Wow thats impressive, Contador always puts 1-2 minutes on me whilst playing with Gesink
But when i put teammates to protect me on climbs and i use auto follow i always fall back in the bunch, very annoying
so i'm not alone then lol
contador does in the game what rodriguez is known for in real life hehe.
& yeah, i had noticed that too....how 'auto' just kinda switches itself off at the most annoying moment. usually its either on a fast descent (with lots of bends) and it happens just before a sharp bend....or as you say, on a climb and your trying to stay on the wheel of those (contador hehe) you just know are gonna attack. |

Also when you fast forward the game and drop back in during the last 20k's there is a countdown in which you cant do anything, which means you will lose the wheel of your opponent or slip backwards in the peloton
already lost a few stages because of this, hopefully a patch is released soon |

you don't try to stay on contador wheel
you put best climber to protect you(leader) before climb comes
so after you can come in front of peleton or group favourites
let on small gear 1km and then change on the high gear,having your teammate protected
you don't sprint,let AI to do the attacks,they waist themselfs more fast
keep that high gear even when your teammate is dead
use first cookie if you have less then half stamina
when you are using cookie,change to small gear
after cookie effect finished,again go on high gear
use again cookie,change on small gear
after cookie effect finished,again go on high gear
in last 2km contador will be too much in back and you can change on small gear to not use stamina and finish well
any rider that have 79-80 montain stat cn beat all climbers using a teammate and 2 cookies
you climb in your speed which will be almost same all 15 km climbing
ai will do some sprints but they will sufocate,end stamina after few km
Absolutely no need for that bud! he makes a perfectly valid point. no need to put him or anyone else down for making a couple of observations about the game. heck, if we all did that....you could be slated for something you said previously too:
'at begin of every stage,you can use some energizants.take cookies with full yellow bar
so 2xfull yellow bar
in game that 2 cookies give you a segment of full stamina/energy
that stamina/energy bar has 5 segments
so you don't push when you are "eating" cookie and you will have 20% raised stamina
take and 2nd cookie and you will have a 40%'
as taking two yellows at the start of a stage makes no diff at all to your bars....the yellow only replenishes whats there in green to make-up. but i won't go putting you down like you seem to take pleasure doing to others.

allyc i said the same thing
at begin of every stage appears selecting a rider,then that energy(cookies and fruits)
if you take that cookies at begin of a stage in-race,that's your problem
theobooss you go on your rhytm,no forcying/sprinting like they do
i will make a video with webcam laptop
https://www.youtub...BIc2yyiUMs
beated contador with 50 seconds but evans didn't protected me
was and the only who catched cunego from breakaway
OK good video, but i play the quick tour mode and every stage you get less energy so it doesnt compare to playing only one stage.
But i will try your tactic in quick tour mode to see if it works |

i played a whole tour with van garderen and in annency,last montain stage,i beat contador with 2min and half.evans were a good teammate and come to protect me
beat 4 times contador on montain stages
it's not an excuse that you play a 7 stages mini-tour
i use same tactic and on pcm 2013 game
just if you have the strongest climber,you can sprint on some sections to loose your opponents,you can make some early attacks
but as an top 9-5 climber,you don't waist yourself with early attacks
Tried your tactic with Gadret and it worked, finished only 20 seconds after contador in second place.
Now im gonna try to get a podium spot with gadret in the quick tour |

gadret it's not fit for winning tdf or mini-tdf
Yea i got fifth place with gadret so no podium spot
But i got the achievement so now i have Ag2r on 100%
Still 19 teams left to get 100% on.... |

You can easily win the full Tdf or Mini Tdf with Gadret. I won the full tour by over 10mins with him, If you can get him in an early break (stage 2) the other GC riders won't chase, you can get 7mins on stage 2 easily. |

How much did you lose in the time trials with Gadret? |

Can't remember exactly the amount but it was a lot. probably 10mins between both of them,
I tried to make sure Peraud was 2nd in the GC before the time trails and I used him. The riders directly before and after the rider you control receive a boost, so that meant Gadret was boosted which limited his losses.
Also there is a couple of flat stages where elechlons can form if you go full gas 30-40km for the intermediate sprint, |

Pretty much only just started the game up for the first time, is it possible to pick your own riders to take into a full Tour? Or is it set as the actual startlist of last year's Tour?

According to some forums as well as some applications for programmers of TDF 14, it appears it will be hitting next gen consoles!
Very happy about this, because now I can finally try it out, whether it is good or not.

A: I know I've already asked this
B: It's sounds ridiculous
Q: Is it possible to switch riders from teams?
I.E could I have Rodriguez riding with Greipel? |

I wonder: Is there still no way at all to change stats?
