I don't get it. It might be some super-realistic feature where if your sprinter is going faster that his leadout man he will pass automatically........ or something.
I cant say i have noticed it myself. But i cant see why the sprinter shouldn't automatically pass the leadout man if his speed is clearly higher than him.
It is a bug and it has been noticed by Cyanide but the Patch 1.0.1.8 doesn't fix it, they say they will fix it though in a futur patch. (Cyanide forum)

From what I get the problem is, that they want the sprinter to stay on the wheel of the lead-out man until the right moment, so that he preserves some energy to be able to hold until the finish without being overtaken.
But the sprinter won't stay on the wheel and just flies past the lead-out man using all his energy, so other sprinters can pass him.
I haven't really played a lot of sprints, and when I have, I haven't had a lead-out man, so don't know if i'm right

Yes that's the bug
Always happens ven though you have a very good lead out man. Weird because sprinters do stick to opponents wheels.
Am I the only one experiencing the "Sprint Follow" bug? Once my riders cross over the "3k to go", none of my riders can "Sprint Follow" whether that be teammates or other riders. I'll have my whole train setup and working smoothly pulling on (or toward) the front, and soon as they hit "3k to go" all "Sprint Follows" dis-engage and nobody can be re-engage to sprint follow.
I've installed every single patch that has come out. If nobody else is experiencing this, then I assume I should probably re-install. Btw, if I re-install, will that use another of my 3 activations (I have the download version)?
