Ah, in that case you could edit the DB, DYN_sponsor_regions, to delete these other sponsor regions (or change the % of wanted riders to 0 - then the sponsor will still care for races/results in that region, but won't demand riders from there).

Many Thanks 
Edit: Doesn´t want doubleposting:
Winning my first ever race with my team "les fleches" (Flandern-Only-Conti)on "hard" (knowing this is compared to other guys here very easy).
And the Best: It was a cobblestone (1.1)  (Rider was a Flandern named Q.... - sitting here on work now, so dont know the name exactly) - with DC 69 and COB 70). Cyanide DB.

Taking some time off stories and just playing for myself on laptop, I decided to start up something I did before (Velasquez), make some sort of miracle cyclist, absolute talent. Last time was a bit over the top, so now he's amazingly strong but not over the top (yet)
Now he's a 22 year old Belgian, with his career going so far:
- As an unknown rider won the Belgian NC in the Ardennes in debut year
- Also won two more races that year.
- Went on to get a 2nd place in the Fleche Wallonne, win a stage in Oman and several hilly races.
- GT debut in the Vuelta. After a 2nd place and a 4th place in two mountain stages he finished a decent 13th GC.
- This season, (big breakthrough season) started with stage win and 2nd place in TDU
- Pink Jersey for 12 days, lost it 3 days before the finish, 2nd in the Giro.
- 2nd in the Dauphiné, lost his yellow jersey in the final time trial.
- Winner of Fleche Wallonne (on pure strength) and LBL (with some major luck!)
So far it's going good. But 2nd place in Giro, Dauphiné and TDU is hurting me It's like Rodriguez

I won the Giro!!!!
Joe Dombrowski delivered big on a very poorly contested Giro. Most of the hopefuls (Froome. Molema, Heijedal) totally mistimed form. They all started strong but finished poorly, while I started slowish still needing a bit of rhythm and kept form and energy all the way till the end (top form on the last week). Also, the others brought very little support while I had 1 captain, 6 climbers (75-76), 1 puncheur and 1 nice water mule.
And I'm still in continental and my budget is 102k.
You Maniacs! You blew it up! Ah, damn you! God damn you all to hell!

Hello there. I'm new to PCM and to cycling in general. I've always watched the Tour de France, but until I saw this on Steam, never thought much about cycling. I'm now a convert. Love this game. Digested every tactic on this website and then some. Took me a few races to figure things out and started a Continental team to work my way up with. Got my first top 10 ever in stage 2 of the Tour of Oman. Pretty happy. I hope to do better. I enjoy reading all the stories and absorbing as much cycling as possible. |

Yeah... Even though I know, the game always gets me mixed up with the CT and PCT... lol
BTW, another dumb game thing.
About 3 days before the giro was over, I clicked renew on Dombrowski contract and he asked for 62k as an absolute leader. About 2 weeks after the giro I did the same and he was asking for 32k as a protected rider (after winning the giro)

Bart DeClerq(however u spell it) won from the break. It was a late decision to do the Giro with Costa but i thought why take 3 to the Tour and he took his classic form i.e good rythm into the Giro won 2 hilly stages in first week Rojas won a stage from a break ahead of Sella so it was a good Giro.
I edited becuase the French DB is good but not great imo for stats, and Kelderman would have had 77 maximum in mountain so i gave him 7 potential and put a maximum mountain on 80(his hill can reach 77 so 80/77 is a perfect Menchov, Kloeden type from the past) and he hopefully will turn into a ITT/Climber he as 81potential for ITT. I often edit the potential as Pinot could only reach 78 aswell and i dont like carear's like that. I dropped Quintana down to 82 maximum aswell as he could have reched 83, CF is 84 potential in mountain lmao. So Pinot, Kelderman, Rolland should have good GC days aswell in future 4th is great for 77/74 so i think Kelderman will buck the dutch trend lol and stay GOOD. |
