Bibby, Kangert and Konrad were very well positioned. This has definitely been a good start to the race.
Generali look strong. It's cool to see a team with such a similar philosophy to ours.

Promised a lot, Zordan and Dowsett were in the main move, sad it didn't work out, good signs but there wasn't any gain from it.

How is it even possible that Zaini can loose over 5 minutes in the GC on this stage...  |

Kind of annoying to see this unrealistic finish, with one team dominating the top10 after relaying all day. It's happened before though.
Cheers for the victory Roman!

About where we are expected to be at this stage of the race. Maybe someone stronger tries to get into the break in the remaining stages. Decent effort from Lienhard though.

Sorry, is there any explanation why my whole team finished 20 minutes down? Dont know what happened but now Coppel is out of any gc discussion...

I think I got a replay, so can look at it later, but behind with Circulo de Juarez - Stage 5 report, so will have to wait for that to be finished first.

Wow, Beltran seemed like he had a great day again and the mountain stat had a big influence, probably too big looking at some of those time gaps

Beltran again What a beauty he has proven to be in this game. Congratulations again, redordead!
There's a couple of strong puncheurs/strong GC riders with a decent hill stat that got hit hard by how that stage played out, which must be frustrating. There seems to be a lot to learn with this game, and I still find it difficult to predict what kind of gaps can be expected on hilly stages/easier hilly stages/difficult hilly stages/mountainous hilly stages.
Thank you for the reports so far, Tamijo! |

Really chaotic stage with Bobridge, Coppel, Skujins completely drowned in the rankings. All while Kung, Brandle or Stussi take a top10 with massive gaps appearing! Crazy scenes!
Congrats on the victory though red! The gamble on Beltran is definitely paying off, relegation shouldn't be a concern for you after all!

I know we're in the race but we're also like not in the race.
Seems it's turning towards Senni indeed, bye Zico!
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

It is the 65 mountain killing him at the cat.1
He is ok up to that (sitting in top 40) but about half way up he drops out of the pack, and soon the entire team will surround him trying to help. but over the top they are at 8m+ and over the next cat2 it is 12m+, does not help that there are few good climbers on the team 73-72-71-68-67-65
There is no way riders below 72'ish climbing can cope with constant up/down in PCM 2018, you could say it is to realistic for the MG database.

Hmm, definately not ideal gameplay in my oppinion. This season is really weird - and VERY different.
