Well, you know, one Tour
That lasts longer than some careers of football coaches

Not bad. A shame about the KoM: Just two points difference... 
Didn't succeed in playing a whole TdF myself though, just doing stages since I'm really bad

That's actually a quite realistic game 
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

No real secret, I just had a great plan, too bad Cav won all sprints. I got some great intermediate sprints by getting in BOTD, or once by attacking on a short hill before the intermediate sprint, closing the gap to the BOTD and taking the points. Add that to two times 2nd and one time 3rd and you're second in points ranking. Getting the green jersey was impossible, though.
The KoM jersey was a real shame, definitely since the two points difference was in the final race where points where to be earned, I had the jersey until then 
So many crashes, how do you do that? I've never crashed, except my first time descending, that is until I figured out how to escape in the descent |

Being too agressive on corners mostly.
No idea how Hunter crashed though, but he took out over 100 riders

Damn, nice
I did a nice trick, too. I'm now playing with Lotto and Greipel can't take on Cavendish. So I decided to change tactic.
I played with VDB and blocked Cavendish in the sprint, making way for Greipel to win |

Just started a Tour with Samuel Sánchez. Won the prologue, taking 14 seconds on Cancellara (2nd)!! Took my second win in the following stage. Almost at Planche des Belles Filles now and have a 1 minute lead on Nibali, 25 seconds lead on Froome. Will need a lot more for the TTs to come, though... |

Yeah. I guess you've got the post-TdF updated DB? Well, if so, good luck beating Froome

It's not just you, it's the team itself in the TdF 2012 I fear
Hope TdF 2013 will be better for Ra.. Blanco...

here's the kicker, Kruijswijk suddenly lost contact with the peleton along with some other guys in the flat simulation part

Just started a career with Liquigas. Simply awesome.
Backstory: Nibali won the Giro in 2012 and Sagan leads the team for his first participation. The focus of the team is his Green Jersey. Won the prologue with 1" on Martin and won the first stage already! |

That's just my backstory, an excuse so that Nibali can work 100% for Sagan so I can concentrate on him
Update: Won stage 1, 2, 3 and 4 with Sagan |
