Well, i´m affraid it´s not for long...
Settimana Internazionale Coppi e Bartali
STAGE 4
All the way straight up... we will try to defend our lead..
11kms to 1st Int.sprint and peloton continues compact... we don´t let anyone to escape...
Later on... peloton reach 2nd Int.sprint still with no breaks... after yesterday´s effort,  H. Becker is having an awfull day(-5)...we will have to watch for him out...
35kms to go, we are still controlling the pack....
22kms to ride, peloton reach the top of the only kom sprint in today´s stage with  A. Moreno(PPO) 31th GC +1´41" getting away..
11kms,  G. Koob decides to go after those 3 escaped riders, Moreno in front and now  A. Diniz(FUN) 6th GC +1´22" and  R. Diaz(SLS) 3rd GC +34"... Becker stays reserved in the small pack for now..
With 8kms, Koob catched up with all in front... Becker is leaving the pack at this moment...
5kms to go... H. Becker rides behind Koob´s group...  S. Locatelli(BAR) 23th GC +1´34" is with him...
3kms... Koob attacks.... all respond to this attack.... calm down...
H. Becker has the devil with him...
Last km for the front group... Koob stays by Diaz wheel....
.. but its A. Diniz who takes the win... we must now wait for Becker...
H. Becker comes 1´21" later.... yellow jersey goes to the argentinian Diaz...

Well, we did try to ride the best stage we could but it wasn´t possible for Becker to stay in yellow.... we lost the white jersey too but i´m truly confident that we will take both jerseys back at stage 5... TT where Koob can take both jerseys..

I like the second screen with the devil
Tough stage, but when you're confident of getting both jerseys back, there's no reason to be worried

Thanks mate for reply here...
Really tough one.... but i think if Becker wouldn´t have such bad day he would have stayed with front group... now Becker with 75 in TT its enought to bring both jerseys back............... i hope..

The team becoming a force to be reckoned with.
I thought the Devil only came out for GT's.  |

Nice little preview here.. well, 14km ain't too long, but +6 in TT may be enough to get those 33 seconds.. good luck

As i thought someone would ask for stats, i made that small preview of the riders...
*The Rider
Thanks.. Devil is always where he´s needed..
*welker3257
Thanks, even when it was simulated..
*wogsrus
Thanks, it will continue...(at least the story)
*Ian Butler
Thanks.. yep, i´m surprised with the result from the others.... some aren´t even 70 TT and made a great result... almost the same as when i played.... seems ITT it´s ok to play then...

Your team has been on fire lately, and that is a very good result in the TT!
Keep it up!

Settimana Internazionale Coppi e Bartali
STAGE 6 / LAST STAGE
Hilly stage that bring us one last chance to assault GC..
After first 20kms raced, we attacked with  X. Kwan and  M. Solares... race leader team has to work early in the stage...
9 men breakaway is already at the front..
Solares works hard for Kwan... breakaway group isn´t far...
In peloton, CCC Polsat and Huon Salmon make the dirty work for Sao Luis...
Before Int. sprint, peloton is right behind Kwan and Solares...
Front group isn´t far either..
After 1st kom sprint, F. Taborre(VIN) 5th GC +1´43" looses contact with the pack...
At the hill between both kom sprints, race leader R. Diaz found an alliance with Team Nippo riders,  S. Fukushima and A. Moreno 6th GC +1´49"... Kwan gets caught by them.... i really missed this move 
My riders catch up with Kwan... yellow jersey is 48" ahead with 30kms to go..
With 18kms to go, we catch up with front group but where is the yellow jersey?..
There he is... alone at the front against all...
Last hill... F. Felline(AND) and A. Diniz(FUN) 3rd GC +48" attacked, Koob was alert this time... F. Taborre(VIN) 5th GC managed to come back and tries to catch up...
5,6kms to go.... G. Koob droped his group and tries to catch up with the front...
..but it´s too late... amazing ride by race leader and stage winner R. Diaz...

All in all it was a great result for us.... sponsor goal is achieved and we win Points, Mountain and Teams classification... great.
