I don't even have the game yet and so far my impressions -mehh.
1) Seems attacking on steeper parts is flawed again according to few...
2) No normal Multiplayer

Wasn't it supposed to be released in 2 hours?
Then why do I have an e-mail from Focus from 9 am this morning with the download links and activation code?
EDIT: Oh look the game shortcut icon is a picture of Andy Schleck.....
*Changes icon to something else*

Could be better. The new invitation system is a bit unclear, something you'll have to get used to. The stage reconnasomething is only for 3 stages in the three grand tours. You also have to increase the brightness of your screen, otherwise it's unreadable. The weird profiles are also annoying. After a pre-season training camp, every rider had 80/80 fitness and 1/5 fatigue bar filled, even though no one said to have trouble. Also, maybe it's my fault, but Contador's picture is completely blue.. What the hell Cyanide? 
About 3d races, I don't like the interface. Every time you want to click on something, it disappears because you're too late. It's also not possible to constantly switch to x8 and back - Every time you have to open the menu and click a few times. The protection screen is gone as well, annoying for when I want to play laidback and I have to precisely click on someone. In the second stage I played (Tour de San Luis - 96 riders!), Europcar was 1-9 until the start of the sprint, then none of them took part in the sprint. In time trials, there's a bug where riders have 0 in every stat if you scroll back to the rider who's starting.
In short: Everything new looks cool but has its problems (and is worthless), and most importantly, none of last season's (sponsors) problems have been fixed. I'm always negative about new stuff though, and most are things you have to get used to, but for now I don't see a reason for any doubters to buy this game. Except that the three divisions could make a new PPDB a lot more awesome

So I think this is basically the story of almost all releases of games now ( not only PCM ) - wait for patches

The dot works even better than before on steep hills. I got rid of the pack without attacking, they didn't even "click" to the rider.

That doesn't sound good...
I hope patches will fix some of these things (or all ) |

Can you still use the + and - keys?

I haven't played it but I saw on screenshot it was one of the commands/controls, so yes. |

The game claims so, but it doesn't work on my laptop. alt+page up/down works, though.
Nice translations
Edit: Only 3 teams just requested a wildcard for the Tirreno. This needs ome work as well..
Edit 2: De Gendt has the highest recuperation in the game. I know you can change that but it made me laugh
