Did for the Ardennes... Kwiatkowski only managed 5th, 3rd and 10th...
Has PCM13 changed it's difficulty stuff? On 12 i had to really work for wins on Hard, and now i can just smash out results above expectation on poor form, poor rythm, with poor support... or a mi just that good

Manx, one question. Have you sent only Boonen to MSR or also Cavendish? Which type of sprinter is generally better in this race (better SP and bad HI or worse SP and 70+ HI)?

Depends how you race it...
Quick Sim, best SP (Cav)
3D, best HL (Boonen)
I sent both anyway. Cavendish to sprint, Boonen in a free-role

WTF is this shit PCM?
Yeah, don't worry about that breakaway that's 19 minutes ahead  . Still, I'm not complaining, so many CQ points! 
Anyway, after an amazing April, we are on course for promotion to the WT... Only 2 guys out of contract, Pullar and Townshend, who will probably leave, so I will have 5 or so slots to fill in the team. My main target is Kennaugh but there are hardly any British or Irish riders out of contract this year. It's weird. Fenn and Rowe are available again (1 year contracts?!) as well as Thwaites but I need climbers, not sprinters. I do, however, need a new sponsor first... |

Wow, already going for WT! Impressive!
Meanwhile, I did edit the 2014 DB unto satisfaction, so I'm ready
Going for a BeNeLux career. Not with a Dutch team. Not with a Belgian team. No, instead, I'm going with Luxembourg! Team Spuerkeesse(Sparkasse in German).
I just have to learn to spell the team name, make a team, and then we're off

Well, I'm not really going for the WT. It's just sort of happening. Anything is possible with Yates and Yates  . (And Rowsell clearly.) |

He won't re-sign  But it fits with a scaling down of the budget

I've a question for you. I'm in August in a career right now. Transfers are happening and some unrealistic moves had already been done by PCM. My question is: when is the best time to edit this? At the start of the new year? In the editor, it's just change the teams of the riders and put them in the new ones?
Thanks in advance. |

Do it between the end of October and the end of the year. I think the season ends on the 24/10, so any time after that. |

Cheers for your answer. It's just change the teams in the editor? Or do I have to change anything more? |

You don't have to change anything else, no. If you really want, you can find them in Cyclist Contracts (or something like that) and change their squad status and wage but I wouldn't bother. |

It's not just the team change. In DYN_Cyclist_contracts or Cyclist contracts you should also change the team the rider rides for.

Woohoo! Sponsor goal was a stage win, which I finally got on the final stage, but the other result is a nice bonus! Hocevar was the only one in an earlier break without any time losses.
For the rest:
Euskaltel -> Telefónica-Portugal Telecom
FDJ -> Leroy Merlin
Astana -> Apple

Nice one Selwink. An Post Ras is always such a weird race with so many flat stages and only one truly decisive stage. It makes for weird AI, especially with the small teams. So a 1-2 is pretty impressive.
Back to my career and Simon Yates has a ridiculous development speed. While all the others develop as you'd expect, 2-3 "upgrades" a season, Simon is motoring on. I'm at the Amgen Tour now, so only 17 months into the career and he's on 78HIL!!! As well as good stats all around. I think he'll be going for the Ardennes next season.
