Hi
Since I bought PCM 2010 I have problems with cobble races,
firstly and maybe the most ennoying : when my riders are on the dot or on a relay button on 50% for example, as soon as they arrive on a cobble section they start loosing ennergie as if they wherre on 80-90% (if they are in a breakaway they will go to the front and start wasting all their energie by accelerating the move)... I was used to use the dot a lot in the previous versions of PCM but I can't anymore.
Secondly, except from Paris Roubaix, all of the Cobble races end upby a mass sprint with a Peleton of about 100-150 riders so I get things like Cavendish or Farrar winning Gent Wevelgem or Ronde van Vlaanderen, and other CT cobble races being won by sprinters sometimes with less than 65 in Cob. Cobble sections become just like small hills to pass and good cobble stats become useless.
A part from that the game works fine, I wanted to know if anyone had these kind of Problems or if anyone had any idea of what to do
For PCM 2010, when my riders enter the cobble sections I let them start off with "stay w/group" and if their heart rates rise into the 160's, I then put those riders on Dot at about 35% effort. Of course, if their heart rates are already in the 160's/170's when they enter the cobbles, I put them on Dot immediately, but usually in the upper 30's or low 40's effort.
