I think the latter one is the hardest, since MO stat comes into play a bit then. But well, bunch finish is always for Sagan

I never said it would be a particularly hard task
The group sprints are obviously due to the difficulty, I wouldn't dare to attack on extreme as long as Moser still can pace 
By the way, 1057 WT and 4159 CQ points in 59 race days for Sagan.

Hmm... Seems like I'm obligated to start a new career now.
Right. I'm going to make a PCT team now, I think.

So, after the classics grand slam turned out to be easy with Sagan, I'm obviously going for the GT one! 
Still extreme difficulty, but as I hate Froome and Contador enough that I can't stand playing with them, Nibali it is...bear with me if I won't make it this time

IMO the challenge is to big, Especially if your up against Froome and Contador, in two or three of the three grand tours... but i hope you the best, and i am looking forward to the result... You did well with the Sagen one, so maybe you can do it
Will you post a picture of your objectives/form for the season, quite curious how your form will be when you reach the Vuelta..
But, Good Luck |

I've got two plans for a career when I get around to ordering the game;
- An all-french team with mostly young talents
- A new version of my "Project 2100-story".
There's a fine line between "psychotherapist" and "psycho the rapist"

I know it's hard, but you never know
As it's career mode, I might be lucky with stats development (that's not cheating after all )
Still, I'm a worse GT player than classics or sprint one as I hardly play any.
Playing with Nibali allows me to set the Giro as minor goal and still win it, while I wouldn't risk that playing with Froome against him.
The Vuelta is always special in PCM, so the Tour is obviously the most difficult one.

And the continuation of ridiculous stage race results in quick sim...(final GC already)
This time, it's not even due to form.

Project 2100 and Beyond was awesome. Definetly looking forward to that.

That fitness schedule actually isn't half bad. It seems "peaking" for the 3 GTs is easier than before. |

Well you expect that with a superb form you win against anyone with more decent stats than Hoffman? I don't know the form of the others (but as it's after Paris-Nice/Tirreno they could have started to get some decent form and riding races for the classics) but they could even put the foot off the gas and still be better than a 68MO rider..
And for the 3 GTs:
Nibali would definately be able to win even with a secondary Giro goal because he is one of the best GT riders and also Italian. Tour ok and Vuelta might be extremely hard if there is anyone as good as just bothered about the Vuelta (but probably not as you can see on the last page with Viviani)

I'll probably end up doing both, jumping back and forth between the two. I have a couple of tricks to make the game last longer (in theory).

65 MO, and he's probably around 80 total fitness.
I didn't quite get your first sentence though.

Step 1: check
Lost two minutes to Hesjedal when I was completely blocked once, but the last few stages were extremely easy.
Now onto the most difficult one, luckily Nibali is 82 MO already.
2 to go!

I just lost the Giro  I was leading in the GC with my custom team with Betancour as leader, but lost 4.55 on Stage 10 after he fall in a downhill, than was riding like a person with 60 in MOU after
But no message about injury or anything, so next stage can he be normal again than or still bad? |

He might be injured but still racing. In older games the rider that had this got a red cross indicating that, but since some PCMs ago that has simply disappeared, and there's no way to know if he's injured other than looking at the savegame file.
He'll recover, and if the injury was very small, he could even be 100% again on the next day. But if he was riding so badly, it'll probably take a few more days (8 is the maximum I think).
