I think in Cont_21.xml you need to edit the file in such a way there are bonis and points at the finish.

100 km and 6'15
90 km and 7'18
80 km and 8'12
70 km and 9'02

Bardiani, AG2R and Colombia seems to be taking it easy today.
50 km and 10'53
40 km and 11'38
Best placed rider in the break is Poux at 15'08
30 km and 12'40
20 km and 13'45

Bardiani pulls the peloton apart along the seaside. Ironically they only drop Balloni of the GC contenders.

Poux goes solo with 16 km to go.
i1316.photobucket.com/albums/t605/Atlantius_PCM/EPIC/E-Lang-8-%205_zpsqsrkjdo3.jpg
Bardiani continue pulling things completely apart behind. They must really want that 5th place since they are ready to sacrifice their GC leader…

The situation with 6,5 km to go for Poux:

Kochetkov bridges the gap to Poux with 2 km to go.

Having a bit fresher legs the Russian takes the stage. Time will tell how this will affect the GC.
i1316.photobucket.com/albums/t605/Atlantius_PCM/EPIC/E-Lang-8-%209_zpss0anpkmy.jpg
It really is a crazy battle behind.

1,6 km for the sprinters
i1316.photobucket.com/albums/t605/Atlantius_PCM/EPIC/E-Lang-8-%2011_zpsqoxqrsaw.jpg
Brookes gets a deserved 5th after the crazy ride by Bardiani.
Now we just have to see what kind of gaps are awarded…

Balloni loses his top 10 to Poux after having been caught behind by his tammates "chasing".

For some reason Algarve seems to have it's own .xml.
Can someone with PCM14 check if you have t1_algarve_class.xml in your xml folder in the game directory?

Alternatively cycleman needs to open the savegame with an editor, go to Races and change gene_sz_classification to e.g. default.xml.

What a foolish move by the team in Green - I guess they are obsessed about setting up the sprint. Just crazy moves though!

Paris - Nice | Stage 2


Rambouillet - Saint-Georges-Sur-Baulche (205 km)


i.imgur.com/XdRcSlI.jpg


Today's stage is taking the pack a turn down south and we're finally heading for Nice in Southern France. The pack won't be in a hurry and 205 km has to be passed today, where the sprinters will most likely run with it all.

Peter Sagan needs to get a better position and someone has to stand up to Cavendish today, which proved yesterday that sticking to your own train, might be the only way to beat him.

Stage


i.imgur.com/6lWEec5.jpg

Again no one was scared of showing who'll join todays breakaway and in the end was 3 men the lucky winner of being in todays break. The hopeful riders are T.Stamsnijder (GIA), T.Leezer (BEL) and K.Palmarsson (VCD)

i.imgur.com/BgbYh2R.jpg

Tom Leezer (BEL) was asured that helping Riquelme in the sprint wasn't an option and getting some spoints and easing some pressure, would be the perfect help for Riquelme.

Kristjan Palmarsson2 pts-2

Kristjan Palmarsson (VCD) didn't want Leezer to feel too confident, if it were to end in a fight for a stage win between the two.

There's been a crash in the pack and the involved riders are E.Gasparotto (AST), M. Bulik (BGZ) and B.Mollema (BEL) was involved in the crash. We will hope for Mollema that this won't cause any issues later! We can though announce that they were quickly back in the pack.

i.imgur.com/E3jUXL1.jpg

The fight for wearing the KoM jersey was finally upon us and T.Leezer (BEL) takes it on the line ahead of K.Palmarsson (VCD). There is 42 km left and the break has a 3 minute gap.

Several riders are dropped, there is no report saying how this was caused and we can notice that J.Roy (FDJ), P.Rosanski (LTB) and S.Paulinho is involved with some other helpers. The circumstances are weird and worse enough none of the FDJ riders are aware that their leader is behind them.

i.imgur.com/nTEv4jj.jpg

The break is caught with 6m left and the chasing pack has wasted a lot of energy getting the break back where it belongs. Katusha seems to be doing Sky's work and the only positive thing is that Kristoff isn't alone today.

i.imgur.com/vpbezS5.jpg

Cavendish is already in 3rd position behind Hayman and Swift. Mezgec is on Cavendish's wheel and the Chavanel brothers got Coquard ready with baby brother Sebastien ready to deliver Coquard.

