@dienblad: Thanks, best start imaginable 
@Logghje: Rodriguez is only 73 mountain and 78 hills now so no threat, Valverde about the same, Schleck is also washed up 
Bakelants is pretty strong, but his climbing won't nearly be enough to win, he could ride top 10, though. But the profile is more in favor of TT and mountain than hills. EDIT: Sanchez same problem, weakened
@fcancellara: It seems so, but that's just a coincidence he's just not that early as Stijn was, Stijn was world class on 22 years, while Eric is still growing a lot. But this year he is very strong  And lucky with the start list here
@Abelbaba: Thanks, although I fear for it. Will probably quicksim it, though

TTT is 32km, so it'll come down to a few minutes. I guess about as much as Eric will regain on Rolland in final (also 32km) ITT There's also a MTT but Rolland will perform well there as mountain stat is more important than TT stat there, I believe.

@JuanMotr: I won't rest until they're perfect TT riders
@FreitasPCM: That'll be hard (especially with that team), but I'll try
@rogvi97: Thanks, that's the plan!
@Jakstar22: Thank you, normally nothing should go wrong there
@PCM rulezz, sutty68, alex valceanu: Thanks! |

Great start! Don't know bout the changes, but with some TTs in it you can beat Anton and Rodriguez. Main threat is Rolland and maybe Hesjedal. |

Bad news, everyone...
I tried downloading the PCM.daily's Expansion Pack for Patch 1.3.0.0. but my computer couldn't handle it. Result: Computer crashed. Someone in my family works as ICT-coordinator and did something of a reboot or a reset or whatever. But my PCM databases and saves (together with the downloaded Expansion Pack) are gone.
So I'm afraid this is the end of A Tale of Two 
I'll have to re-install Pro Cycling Manager 2012. I'll try to come back with an even better story. In fact, I'll get started on it right away. I hope that the people who were following here will join me at the new story. And I definitely hope my computer won't let me down again in the future...
I hope to have the new story up in a couple of hours, and maybe we can make it an even better one. This story was quite special to me, though, and I had a great time writing it, and I want to thank everyone for reading it and for commenting, you have all been great. It's very unfortunate it has to end this way.
