Recently purchased the game and I'm finding it fascinating. Thought I'd kick off by doing a Pro Cyclist career and although not very far in, I'm finding it brilliant.
I'm aiming to be an eventual GC contender down the line and Climber/ TT are my preferred areas of expertise. I have been regularly hitting the objectives set out by the team, which appear to be sitting in the breakaway for as long as possible.
I noticed the last one however asked me to sit in the breakaway for as long as possible but finish in the top 50 on the Mountain finish. I found it utterly impossible. I could not get in the break away, so I thought I'd sit in and make a dash to finish decent at the mountain top finish, top 50 should have been relatively easy. Again I found it impossible. By the time we made our away to the foot of the mountain, my energy was draining, my team were all over the shop (not sure if I need to be controlling them or if I can?) and it resulted in my basically pushing the bike up the hill and coming in 72nd. haha.
Incredibly frustrated but other than patience, does anyone have any tips for me on conserving energy in the right places when I want to get a decent Mountain finish?
May well be nothing I've done wrong just a shambles of a day in the saddle but comments welcome.