Kristoff has help from Tvetchov and Bole, while Bennett, Farrar and Calzone are alone. No sign of Peter Sagan or Jorge Riquelme and only report coming in is that Sagan is alone.

i.imgur.com/rD5nSYu.jpg

Swift is leading out Cavendish, but Mezgec has already opened with Calzone and Debusschere trying to get into position. Kristoff is waiting for Bole to put him into a good position and Sé.Chavanel has Coquard on the wheel of Cavendish.

i.imgur.com/cunyZpn.jpg

Swift takes a monster leadout and seems still to have some energy pulling Cavendish into the sprint while crossing the Flamme Rouge. Calzone and Mezgec opens their perspective sprints, while Coquard and the others are using Swift's hard work to their advantage.

Cavendish opens up, with Coquard and Bouhanni trying to follow his lead. Kristoff is approaching on the left and Calzone is losing ground heavily. Sagan is missing from the front and Mezgec is also trying to keep up!

Cavendish holds his line and Coquard could only try and follow Cavendish. Bouhanni was invisible until the end and must see Kristoff taking 3rd by just being quicker. Hopefully someone can challenge Cavendish tomorrow.

Good report, but pfff 11th for the 3rd time in a row for Riquelme. I just hope Mollema is ok now.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Calzone opened his sprint way too early. But at least a few more points are coming in after yet another top ten.

Much improved from Bouhanni. Small point on the report, wouldn't describe Roy as our leader. Vichot is better on hills than him, there are no mountains and there is no tt.... But otherwise good work as usual

The Race


i62.tinypic.com/nyvdd4.jpg

We see attacks straight away, first guy to go was Barrier (BSE). He is followed by Engoulvent (SOJ) and Bonnet (COF). Graziato (BAR) and WCG (Caethoven) react slightly later.

i62.tinypic.com/1z48gi8.jpg

On the first short ascent of the day, more riders escape the peloton, the first two are Claevs (CRE) and Soupe (FDJ). A trio always try to bridge over, they are Waeytens (TSV), Marc de Maar (UHC) and Raeymaekers (TNN). They all come together to form a break of 10 riders around 180km out. They have a 3'30" gap.

i61.tinypic.com/30hrnds.jpg

At 160km to go, Lotto and IAM are the teams contributing to the control of the peloton and allow the gap to stretch over 5 minutes.

i60.tinypic.com/15i2cs5.jpg

125km out, the break see the first part of pave, however the sections are short and there is no action to support.

i60.tinypic.com/21a0nr9.jpg

The race has now entered the circuit to the finish, here we see the cobbles the race will finish on, there is a slight drag up to the finish but the riders will have plenty of times to see and analyse for the last time in. The gap is now 4'13".

i57.tinypic.com/308d4x1.jpg

Bad news for BMC! 50km to Van Avermaet punctures but he quickly supported back to the peloton however that is energy he didn't want to lose.

With 30km to go, the gap is now under 3 minutes with Belkin and BMC using most of their firepower at the front. The race seems to be in a bit of a lull at the moment.

i62.tinypic.com/iomc0g.jpg

But the race is made interesting when with 22km to go Roelandts (LTB), Vanmarcke (BEL) and Elmiger (IAM) attack.

i61.tinypic.com/2irp1me.jpg

BMC looked well drilled at the front of the peloton though and don't let the dangerous trio out of their sights. At 20km, the break still has two minutes.

i58.tinypic.com/s2tfd1.jpg

But BMC struggle and after 5km of riding hard on the front, the trio still has around 20 seconds. The gap to the break now starts to crumble.

i60.tinypic.com/53l4wz.jpg

In front de Maar and Engoulvent drop their breakaway companions. The duo only have around 1'17" of a group.

i59.tinypic.com/25fisjt.jpg

Van Avermaet ends up bridging solo with about 10km to go but its more wasted energy as the trio pulled up as he got there.

But Elmiger catches them napping and the three try to hold onto his wheel.

Only 3km later IAM work to bring him back only to let Haussler off his leash with FDJ's Offredo. The 4 previous riders join them to form a group of 6 with two IAM riders. The leading duo still has 1 minute with 7km left.

4km to go, action right at the front of the race, Engoulvent goes alone! 48 seconds in front of the group of 6 favourites.

Guess who's back, back again, Marc de Maar is back, tell a friend, he gets back to Engoulvent but also does the rest of the break a moment later thanks to Soupe who then powers past the duo with a bout 2km to go. it looks like the win will come from the break. The only ones to match his speed are Graziato and Claeys.

And Claeys does come around and takes the victory for Crelan! Soupe finishes 2nd for FDJ and Graziato rounds out the podium. The rest of the take the top 10 with the riders behind no where to be seen...

Certainly can't complain about the result. Soup on the podium was a surprise and a great result for him. Offredo had a good rider further back. Still plenty of good points and good feeling heading towards the WT classics.
