So, I've played some flat stages and my conclusions are the following:
-granted, the sprint starts 4 km from the finish, but it seems to me that the last 3 km are made somehow longer, didn't u think so? Before, it took very little time to do the sprintable km, now u have more time, i thought it's more realistic.
-the first 30 riders were usually all sprinters
-punctures take very little time to recover |

I always prefer to update from 1.0.0.0
So I had 1.0.3.0 before and updated 1.0.4.1 from 1.0.0.0.
Everything works fine for me.
As far as I know the patch version is shown in the GameCenter, so you have to wait till this patch is official to join GC again. |

I played flat stage from Eneco Tour by Inflicted. Lars Boom won prologue. After that he won mass sprint on stage 1 with 70 sprint, 78 acceleration. Freire was in Rabo train. Boasson Hagen was 2nd, Cavendish 3rd, Vaitkus 4th, Sagan 5th.
Sorry for my bad English

Well, Amstel is nowhere near to being fixed.
It breaks up a bit in the closing stages, but there was still a group of 60 odd riders at the bottom of the Cauberg.
The problem is it is too hard to drop riders on these short climbs - I tried to in the middle of the race by sticking the whole team on the front and really drilling the pace. Couldn't get rid of anyone even though the whole team had 70+ in hills. Net result was a group of around 150 with 50k to go. Thinned a bit towards the end, but very stupid race, I'm afraid.
Have you ever watched the AGR irl? 
Favourites mostly start to attack at 2nd passage of Eyserbosweg (25k from the finish) Then there's at least 80 riders left in the peloton.
This year they started the final hill with like 50 riders in the peloton... The PCM10 version of AGR always seemed realistic to me, only the time gaps weren't.. |

I played Liege-Bastogne-Liege with Andy Schleck and Cancellara in my team. 60 km before the finish line a group of 15 riders were able to follow the pace. Andy, Cancellara, Samuel Sanchez, Vinokurov, Karpets, Gilbert, Ivanov and Gasparroto were in that group. Contador couldn't enter in it because he did like Tom Boonen in Paris-Roubaix - Went at the back of the peleton to take water. At the end 1.Gilbert; 2.Karpets +10; 3.Vinokurov +19; 4.Andy s.t. and so on. The gaps were real so I'm pleased with that patch. |

I'm guessing that if there are no problems with the beta patch, they'll just rename it to final patch. |

I just finished LBL and I have two problems with it. First, all 170 riders finished the race, which is highly unrealistic. Secondly, Cancellara punctured when he was in the first group and he didn't even leave the group. Changing the tyre was almost instantaneous.
I also did the Paris stage with Garmin and there was actually only one big train, which was mine. All the other sprinters were behind Farrar. There was like a single file of about 12/15 riders. The results were realistic enough though.
The time gaps for hills and mountains are way better though. |

I must say, they haven't fixed the sprinting yet. Since they make the AI do the trains at 4km to go, then you as a human player will get everybody on your wheel if your sprinter is descent. If you make your train at 7-8km to go. So i hope that they change it to 7-8km instead of 4km !

did it happen to anybody else that now after the patch flat and moderately hilly stages end up with the rather small groups in the end?
im at tour de polonge right now and the 2nd stage (check the profile) which only has a really small hill and otherwise is rather flat end up with a peleton of 90 riders, the rest got dropped and and finished the race in smaller groups... same on the 3rd stage, slightly hill no mountain classification at all, 95 riiders in the first group...
then stage 4, 3 hills in the middle of the race only 70 riders in the first group at the end :S there the problem was especially obvious, cos the riders didnt get dropped at the hilly part but ran out of energy during the last 30 km, most of my riders just emptied thier red bar and couldnt keep the pace anymore... the top 10 were on the other hand fairly realistic mostly containing sprinters

Bad form? Bad Stamina?

The results seem too forced now... I don't like the gameplay, even if the gaps are nice. I guess this year I'll stay with PCM2009.

still doesn't seem to be working properly in my game, in fact it's made it worse.
in the last stage of the tour down under none of the rider in the break went for any of the mountain or points sprints, which i put down to it being the last stage and none of the riders having a chance to win and being more interested inmaking the break work.
in the sprint, at 12k to go i set henderson to follow Boonen's wheel which he did and Boonen dragged henderson right to the front.
however, this initial burst in speed was short lived and soon the rest of the peleton began to overtake them. as you can see, my riders gerrans and hayman have overtaken henderson despite being only set to maintain their positions in the bunch.
when it came to the time to sprint Gerrans was still near the front so i figured i might as well make him sprint. he started but no one else did.
i thought that the main sprinters would start to sprint at some point but they never did and Gerrans was left to win by a huge margin.
has anyone else had this problem? or is it the way i have installed the new patch?

Tour Down Under in career isnt the best way to judge a patch's success, as most riders all have crappy form

but they didn't even sprint. they just rode to the line. thats the point i was making.
even if they had 0 form they would still attempt to sprint.
because gerrans was the only rider who sprinted he won by miles.
i'll try it again with my next stage, Tour of Qatar, and see if anyone sprint then. |

That does seem fairly unexplainable. And hopefully not common at all.
(Although noone caring about the intermediates or koms is a PCM10 problem full stop)

I never had any problem with people caring for the KOM, always riders in the break who had KOM points would sprint for it.
And about intermediates, you never see breakaway riders sprint for those, but when there's no breakaway, the sprinters in the peloton try to get the points.
I've never had your problem tho, Ringo. |
