hahaha well this is awkward. I only looked at the stories on page 1.... Oh well. I have read that story though, it's with a squad from another year though right? And possibly a different PCM? |

Let people choose stories that they like imo. Baia, gotta say Harry is doing a Garmin story too and nobody told him anything As well as that roturn's garmin team is completely different now so it should be alright imo
Good luck

Garmin - Barracuda
Database: PCM.Daily 2012 DB V1
Rider Difficulty: Hard
Financial Difficulty: Normal
Rider Potentials: Random
Sponsor Goals - Garmin
So obviously the two '5 star' goals will be very tough to achieve. We have the riders to achieve it but there will be plenty of competition of course. Same goes for the Il Lombardia and Dauphine.
Sponsor Goals - Barracuda
Barracudas goals focus more on the cobbled classics but the most important for them is Ciclista a Catalunya. Daniel Martin came 3rd last year so it's certainly possible that we can challenge for overall honours. Top 5 in Paris-Roubaix a definite possibility.
Important Riders
One of the worlds fastest sprinters. His main goal this year is to go for stage wins at the Tour de France. He will also get a shot at Milan San Remo.
Our best stage racer. As the Giro is of extreme importance, he will peak during the Giro in hope to finish on the podium.
Fantastic rider. He will be our GC leader at the Tour de France and will be our leader in the Ardennes Classics.
Past his prime but still has the ability to perform well. Not quite sure on whether I'll ride him in the Giro or the TDF though.
Our cobbled specialist, he will return to defend his Paris-Roubaix title and possible aim to be a helper to Hesjedal in the Tour.
The all-rounder of this team. Has the potential to be one of the best riders in the peloton but hasnt been able to show it in the past few seasons. He'll be a helper to van Summeren in the cobbled classics but will get his opportunity to be a leader.
The rest
This team has alot of depth in almost every area. We have some of the worlds best time trialists in Millar and Zabriskie. We have plenty of climbers and hill specialists and we have a fair few riders who can handle themselves on the cobbles so we should be in for a good season.
Conclusion
So there you have it. The Australian Championships are up next. Hope you enjoy the story

2012 Australian Road Championships
Stage Profile
A hilly course. Not likely to end in a mass sprint.
Squad
Only 2 Australian ride for Garmin. Haussler will be our leader but will not be helped by Haas as I've given him the instruction to try and get into the breakaway.
Race
150km to go - 3 riders breakaway, they open a small gap.
142km to go - 2 more join them, including Nathan Haas
130km to go - Another 2 riders have joined, including Graeme Brown. The leading group now have a 2 minute lead. This looks like the winning breakaway.
100km to go - The gap is now out to almost 5 minutes.
60km to go - GreenEdge have all their riders at the front but they dont appear at all interested in bring back the breakaway. The gap is now out to 8 minutes.
40km to go - The gap is now out to almost 10 minutes. The breakaway will stay away but who will take victory? Graeme Brown is the best sprinter but when it's this early into the season, fitness has to play a big part.
10km to go - The leading group of 7 head up the climb for the final time.
3km to go - The sprint starts, Menzies is leading them out. Brown is 2nd last with Haas on his wheel
Finish
Menzies timed his sprint well and takes the victory. Brown left his run too late and finished 2nd. Haas the same but still manages a top 5 result, a good effort.
Results
| 1 | Luke Roberts | Team Saxo Bank | 4h43'12 | | 2 | Graeme Brown | Rabobank Cycling Team | s.t. | | 3 | Fabio Calabria | Team Type 1 - Sanofi | s.t. | | 4 | Dean Windsor | Endura Racing | s.t. | | 5 | Nathan Haas | Garmin - Barracuda | s.t. | | 6 | William Clarke | Champion System Pro Cycling Team | s.t. | | 7 | Karl Menzies | UnitedHealthcare Pro Cycling Team | s.t. | | 8 | Cadel Evans | BMC Racing Team | + 8'02 | | 9 | Michael Rogers | Sky Procycling | s.t. | | 10 | Simon Gerrans | GreenEdge Cycling Team | s.t. |

