Okay, so to get my motivation for PCM going again, I started a completely new and strange project. I'm playing with a custom team and the constraint to only have one rider from a certain country at any given time. Also, the aim is to win every single race with a rider from the respective country. Since I also include the .2 races, I'm starting as a continental team and will probably stay there for quite a while, at least until I find a strong Korean climber  We'll see how long I'll stay true to these conditions ^^
So far, Greg Henderson won the NZ Cycle Classics. Next up is Valley of the Sun stage race with Craddock. Here's the team:

Haha, I actually thought about making a story of it, but I don't think I could keep that up. I'll keep you updated here, though

Alex Rasmussen just won both Danish NCs. I didn't notice he was still in the db as a Garmin rider.
Would it take long to remove his results from the db or am I better off ignoring it?
I also got a message that Chris Froome won the British NC a few days before the actual NC. Haven't actually checked if this means I got two British champions, but if anyone has experience with this...

No, need to delete two lines in DYN_Palmares. Will need to look up in his rider ID in DYN_Palmares_Cyclist then find that ID in DYN_Palmares, the rows to delete will be those with 2014 and the right race IDs. IF you don't replace him though you will have no winner in the Danish NCs. Also if you replace him, you would need to switch the national champion in DYN_Cyclist, so the right rider wears the jersey, so maybe ignore it.
[b]I also got a message that Chris Froome won the British NC a few days before the actual NC. Haven't actually checked if this means I got two British champions, but if anyone has experience with this...
No the second one will replace the first. The game is hard-coded to select certain national champions, as long as the actual NC is after the date that occurs it replaces it. |

Does anyone know what the little red and white bullseye that shows up next to some riders when they are selected in the 3d mode means? I think maybe it is the team leader but not all teams have a rider with it. |

They don't want to relay.
If you right click on them and then the same button, then you can see why they won't relay

So.
I was doing a Burgos career when I saw that there's actually a 2014-ish update for the FCD.
So I downloaded it and really want to do a proper Asian career now. It failed last time because the PCMdaily DB isn't focussed at Asia at all. FCD is though.
Edited some stats & transfers(was a bit outdated), added some key Asian sponsor(packs) that the FCD overlooked, and now I'm ready to go, yay.
Will be CT, but not one of the weakest teams this time. 100% Asian at the start, won't stay like that I think, but will stay Asia-focussed.
Just need to decide on a sponsor now:
- Sinopec
- Samsung
- Qatar Airways
- Petronas
- Japan Airlines
- LG
- Petrochina
- Fly Emirates
So hard

I would suggest you to make it Asian/Australian-New Zealandish team. And as I recall Petronas had a very nice jersey in PCM daily DB. |

Yeah, that doesn't sound too bad
Petronas has a nice pack indeed(Deksel). It wasn't in the FCD though, only a mediocre Petronas jersey without NCs. So Petronas is one of the jerseys I've put in the DB myself, and certainly a good option, thanks

If I was you I will chose between Japan Airlines and Samsung. You have nice races in Japan and South Korea (for the home races) and I always thought that South Korea and Japan are left behind when is about exotic careers.

Not that any of those sponsors are CT level sponsors, all being fairly large companies. Qatar Airways and Fly Emirates are not really Asian either, more Middle East
So where i kept my Lasnik career after that story stopped i have kept playing it and developing Tom along the same skill lines i had planned.
2013 carried on being a good season, racking up 11 victories (mostly in French one-day races or stages) and getting Roubaix promoted to the PCT.
For 2014 i made no new transfers and just developed the team. Lasnik took 15 wins, including 2 stages and the GC in 4 Jours, finishing the season as Top10 of all PCT riders. Barrat came along decently taking a couple of .2 wins including the Tour of the Pyrenees. Van Achteren grew into a good level classics rider taking 10 wins. It was easily enough to stay at PCT level.
For 2015 i pulled in a couple of new guys to replace some older riders who i let go. Highlights so far were a stage win in Paris-Nice for Lasnik, GC wins in the Med and Crit Int for Barrat, and podiums at both Omloop and KBK for Van Achteren.
Not sure if i'll continue beyond 2015 though. Probably wait until the 2014 DB comes out and focus on other things first

@TMM I know, the goal will probably be to go to PCT in 1 season. There are just not many nice jerseys/packs from minor Asian sponsors, so I'm forced to pick a big sponsor. Middle-East is still Asia according to my geography books... At least I'll count it as Asia.
@LSDS Will consider that, though Chinese companies even have better homeraces, and Malysia has Langkawi, and Fly Emirates & Qatar have Tour of Qatar. (Yeah, Fly Emirates is from Qatar in FCD due to UAE not being in the DB).
Lasnik developed nicely

Well, one of my careers has some interesting results
Made a career of a custom team which is all of the best young riders (daily XMLs) and Walter Susilo, left over in my omnipurpose Hobbit DB 
I'm in 2016 and the best stat, excluding Walter, is 73, so we're still in conti
Shame, but it's still pretty fun. My INg career is failing, odd with that team, but we have 0 domestiques, so it isn't surprising
Did win the Ronde though, easily. |

Hmm, winning the Ronde isn't bad
ING career looked a bit crazy anyway
But you should've been out of CT with your team though

It was a bit crazy, but with that squad just the Ronde isn't that good. Hills failed as Cervero got injured, and GTs were not really what this team was for. We won a lot of little things (Omloop, E3, G-W etc, but nothing too big minus the Ronde.
It was the other team in conti, the one with highest non-Susilo stat at 73, ING is in WT.
It may seem crazy, but it's just what. I could remember from my pcm12 career, so all riders were real, I just forgot some, I might add them back in, but then I'd be OP, all my riders had 1 pot stat above 80 |

Yeah, I got that far, but with Susilo and a 73 stat rider, you can get out of CT I think.
(How good is Susilo there?).
And in my experiences, OP is not fun

Susilo has similar stats as in my story, bout 76tt 74hill. He got injured a lot though, almost all the first year, and lots the nest year. I have a few 72 ish riders, but none are astounding really. I dunno why I haven't got out yet. |

Hi guys. I've got a small problem with Riders Objectives in fourth season. Something happened to the fitness curve, and I cannot plan the season for my riders.
I don't know how to explain this so I made Screen of it.
Do you know how to fix it? Is it even possible?
