Stories about: Pro Cycling Manager 2013 Diary  

There are differences between the real and the virtual worlds

Alberto Contador wins the simulated race as Froome triumphs in the real one

The last of three very challenging days in the Alps

Two days before reaching Paris, there's still plenty to fight for

Unfortunately, my team has not managed to achieve victory

There are a few mountains left to shake up the general classification

My riders are ready for the coming mountain stages

A chance to get some energy back before the final week

This tough climb is enough to create huge gaps between the riders

The mountains aren't that hard and I gain back some time

The peloton is beaten by a few hundred meters after a hard day in the saddle

No change for my team to make an impression on the race

The time trial is unfortunately not one of my specialties

There are stages that are better left to the simulation engine

The riders are off in the game but not in the real world

I manage to claw back some of the time I lost yesterday

I lose the other favorites and my hopes of overall victory are pretty much over
