The ISD Pro Cycling Team is an Italian based continental team made up of primarily Italian and Ukrainian riders. Led by former Maglia Rosa, Giovanni Visconti looks to offer his new team a bid back into the Giro as well as top results on the Continental Tour.
With the help of guys like Andriy Grivko and Oscar Gatto, each coming over from ProTour teams, the ISD team looks to be strong and getting stronger. This season the team looks for top results in local Italian races to set them up for future wild-card bids into all Pro Tour events and who knows, a promotion.
The initial goals for the team are to place well in Settimana Coppa e Bartali (Top 10), GP Camaiore (Top 5), and the Giro del Lazio (Top 10). More goals will follow with more sponsors joining.
Meet the team led by Visconti and Grivko. Cioni provides veteran leadership for the team and Gatto leads the team for sprinting. The team is very much suited for the Team Time Trials throughout the duration of the season as they will typically show strong.
The new manager, Italian American, Al X (USA) will offer a direction for these young and veteran cyclists in their search to reach the top of cycling. The season opens up for ISD in Qatar, February 1st. |

Tour of Qatar - Stage 1 - TTT
Now I didn't take screens of this stage because I tend to forget about everything during the race itself and just focus on the race. It was a tough TTT as it usually is to win however our team put out a solid early season performance here losing 31 seconds to Team Columbia - Highroad. Kvachuk pulled hard and lost an additional 6 seconds. Here are the results:

Tour of Qatar - Stage 2
Up until like the end of February as a note, I won't have stage profiles (because I've already played, cropped, and did all that shiz).
Nothing too special on this day. The usual Qatar effects of the wind causing people to be pulled ahead, splits in the peloton. You know, the usual.
The awful kitted AG2R team decided to show their ugly colors as Senac launched an attack with 5km to go. Would he be caught?
No he would not as he goes onto power home for the victory. The sprinters made up the ground, but not fast enough. Pinotti kept the overall lead after the stage (forgot to export).
Stage Results
GC
Gatto's 8th place performance on the stage was enough to move him into the white young rider's leaders jersey as well as move him up into a podium position. Hopefully he can hang on. |

Since I don't have much done, I'm contemplating starting over due to the fact that there is a fix to the Expansion Pack and of course the Patch.
Thoughts? |

Well it turns out I won't be able to work on this story since I'm having some computer issues. If I ever can get a story up and going I will. |