Two tips for you.
1) Dunno if you know but you can take screens ingame - CTRL + T to take a screen and CTRL + U to have menus disappear ( doesn't work in replays though ).
2) You can make the results look nicer if you put them in the table and 100%, the tabble button is between youtbe and spoiler
Good 5th place for Haas

I'm not 100% sure on either. I might look to Dan Martin for the Tour of California, Vande Velde is also a possibility there if he doesnt ride the Giro. For the USA Pro Cycling Challenge I'm even less sure on that one as it's so far away but based on my training regimes Tom Danielson is a possibility. |

1) Thanks! I was always wondering how to do that, I just assumed people cropped them out. I also got a PM from Absint about the same thing so thanks to him too .
2) Thankyou for pointing that out too, I will use it from now on . |

2012 Australian Time Trial Championships
Stage Profile
Squad
Same as before.
Race
Cameron Meyer is the first of the favourites to come in. He sets the bar at 55'29.
Ben Day comes in and goes 2nd +14 down on Meyer.
Michael Rogers is having a good day, here he is passing the rider who started ahead of him with 10km to go. He comes in with the fastest time at 54'59.
I didn't have high hopes for Haussler, maybe a top 10 at best. He comes in 8th at the finish but we still have others to come in.
Cadel Evans set the fastest time at the first split and comes into the finish still with the fastest time. 54'19.
Richie Porte was last out onto the road today. He came through the first split 10 seconds down on Evans. Coming into the finish he clocks the 2nd best time at 54'40 21 seconds down.
Results
| Rank | Name | Team | Time | | 1 | Cadel Evans | BMC Racing Team | 54'19 | | 2 | Richie Porte | Sky Procycling | + 22 | | 3 | Michael Rogers | Sky Procycling | + 40 | | 4 | Cameron Meyer | GreenEdge Cycling Team | + 1'10 | | 5 | Luke Durbridge | GreenEdge Cycling Team | + 1'12 | | 6 | Ben Day | UnitedHealthcare Pro Cycling Team | + 1'24 | | 7 | Adam Hansen | Lotto Belisol Team | s.t. | | 8 | Cameron Wurf | Champion System Pro Cycling Team | + 1'28 | | 9 | Michael Hepburn | GreenEdge Cycling Team | + 1'44 | | 10 | Jack Bobridge | GreenEdge Cycling Team | + 1'45 | | 12 | Heinrich Haussler | Garmin - Barracuda | + 1'56 |

Stage 1 Profile
Race
95km to go - After numerous attacks throughout the first 50-60km, a group of 9 riders (including Langeveld and Australian Champ Luke Roberts) have broken away and have a 2'30 gap. This looks like the winning breakaway. No Garmin riders made the break today.
50km to go - The gap got out to as high as 5 minutes but BMC, Garmin, Lampre and Omega Pharma have been bringing them back and the gap is now at 3'40.
28km to go - Matti Breschel has attacked from the peloton but he gets brought back very quickly.
7km to go - The remaining breakaway riders have been caught.
2.7km to go - The sprint starts. Petacchi has the perfect leadout at the moment but has Cavendish on his wheel. The Garmin train are on the other side but are too far back at the moment.
1km to go - Haussler has put Farrar into the perfect position. Can he finish it off? Cavendish is beginning to open up. Petacchi yet to make his move. Hinault is moving fast but may have gone too early and Michael Matthews is also finishing fast.
Finish
Cavendish was too good. He just holds on from a fast finishing Petacchi with Farrar finishing 3rd, a good result given the opposition.

Good result btw
Not 100% sure but I think it might be because I'm taking the pictures with Fraps instead of using ctrl+t because the file type that PCM uses is .png which is a larger file so I use fraps with .jpg picture files, so they upload quicker |

A tip , make your own rider names bolt in the result
Like this : Tyler Farrar becomes Tyler Farrar |

I try to but it only bolds the number so I have to bold each individual column which gets annoying. |

Who are you going to favour in the grand tours? Farrar in the sprints or Vanevelde and Hesjedal for GC?
EDIT: Probably have to include Danielson for GC as well
