I performed really well today, placing all my 10 riders in the first 28 places.

The thing is, that 28th place (my 10th) is my leader, which is my best climber, I believe, and the stage had a climbing finish on top of the Kilimandjaro (well, not at the very top

). He is the first rider of the second group. In the meantime, my captains enjoy their good places at the front. Really weird.

Same as last Wednesday.

Krys, what you are stating has been said a thousand times before. The game engine sucks and one of the main issues is that the leader doesn't end up ahead. We can only hope for improvement soon, else this game has no future.

The results of the 2nd pro-tour result are a copy of the 1st.... I again had the tactic to have a final sprint, controlling the race from the first kilometer.

Oh, I haven't watched yet, but I take your word for it. We really should try to set exactly the same tactic sometimes.

Aggie · 09-10-2006, 15:07

My tactic for next Wednesday will be an experiment from my side. I will appoint no leaders and captains and set my team to control the race for a mass sprint from the start.

Shabbaman · 12-10-2006, 08:09

Wow... 0 points. The most remarkable thing of the race: highest placed colly's team rider on place 14. So we're doing something good.
I set my team orders to final sprint as well. Didn't have a lot of success, but then again, no colly's team, hurray... My highest ranked rider is on place 53: 6 wheels sprint, 4 wheels steer and 3 experience. Nice to know that there are 52 better sprinters in the peleton

P.S. It's a good thing that propain is MIA, otherwise I'd be yelling at him now

Kingreno · 12-10-2006, 09:12

LOL. I flipped over my team and made all climbers domestique. They made up 6 out of 20 places in mass sprint.

Shabbaman · 12-10-2006, 09:23

WTF...

Aggie · 12-10-2006, 13:46

My tactic obviously didn't work. I'm still puzzled how colly could score this high in previous races.

The three captains ended in the first group.

Out of curiosity, could you post the stats of those riders?

Aggie · 13-10-2006, 09:50

Erdelyi: 7 climb, 5 time, 4 bad road, 1 sprint, 4 descend, 3 experience, 4 steer, 2 echelon
Lumet: 7 climb, 3 time, 4 bad road, 0 sprint, 4 descend, 5 experience, 4 steer, 3 echelon
Hoff Weekes: 3 climb, 3 time, 2 bad road, 10 sprint, 4 descend, 3 experience, 4 steer, 2 echelon

As you can see it is quite logical that my 0 star sprinter Lumet finishes before my 10 star sprinter Hoff Weekes
