I think it's due to their ACC not being high enough to follow attacks. Roy has 67, Dowsett has 71 while Bobridge has 80 and Ben Nasser and Gautier have 77. Then, PCM 13 AI kicks in and as most favourites have attacked the peloton doesn't bring them back.
Anything over 70 is usually good in the game but maybe the MG stat matrix means it needs to be higher? I guess for Roy it's that Richeze is team leader, and Dowsett possible a mixture of Bad Luck, lack of team support and a low recovery stat? Also notice on the start list his team is number 20 whereas other top punchuer are much higher? |

It`s similar to Gautier last season but in a more extreme version.
Gautier was one of many 2nd tier favourites, while Dowsett usually should be a tier 1 favourite here. So it`s very weird as my experience with PCM13 so far was different and the main top favourites usually very active. |

Could it be the lower mountain stat? Doesn't make much sense...
As for Ben Nasser, that was a great ride. Hope he can go in and win the race from here, but I'd not be too unhappy with a top 3 and an achieved goal. The yellow jersey bonus should help us stay on he podium hopefully.

No SN, it's off. I have no idea why Roy and Dowsett are so passive and I feel really sorry for you guys. It may be Dowsett's bad MO and supporting stats and dual-leadership for Roy, but who knows, it can be PCM being drunk again...

Vorganov... You are no sprinter, tried to tell you last year, you failed to listen and now again basically... 
Wonder what Nikolaev's doing as he should be strong enough to survive that hill... Has he crashed somewhere?

And no crashes yet valverde123. I would mention that in report, definitely. It's definitely this killing pace and bad positioning from some guys.

Alright... Assume he worked at the front of the pack then... Which would make sense as the AI sees this as a flat stage for Ulanowski...

Haussler will probably not win anything this season, but three 2nd places already is good enough. Now to keep our positions on GC and hopefully Haussler can keep the points jersey  |

As I expected it was for the break...
Davis 6th is not that bad, now we go to the last stage and there we have to pray for a good result for McEvoy...

So far so good. Another Top-10 finish for Bobridge plus the chance to go for the points-jersey. Now get Gerrans in the break and Bobridge finish at the very front

This is really a terrible race for your team ... 0 points so far right?

Pretty much, yeah.
I can't seem to get why my team doesn't attack, either mid-stage in hilly stages, or into breakaways. Pirazzi has 83 FTR, probably the highest in the race and he doesn't attack. He doesn't. Then Becerra, he's 75 HIl, and he's getting beaten by guys with much weaker stats and his down in 50th place... with 75 Hil. It's just dumb. |

Portela has 85 FTR and 70 HI and yet it is the worst rider on my team on 121th

Another total bullshit stage, AI doing that cheat i was talking about. Attack when your collegues from the break are caught and you won with 99% probability, which happened to Failli now.
Really, i am more and more fedup with it and it is just February. What is set Metinvest role here? Not a single attack during six days and ourt 75hill leader is around 80th place every day, in fact everybody bar Hoffman finshed worse than 80th every stage, what is that??
At least Nolan grabs us point or two, but this is ridicolous, same with Jaguar or Mobil. Game completely randomly assignates a role to the team (according to some batshit crazy logic) as DD spoke about it and there is nothing that can change it during the whole Tour, Dowsett is just doomed from day1 because the dice said so. Meh, such a nice reports and nothing sensible to report...

FTR stat is still debated, and i maintain it has zero to 1% effect in 3D mode at all.

Happy for Failli. Very important to get our first victory. Sort of randomish, but I dont complain. On the other hand, Gatto sucks even when getting into grat positions.

On stage 4; decent result for us. It was good to see Monfort, Oss and Weening all being active. Oss and Weening pretty much did the best they could. Monfort should have instantly joined the four attackers instead of waiting and attacking later. But other than that a good race from him as well.
On stage 5; this is worrying. Looks like we were assigned "break of the day" AI, making Monfort and Oss inactive for the first time. Hope this is different for the crucial last stage.
