I have a impression that very many breakaways doesn't get caught by the peleton. Actually, almost every third stage ends up with a breakaway group crossing the finishing line first.
Even when i try to catch them, with 5 riders at 90%, i don't have a chance.
It's very unrealistic that 5 riders keep a 2 min lead the last 30 km in Giro d'italia stage 1 for example.
Anyone experience the same? |

Just took my first proper win on this years game: Suicide-attack by roleur on the final bit of the stage. The kicker is that the guy was number 2 in the GC and now holds all jerseys but the KoM.

It's still a very big file. But someone made a San Remo (variant-thing) with less graphics which runs very smoothly! If you want, I can look it up for you! |

I play on hard, so maybe that's it. I know it's something like that with leadout trains for ai.

For todays TDF stage you need wind a lot of that.
You can start with 40 km/h wind (right bottom there is a screen with a windsock) as with 30 etc. you might stretch the peloton but not splitting them as it's too weak. Funny -> todays wind speed when they splitted the peloton was around 20..
Also press "o" to display the windsock above the selected rider.
If it's coming from the front and left or right thats ideal to split the peloton.
But you need also the riders (also the numbers, 1 or 2 don't do the job I think) plus a lot of effort to pull that one off.

I really wanted to start a long career. Cyanide must be preparing a major patch, I hope. In PCM 2012, by now we had 4 patches released. |

I just managed to lose the WC ITT by one [censored] second. I need a [censored] drink.

Think this Waghlon: would be worst if it was the same time and firstly appeared you won and then on the podiums the other guy would won and he would be the WC. |

Havnt yet had one in 13, but some fantastic ones in 10,11 and 12. But as Rin wrote, you need high winds, pretty much exactly across, and some really strong flat guys to make it work.
Most likely to see them in Qatar and Oman than the Tour

I managed to do it on the stage to Old Willunga Hill in my Cannondale career, as I got out to coast it was gusting 75 at times.

I just had a really wind stage, in Giro stage 3. In the variant when it starts in Greece. My team with little help from FDJ at the end drived hard and was 76people in the peleton in the end  |

I have now finished my first season with Rabobank development team(RB3), and to show how this first season has gone, i have decided to tell a small story through pictures...
I earned promotion through getting 27 in the CQ- Ranking
[img] https://imageshack.../o7f8.jpg/ [/img]
here is how earned points to me, and how my riders individually have contributed.
[img] https://imageshack.../wur5.jpg/ [/img]
Here is how i goals ended from the sponsors, they are a bit harder then they started off being, because i though i needed more money in my budget to survive, but it turned out find.
[img] https://imageshack.../tll2.jpg/ [/img]
And now i looking forward for the next season, here is my team, which i hope can bring promotion to the pro tour..

-- i am not use to using "HTLM codes"!(or what it+s called) so i am sorry, if it looks funny, or could have been done better.. |
