometers to go.
Julian Dean took the sprint

I see youve got a Team Suzuki, did you change any other teams too?
Oh and good luck with your career, I hope you can get a win soon.
