Tour Med
Vacansoleil:
Hoogerland
Lagutin
Feillu
Van Hummel
Saramontins
Mol
Ruijgh
Saramontins makes his debut. Van Hummel and Feillu for the sprints, Ruijgh, Lagutin and Hoogerland will try something at the Mont Faron. Mol and Saramontins are helpers/breakaway guys.
Stage 1
Race plan: Get Mol or Saramontins in the break and let them get the KOM jersey. We'll also try to set up Feillu and Van Hummel for the sprint.
Saramontins does his job and is here seen taking the points on the first hill of the day. Nobody dared to even try to pass the strong Latvian.

1 km: Van Hummel pilots Feillu to the front....
However, Feillu fades to 7th while Degenkolb is alone on the finish photo..

7th isn't bad at all
The KoM jersey is a nice bonus for the team I hope you can keep it all the way to the end! |

Some bad news, folks...
My brother was borrowing my computer for a couple of days for a school project and when I got my computer back he has somehow managed to delete most of my savegames...
You can probably guess that I'm not a happy brother now 
But now that these wonderful, new DBs are out, maybe you'll see me doing a new story soon? |

I hope you made your brother aware of the trouble he has caused you
Still, lets hope a new and even better story can begin |
