I really dislike PCM 13 planning. PCM 12 planning was better. I still do it the PCM 12 way(adjusting bars), but not being able to f.e. copy-paste schedules really sucks.
On an other note:
The 2 main goals in my PCMdaily career are Top 5-ing the PCMdaily CHampionships
@Luigi

Just won the Giro with Quintana, also taking the points, KOM and best young rider jersey's, going into the history books along with Merckx, Valverde will lead the tour then will take both Quintana and Valverde to the Vuelta. Worried about Quintana though, he wants to mull over a new contract. Kwaitkowski, Sagan are both on my shortlist for next year. If I lose Quintana, I may try and sign Froome and TJ Van Garderen.

Just started a new carreer with a custom CT-team. The main sponser is Armavia from Armenia. The team is Armenian based, with some Russians, Bulgarians, Molodovians, and a Austrian rider. My main goal is to be in 2020 a WT-team with at least 10 Armenian riders. Our goal for this season is at least 5 wins.
The Squad:
Name | Kind of rider | Age | Avg. | | C.Armalian | Sprinter | 30 | 64 | | G.Anumian | Time Trial | 24 | 69 | | M.Eibegger | Climber | 29 | 73 | | E.Gerganov | Hills | 25 | 72 | | G.Ghevondian | Hills | 23 | 63 | | V.Isaychev | Fighter | 27 | 70 | | V.Kolozian | Sprinter | 31 | 65 | | T.Korkotyan | Fighter | 31 | 62 | | D.Kozontchuk | Hills | 29 | 73 | | V.Makarova | Time Trial | 22 | 70 | | N.Mihaylob | Time Trial | 25 | 74 | D.Petrov | Hills | 26 | 74 | | M.Rotaru | Sprinter | 19 | 72 | | B.Shpilevski | Sprinter | 22 | 71 | | K.Svasian | Fighter | 27 | 62 | | S.Tvetcov | Time Trial | 25 | 74 | | B.Uzliyan | Time Trial | 22 | 61 | | K.Yaskorsky | Fighter | 25 | 66 | |
We have got already some nice results: In the Tour de Okinawa (1.2) 4 of our riders survived the last climb, and we get 3 nice top 10 results: Tvetcov 5th, Mihaylov 7th, Isaychev 8th! Kozontchuck was to tired to sprint and finished 19th. Then in the Vuelta a Mallorca we had a 4th place for Mihaylov in the first stage! He was the last one of the breakaway who survived, but the peloton get him by the 0,2km to go. At the hills it went well: Kozontchuck finished 16th in the GC and Petrov 19th. Now I just finished the first stage of the Tour of Langkawi: A 3th place for Rotaru behind the winner Markus and the runner-up Thompson!
Ps. I play at Hard lvl.
Always see the bright Side of life!

Just pulled out Marcel Kittel of Giro d'Italia with seven stages left so that he can be fresh for le Tour.
But ehhmm, despite a perfect race by my whole team, im still bitter..
The sponsor demanded a stageswin - i gave them six but somehow they are not registered.. That being said, im more than pleased with the results anyway

I don't thin the game will recognise that you've got a stage win for your sponsor goal until the race has finished.

You're right! I'm now past the Giro and the results have been registered
Now looking forward to some competition in the sprints in the Tour |

Only new here but I am pretty happy with this. Goal was to win all three Grand Tours in the same year and I did it with Contador. The Giro was the hardest race fighting Bauke Mollema to the finish. TdF was easy. Froome lost 8 minutes some how on a flat stage that I quick simulated. Then I just had to fight off Richie Porte. Vuelta was a bit more of a challenge with Porte again and Carlos Betencur but I made enough time in the early mountain stages to hold them off in the later parts of the race when Contador was getting tired.
Goal this year is to win the TdF that will make 5 wins for Contador or at least win the Vuelta to hold the most victories record.

I finally found back some motivation for my OGE-career, which is at the start of the Giro now.
TDU: Albasini won here, ahead of Sagan and Martin.
P-N: Stage win for Goss, plus 2 podiums and several top-10s.
T-A: Kreuziger GC 5th
MSR: Goss 3rd
Catalunya: KoM for Meyer, 18th GC
E3: Keukeleire 10th
G-W: Langeveld 7th
RvV: Langeveld 1st
PV: No noteworthy result
P-R: Langeveld 3rd
AGR: Albasini 10th
F-W: Weening 5th. König had 1min30 lead with 1.5km to go, but was reeled in with 1.2km to go.
LBL: Kreuziger 5th
Romandie: Kreuziger won the final GC, plus 2 stages.
Giro squad:
Beppu
Durbridge
Kreuziger
König
Lancaster
Matthews
Meier
Meyer
Vaitkus
I'll aim on a podium here. Kreuziger (80MO) has some decent support of König (77MO) and Meyer (76MO). With Durbridge, Lancaster, Meyer I should be able to do well in the TTT, while Matthews is here as back-up if the GC fails.

Just finisihed with a awesome tour de Langkawi for my Armenian team . I started with a 3th place in the first stage with Rotaru. In the second stage we got a top 10 place, but stage 3 was the best stage! There was a lot of wind so the peloton broked in several groupes. The first group was 30 riders big. 4 Riders where from Armavia! Shiplevski, Rotaru, Eibegger and Svasian. Our team was the only one who could make a sprinttrain. The result: Shiplevski won, Rotaru second and Eibegger tenth! Several favourites lost a lot of time in the stage. Chaves, Caruso, Ignatenko and Silin where the biggest losers.
Then the mountain stage came. Our goal was a top 10 place for Eibegger. But he know he must do it alone. He is the only climber in the squad for Langkawi. So when the first kilometers went uphill he was alone. But he did a great job! He finished 6th! In the last 2km he was faster then Cameron Meyer, Sepulveda and Zoidl! In the coming stages whe reached a lot of top 10 places and 2 times even place 3! The result:
Shiplevski: 1 stage win
Rotaru: Some podium places and 3th in Points-Classification
And Eibegger: 5th in the Final GC!
Always see the bright Side of life!

I let Kreuziger lead the team in the Giro after finishing 2nd two years in a row at the Vuelta. Was in a comfortable 3rd place behind Froome in second and Quintana first. Ended up finishing 2nd after a weird 20th stage where all the main contenders except for Quintana fell of the back. Froome finished 9 minutes down on Quintana who won the stage in a sprint with Kreuziger. A decent result. |

My Grand Tour success continues. After Froome lost over 6 mins on stage 2 in Corsica in the Tour de France and Contador abandoned injured, I won by 16 minutes with Valverde, taking one stage win in the process.
Also signed a few riders for next season, Barguil, Kwaitkowski and Majka will join the team. Also looking to sign TJ Van Garderen and maybe Kittel.

Hi there.
I'm playing my first season with Lampre after buying the game some weeks ago.
I'm on the Tour de France now, and as it's July, I've tried to sign some riders on my shortlist... however for each all of them, my sponsor only allows 2.000 salaries... and of course they say no.
So is this normal? Is July too early to try to sign them? Is it because I don't have any other sponsors offers? Is it a bug somehow?
I +lay the latest pcm daily database (2014) and I had very good results, just missing till now 2 of the objectives.
Thank you in advance.

If you can only allow 2000 euros, that means you're already at or over your budget |

Don t really know.. I haven't bought anyone.
My finances are about 830.000 and riders salaries about 300 or 400.000
Is the minimum salaries 2.000? I can't even lower it.

Dammm, just lost Quintana to Cannondale for next season, that is a massive blow. But we will carry on, just means the focus of our team changes towards the classics and week long stage races next season.
