Since PCMDaily hasn't released yet the european EE pack, I thought about writing a story of another rider (seems that the fever of writing got me over). RK's story isn't dead, but I'll wait till the pack that i mentioned above will be released.
Taking an advantage from this thing, I'll write a new story about another rider. So, here's the list of options :
Matti Breschel : Young dannish Matti is a very good classics rider, having good hillly skills and cobble ones. Also, his sprinting ability is on of the best of the pack. In 2-3 years, this guy could become a classics legend, but also a green jersey in Le Tour.
Greg Van Avermaet : Just like the guy mentioned above, Van Avermaet is a great cobble rider, with an impressive sprint. Greg has a stage victory in the Vuela a Espana(same as Matti), but is also the defending points lider. Maybe this guy is the next Tom Bonnen, who knows ? (except the cocaine part  )
Edvald Boasson Hagen : Yes, the guy which nobody knows what he will become ! (maybe he doesn't know either  ) A very good fighter, impressive sprint, good hill abilities, and not that bad when climbing mountains... Sounds like Eddy Merckx, but will he be able to confirm his all-rounder position ?
Rigoberto Uran : If Columbia can hope that one day somebody from their country will win the Tour de France, then that could for sure be Uran (or Soler, it depends..). Although a Puncheur rather than a Stage racer, Rigoberto is known for his speed and fighting ability. His only major win might be a stage in the Tour de Suisse, but his only 21 and results are still yet to come.
Martijn Maaskant : Another cobble specialist. Martijn turned pro last year in 2008, and shown immediate results : 4th Paris-Roubaix and 12th RVR. Actually good on hills, he's still got something to show in TT where he could become better. Still, he's a man who you should be worry of if your racing him in cobbled classics.
Heinrich Haussler : Germany's hope of succsess in the sprints and cobble races is for sure Heinrich Haussler. Good on flat, good on cobbles, good sprinting ability and also quite fast developing his hills and TTs ability, he's for sure one of the guys that can aim for the green jersey in Le tour right from this year or the points jersey in La Vuelta where he has a stage win in 2005.

Uran <3
If offense is the best defence, does it mean that defence is the worst defence?

I voted for Breshcel as there is no Saxo story around and to be able to compare your carreer with the Danish team with mine.
Still it seems that Uran will win...Caisse is nice too, maybe Valverde will let him win something . |

I hope I can do a good job and that my savegame won't play tricks on me (again), just like it did on the previous story.
Untill then, I have a little problem : You can call me stupid, idiot etc, (I don't care) but if I press Alt + Tab wihle playing the game won't minimaze go into the windows bar. Any help ?
Edit : No more help needed, fixed it now. So, it's story time now.

January 5th : I recieved a contract extension proposal from my team. The contract states that I will be the team's leader, with a wage on 53.000 euros per month. There wasn't too much to study (the contract) with my agent, because I was very happy knowing that for the next 2 seasons the team will want to help me become a great rider.
(P.S. : Has anybody encountered the problem that if you change the limit_i in DYN cyclist the budget will turn to 2,000,000,000 ? It seems that my budget is way waaaaaayy to hgh !). |

Look & Find, As.com & Iberia have agreed to sponsor our team. The best thing is that all of them are Spanish !
Also, here are the results of the TT and RR of the Aussie championships :
@IlGladiator : Thanks !
