The little bottle next to infinite relay is "get water" and the one below is "protect rider"
The rest are the same as usual |

damn you isso..we both did giro has first race..I picked Evans and damn Piepoli just beat me.
Dont quite understand..that bar thing.
And you are right ..it is a little to bright.
Well, the bar is a bit hard to get a feel for, so I just followed everyone's attacks. One guy kept attacking, then another (on the final climb ). there were about 10 attacks. each attack kept throwing someone else out the back.
Then at the end I just outsprinted everyone uphill.
Piepoli was the best climber there, after all
It's going to be tough to get a feel for the new bars.

Damn, work sucks
I have tried track so far ( last place in all 3 diciplins, I'm good I know B) )
and tried one race just to see how good my graphics can be, apparently I can have the game on above medium settings
The new bar in confusing though, this will take a while |

Won't be able to play the new game for a month and a half since I, for some reason, decided to donate my computer to charity (i.e. to my mother) and the specs on my laptop are not enough (I would assume)...
Oh, the reason. You've probably guessed it: $ |

It's good to hear that my review so far wasn't completely misplaced (for the ones who have actually been able to play the game). |

So far I have found it entertaining, especially with the new bar, training program, water bottles, track....it adds something fresh to the game, because to be honest, the last 3 years has only been patches, but this time it's a huge improvement |

It is very good. The track racing is great, although I suck at it. The new bar system in road-mode is a bit confusing, but that may be because I haven't read the manual and have no idea what they mean

After a bunch of track racing yesterday, I can guarantee there are now 3 certainties in life:
Death, taxes, and me coming ninth in every single elimination race. Always finishing with a "oh crap, where'd the guy behind me go? NOOO!!!!"

agreed. I think the graphical and animational improvement has also made a huge improvement - it just feels better when you do a 3D race now.
@Addy - Your not the only one who needs to get used to the bar system - I was playing a career with THR and Hammond had a good break of 3 minutes with 15 km to go - but I sent him too hard and he bonked |

A good thing to remember in track mode is
1. The keys to look over your shoulders
2. The "super-sprint"-thing making it possible to sprint
But I guess you've already figured that out |

This is quite fun..I am ace with that already..reminds me old time TT. But this good damn Theo Bis is unbeatable..I start with perfect position..but just cant take him.
Elimination race is pain that is shure..when I play like idiot always in top places then I am succesful. But if I try to be smart one..be in last places and take and trying to pass last man at the final corner. There is always problem..to close call all siren.. you are out!!!
and yes Crue is correct..read a manual..like it is helpful with any other subject's of life.

Yes I figured it out...10seconds ago
I was just reading the manual and was thinking, "what the hell is the "super sprint" button?"
I didn't know about the "look over your shoulders" button either. The manual knows all

Just did the same thing, never heard about the super sprint before ops:
but I couldn't find the key to look over my shoulder? |
