Pretty sure that this has been asked before but is there a way to change those stupid sponsor goals (especially for a custom team)? Because it's just so illogical for Austrian(also Alps countries) team to have Tour of China, Tour de Langkawi, Tour of Taiwan, Tour of Azerbaijan as it's main goals.
Easily done. Download any editor and change "Objectives". That'll do it. |

So, here we go then. 2015 in the WT. Main goals are the classics and stage wins in the GT's. I don't have a real GC contender so just going to have to go on the attack a lot. Don't know which sprinter to send to the Giro and Tour. I'm thinking Kristoff to the Giro and Swift to Tour? A lot of the Giro stages are long so Kristoff's better stamina may come in handy.
Fredrik Ludvigsson looks like he's going to be better than Simon Yates . Of the 2 "new-gens", Doyle is going to be a pretty good, explosive climber (around 77 in MO and HIL) and Pearson should become a pretty strong rouleur (mid 70's in FL, COB and STA + pretty good allround) but neither will be top WT riders.
Wow..did u edit riders stats and potentials?seem A. Yates mountain so high..nice team by the way |

The only thing I edited was I put Adam Yates' potential up to 7 to match his brother (wanted him to become a team leader to make my career more fun). I haven't touched Simon at all and he will get a lot better than that still. He still has 2 stars in quite a few attributes. Notably MO, TT, PRL, SP and REC. Must have just got lucky in this career . |

I could list all of my Quickstep wins but we'd be here for days. So short summary of the second half of the season.
TDF: 5x Stage wins for Cavs. TTT win. 1x ITT win for Martin. 2x Stage wins for Chavanel. Points Jeresy for Cavs. KoM for Chavanel.
Won the GC in Eneco as well as 3x stages all for Boonen. And the Points jersey. (amazing season!)
3rd in Plouay with Pineau! from a breakaway
Won Vattenfall with Petacchi.
Vuelta: 3x Stage wins for Kwiatkowski. 2x Stage wins for Velits! 6th and 10th GC for Kwiatkowski and Velits
Quebec and Montreal won by Boonen! (the man is physically unable to not win)
Cavs also added 4 ToB stages
Martin - Kwiatkowski 1-2 in the Worlds. Chavanel 6th, Vermote 8th.
Kwiatkowski 4th in the Worlds... Guess who won?
Fucking Tom Boonen! Strong breakaway ride along with Flecha in 2nd... dafuq?
Rounded out the WT season with Beijing. 3x Stages for Cavendish, 2x stage for Martin. GC for Martin, Points for Cavs.
Lead WT, CQ and Victory rankings for Individuals (WT and CQ Boonen, Victories Cavs) and again for Teams.
Season of just absolute utter domination from the TDU to Beijing. Frankly ended up not being that fun... Sooo on to another fun time career, which will either be a custom Aussie CT team or recreating Node4-Rexona.

Yes fairplay i thought reason was cuz of Adam, but like you say you gave him 7 which is good else he never devolpe. Which brings me on to my point why dont Barguil get 7 the guy never gets more that 76 Mountain on my game? Same with Kelderman, isit really such a big gap between 6 and 7 |

I really want to win worlds with Cancellara, i always start a save with teams and quit in Aus it doing my heading lol, i dont like Shack cuz of no GC riders and i know ill get board with races Canc is not in. Do you think its possible to win worlds in 3 years with Cancellara(cuz he be 34 in 3 years so he will decline). It's surely impossible, no? With only 74 hil |

What do you think is possible on Hard with Cancellara as long as he is 1 fitness excellent rythm etc... Would i be able to have a chance to win? I like the history of cycling like im quite nostalgic i dont even like Contador but i was Saxo and won loads with him so he is in record books. I would like make Cancellara win lots over 3 years. What is the WC after Pontefedra? |

I have played first two months of 2013 with OPQS and it's just crazy Golas won TDU with 2 stages (one sprint, when he started his lead-out with 3 km to go, but nobody, even Fenn, was able to pass him ), in Qatar Kittel dominated, as Cav was out of form, but Manx nearly missed the last stage victory. Oman was even more fantastic: Stybar got 2nd on Stage 2 with a minute advantage over the rest, then, protected by Golas, he lost ~3-4 min on the mountain stage and dropped to 30th, but the next hilly stage was just totally crazy: I went to break with Boonen, Gasparotto won from it, but behind: Sky attacked with Heano, leaving the leader Froome behind, Stybar also attacked and got up to 3rd position, only 22 seconds beehind Pellizotti, who was 6 secs ahead of Froome. In the last stage, after great effort by Boonen, Stybar managed to win the stage with Pellizotti 4th, so with previously won intermediate sprint he also won the GC Omloop and K-B-K were quite easy with Boonen (first solo attack, second sprint), but Le Samyn was also surprising: all *** favourites were my riders, so I just put Van Keirsbulck, Keisse and Steegmans into an early break, which wasn't chased at all. Although Steegmans failed in mass sprint, his leadout Keisse won, with Gert 3rd and Van Keirsbulck 4th

Probably, yes. The most disturbing thing is the whole results, plus, Porte winning. Is my PCM predciting future? |

Also funny is the fact that everyone's got full names, like Contador Velasco, Rui Alberto Faria [da] Costa (how can the 'da' not bother you? ), then there's 'Richie' Porte and 'Chris' Froome

Speaking of strange results.
Take a look at Vuelta in 2013 in my career. Saxo Tinkoff take 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 8th and 25th.
My team wasn't in World Tour, so I don't know how this happened.

Couldn't you use the forum search for that?
It's AI stats.
Normal: 100% of displayed stat values
Hard: 102,5%
Extreme: 105%
So Contador's MO(if 80) will be 84 on extreme.
If you play with Froome,'it's going to be harder to beat Contador(Froome is 83, Contadors real stat is 84) than on hard or normal
