So, it appears that we don't have anywhere for us to discuss our races, our seasons and our riders.
So here, discuss the ins and outs of your save game file.  |

Come on guys! Don't be shy!
Just about to start Stage 3 of the Tour of Turkey. Vinokourov and Roman K are my two big hopes for this race. Hopefully, Bennati and Vaitkus can keep up too. Duque and Sarmiento should do fine too! |

Just starting Paris-Nice and Tirreno-Adriatico with my Liquigas team. Sagan and Basso are going to be my leaders for those two races.
Best result so far:
- 2nd in GC and Best young rider at TDU with Oss |

Nice, Franki! Good luck with the Paris-Nice and the TA!
Almost half way in the stage now and Vinokourov litterally attacked from the off to give me a super lead. It's at about 7 minutes with 137KM to go and another large uphill section to go. Kreuziger is in the chasing group which is over 4 minutes ahead of E3. My next teammate is Duque who is in E6 with Bennati who is doing very good so far to say he is not a climber. My other two riders are just two minutes behind them with Vaitkus and Sarmiento being in the peleton which consists of just 49 riders. |

Come on! Why nobody talking?
I'm into the Giro in the first season and Vinokourov and Duque are doing fantastic for me!  |

Not many users here comment that often to be honest, and thanks for reminder with Duque. Time to lower his stats for next PCM.Daily DB, noticed he is kinda overrated 
Good luck in Giro though, what level you're playing btw ?

Well, it's never nice having a 'discussion' on your own, so I'll join in. Just to stop you from talking to yourself, if nothing else.
I'm just starting the Giro in the third season, with Duarte as my leader. He's got great support from Quintana, Pantano and Dani Diaz in the mountains. This variant is so stupidly hard that I'm not bothering with a sprinter, so almost the whole team are climbers! I'm holding back on the sprinters to take four to the TDF!!

Blasphemy, Duque is a beast. How dare you consider decreasing his stats.  He's one of my road captains alongside Fischer.

I am sorry Tbh the only thing I'd decrease it's his acceleration and the hill stat a bit.
Wow, you have a lot of games going for PCM I see with this one great story here and the other one, I couldn't do that Main fault would be FM 12 and FIFA though

Yay, some conversation.
Aye, Duque is a beast. He won us stage 2 after he attacked with 3KM to go, and 4-5 stages later and he still has the leader's jersey. Vinokourov has just won a stage for us though, a hilly one. Duque managed to keep up with the peleton in it so he's doing much better than expected. Lofkvist is doing good after a poor start. Posthuma, Skujins and Proni are just hear to collect water mainly. Posthuma could bring us a nice placing i nthe Time Trail if he wanted though! |

does anyone know how to keep the same sponsor when your sponsorship time runs out in career mode. i keep having to change sponsor every couple of seasons which is really annoying |

Well, two games isn't really a lot I've just lost a little bit of motivation for the story at the moment, so this other save is getting raped before I go back to the mighty Skoda - Orlen
FM is definitely a hazard to PCM'ers though, I'll give you that.
@Pro King, Duque has never really got me any top results, but he's ALWAYS there, no matter what the terrain. His biggest win was a stage of Paris-Nice, but he's a strong leadout man aswell.

Yeah, Duque is a good rider. Thanks to his hill stat, he rides very well and can keep up with the peleton if the terrain isn't too challenging for him. |

Pro King, you might want to download one of the many databases available online, also in this forum. Just as a tip, as I see you don't even have real names for some of the teams.
On topic: As I wanted a save where I don't have to report everything for my story (), I started a career with FDJ, you know long time goal is to bring the French cycling back to the top, but I doubt that it'll last that long Anyway, it just started after some season planning, and Fédrigo won the second stage of the TdU but unfortunately, a break came through the stage after that so he fell back to fifth. I have to hope for the Willunga Hill (playing on hard btw).

I fired up PCM, after putting OPQS story to hold for a short while and got Sky extreme carrer going. And got my first race victory with break early on Sutton and in finale out sprinting others. I gotta say after this race was my first in ages, I felt my victory was a little bit like Pellizotti -esque

I would download a database but I have a problem with WinRar and extracting and placing the files. 
Good luck with FDJ, I've been reading your story, btw, it's pure magical! Fedrigo has done okay on my game, he came 12th in the GP de Romandie which isn't a bad result for a rider of his standards.
About to start Stage 6 of the Giro now. |

First of all thanks for the nice words about my story
And as far as I know, if you download the PCMDaily DB, you download a setup and don't use WinRAR, so you could maybe try that.
And good luck for the Giro

I'll have a look about and see what I can find! Thanks!
And thank you! I hope Duque can keep with the peleton but this stage is pretty hilly so anything could really happen. And as usual, it's up to Proni, Posthuma and Skujins to track back the breakaway group.  |
