The prophecy has come to fruition, (that's a very pompous way of saying I told you so)
Too late for this, but if it was to be done again, you can still use the old XMLs, I do.
Also, that's brilliant from Colombia, but a few young, (still real) riders I'm top tens too |

I already said that at the release of Kentaurus files. But what do I know I've only been fiddling with the xmls since Cyanide first implemented them way back in 09 (think it was 09, could be 08 aswell) |

Nice idea. Maybe you could post a few screenshots each season with the stats, to see how are they looking.

After the complete domination by the Colombians last year, many were wondering for how long this trend would last. Also, would Cavendish be able to cope with other riders such as Sagan and Kittel? Well, the year certainly gave us answers to those questions.
Bauke Mollema, in his last season, had a great year compared to his previous seasons, winning both Paris-Nice and Pais Vasco aswell as finishing in the podium in the TdF. Sadly, some might feel he never accomplished what might have been expected of him.
Peter Sagan continued his winning ways, showing himself as perhaps the best Classic/One-week-race-rider in the world. His win in Milan-Sanremo denied Cavendish his 7th win, allthough "The Manx Missile" never came close, only managing a 10th place. Managing not a single major win all year, perhaps the missile is all burnt out?
One who certainly isn't burned out, and who will be firing on all cylinders for some time to come, is Marcel Kittel. In the same year as he took his 42nd Giro-stage, equaling Cippolini, and yet another point jersey in both the Giro and the Tour he also took his 3rd WC-title. Eventhough he's one of the oldest riders in the peloton, he is still a red hot favourite to take the WC-record for himself next year.
Speaking of the Giro, Tour and Vuelta, whocan forget last years utter domination where the colombians won all three GTs? Many where doubting wether or not it could be done again, but the sceptics were proven oh so wrong. First Quintana took another Giro-title, before Betancur answered by winning his 4th Tour de France in 5 years, making it three in a row. Henao finished the whole thing off by making sure Colombia won the Vuelta A Espana for the 6th time in a row!

Don't get too excited; the only reason why they won is because during the last three years there have only been 4-5 riders below 25 in he GTs. The ones who win the youth jersey always finish something like 2 hours behind and in 150th place in the GC.
In this years Tour Luke King the only rider in the Youth-competition.
Doesn't sound like Daily's xml's are doing too well... maybe they need to be modified a bit.
Ya, that indeed sounds crazy! I guess I do sorta enjoy real riders more than generated ones, but by the sounds of it, they do need some work.
Colombia really is dominating tho!

He's a robot tho, so all they'd have to do is update some of his software and he's good to go for another 5 years or so

A regen is a rider generated by the game. They are generated in order to ensure that the game still functions even after everyone is retired

Can you all see hose photos? I seem to remember there being some trouble on the original story where only I could see them.

The fake rider's that come through the under 23's each year, normally because of certain human rights saying you can't have real under 16's in the game (at least that rule effects FM) also you will reach a point where we just don't know who the top young rider's that should be coming through are and would then have to use the regens.
(technical name should really be newgens as they are newly generated, not the old stars regenerated but regen is probably more commonly used if not quite accurate)
EDIT: and yeah I can see the photo's
