In real life, I'm fairly sure that Kim would have won but on the game, I think it's the average of all of your placings over the whole race or something ridiculous like that that decides the overall.
Kim can claim a moral victory because he's so much worse than Dombrowski.
Thanks for all the positive comments aswell.
@Jesley, you want to do Normandie hey..... |

2 reports a day is nice indeed 
Too bad Kim didn't win the GC. No blame on the rules of the game or UCI, but why did Branaa have to sprint for those points?! 
It shows that Fischer sucks as a lead-out  |

@Brewers Well, it would be nice indeed, since it got a nice prologue and some nice breakaway stages
But if you planned something else, that's fine

A shame that we don't ride Tour of Korea. It would lead to a funny situation with Yoo Suk hating on South Korea

Race Preview
 Tour de Normandie
The team's next race is a long one, the eight-stage Tour de Normandie in Northern France. The race really won't be one for the fans of any sort of uphill racing as the entire race is pretty much pan-flat. It starts with another short prologue before moving onto seven flat road stages. Every stage could end in a sprint so it will be up to aggressive racing to stop a sprinter from winning the overall. Of course there could be bad weather, including crosswinds, as they ride near the coast which could provide drama but, really, this should be a race for the sprinters.
With no top sprinter, our team will have the simple aim of animating the race and making sure we give it a good go every day. Of course, Hammarling and Huigsloot will want to show that they have what it takes in this sort of race but the rest of the team will be looking for the King of the Mountains (hills!) classification and/or stage wins in breakaways. There isn't much variety in the race route, meaning the likes of Droochit and Thompson will have to do what they can on terrain which doesn't really suit them. Nevertheless, Thompson, along with Bakker and Hoogenboom will be looking to go well in the prologue. |

Prologue 
Hope Wesley can secure a top 10 in the prologue.
It would also be an honour to get the task to stop the sprinters and win the stage ahead of them in a break, especially in the last stages the break will get some space from the peloton.
Otherwise, Hammarling and Huigsloot can secure some Top 10s...

I very disappoint. American cheated and got victory. Should have been mine, but we didn't file compaint. I'm sure team manager got death treaths from South Korea secret service. Still, very angry about this. So unfair. So manager give me a break for next race to recover again. I will return stronger then before!
