Attack attempt:
-------------------
* rider X just saw his family standing next to the road and this inspired him to do great things today, he plans an attack from the peloton.

* Rider X is in a good mood today, he just tried to escape from the group.

Intermediate Sprint:
-------------------------
* Rider just won the intermediate sprint. I'm just wondering wether he can repeat this tremendous effort at the finish line.

Attack attempt:
-------------------
* Because rider X isn't the best sprinter, he must try to escape from the peloton. He just tried to get away.

rider can't follow his group
---------------------------------
Rider X really has some problems with the speed of the rest of the group, I think he forgot to drink in time.

Flats:
-X is yelling at his bike. It appears he stopped for a natural break but rode too far off the road and flatted. That's not going to help, X<firstname>.

Falls:
-X went the wrong way on that last round-a-bout and crashed.
-X rode into the back of another team's car and crashed. He's back up now, and he is not happy. He's lost time and his temper. I hope you can't read lips!

Falls with injury:
-X overcooked that downhill corner, and went over the barrier - he looks hurt.
-Race radio is reporting a small incident in the main bunch. Everyone is back up and in the main group except for X. It looks like he broke a collarbone.

Attacks:
-As the peloton enters the feed zone, X, Y, and Z are taking this opportunity to attack. That's just rude.
-Several riders are attacking on this technical descent. We'll see if X and Y can get away.

Dropping off the pace:
-Several strong riders are forcing the pace over this section to break up the pack. X, Y and Z are starting to yo-yo off the back. They've been dropped!

Successful attack:
-Race radio is confirming the names of the riders in the escape. X, Y, Z. They are working well together to increase their lead.

hehe, I especially like the round-a-bout...

[gillias]

(name) was driving behind his teamwagon, to bad it hit the brakes and he could not avoid his head being smacked on the floor. It looks pretty awfull for (name)!

Endsprints:
-X came out of nowhere to win this race by a wheel. That was a classic McEwen-like move! Y, in second place, could only beat his handlebars in frustration.
-After a perfect team lead out, X powers to the line. No one could stay with him. He's thanking his teammates and they deserve it.
-That was very close. X raises his hands in celebration; he obviously thinks he's won. Here are the official results. X is right!

Intermediate sprints:
-The riders are conserving their energy for the big finish and are not racing for this intermediate sprint. X rides through and will take the points.
-X wins after getting a leadout from a teammate. He is really fighting for these points.

Cyclist cannot follow his group:
-X has been dropped. He's been fighting to stay in contact, but has lost the wheel and is losing sight of the group.
-The climb is too hard for X. He's been dropped.

Flats:
-The wet road has been causing lots of flats today. This time it's X who's waiting for a new tire.
