Yeah, i'm pretty sure that the 79 has the better chance.
I'm not sure how important the race day condition is, but it surely is important in the chance of winning the sprint. |

And the crowd go wild !! Derek Quay comes in 4th !! Bit of a poor call from me as he still had some juice left, maybe should have fired my sprint a lot earlier. But still he was 11th and surged up the field to take 4th.
Freddy Brackstone finished 20th so not bad for the water boy
Thanks to everyone who has helped and given hints, without I think I would still be languishing in 20th + without a clue how to finish a race |

Erm.... how on earth are you meant to keep afloat on this game ?
I have not spent a single Euro on anything, no new staff, no new bikes no training camps...
But every month I am cruising futher and futher into the red. Im like 55k overdrawn and my amasing race antics netted me WOW 2000 Euro.
Does this game get a grip or do they like spiraling you into debt ( bit like the real world )
and what about this 480k My sponser hasnt even fronted... Grrrrr |

You haven't contacted new staff, but the current ones are probably very expensive. So you can release them now and edit your balance (open savegame with editor: DYN_manager -> finan_i_solde).

With which editor are you opening the save?
And yes, the game isn't much good in that point.

Perhaps try saving it with another name and loading that file?

Yeah , inadvertantly while trying to edit my current save I found an old save. As Ive spent the best part of two evenings trying to work out trains I can now at least just sort my cash out then flow straight into the Beeverbrook with a guarenteed top 10 finish. Maybe this time fix my mistake and put Team Pro Flying Badger on the podium ?!! |

Beeverbrook, is that supposed to be the Beverbeek Classic in Hamont-Achel? |

When your done, don't click "save database". Click "export" and choose your save. |

Wahey, just managed to get a 4th and 8th using all 8 of my guys in a sprint train and also by free loading off other teams
Gonna try that again. IE: My best one was when my team member shot off to join my back up train only to cut through the middle of my primary ! Nice one Neilson, I guess thats why you have an Avg of 54 ? |

We all look forward to hearing how your sprinters do once you get to the mountains.
It was eleven more than necessary.

A tip that helped me win more sprints:
If you have your lead-out lead out your sprinter, but someone else passes you before the 1km mark, jump on his wheel instead. At the 1km mark (800m max) let your sprinter unleash his power.
Might be obvious to most of you guys, but it wasn't for me. =D |

Thanks mate, yeh ive learnt how to get a free ride off a few riders. So far ive been pretty lucky and got my own team to do the leg work.
Its certainly something to try, especially if my lot are tired out !
