Hahaha, this game (pcm) really is a joke sometimes. My only attack came from my only sprinter!
And from the fact that he still finished 11th despite the wasted energy I can conclude that he could've done quite well if he hadn't attacked.
But nice sprint. Congrats to Mobil!
The story of my season so far is that my leaders are very strong but also very dumb.

Tbf the staged was rated hilly and it ended on a hill and such the game preserves riders with highest hill stats till the finish, if the stage was rated flat it would be different scenario, so not that big of a fault of game really.
You're were unlucky though, but still got some nice points. Sucks for Oz though..

Ahh, yess 
Well that changes things a lot Well only reasonable thing is to consider that waiting with Weening till the end isn't a bad move, as this race could have been more selective on different play. However the attack by Nardin does look quite pointless
But that's the problem of high fighter skills for sprinter / punchy sprinter. It's proven that high fighter skills make riders more likely to attack mid-way through the stage, and that's how the game is programmed. Hence Nardin is always likely to do so with such high fighther attribute. So yeah, for sprinters it's much better hence to have low-ish fighter skills mostly.

Actually I think the reason is that the game isn`t rating Nardin a sprinter.
He is 73 hill and only 72 sprint. And even if a real player could do well with him the AI acts as if he was a puncheur plus o course the high fighter stat. Still I think he will be a nice rider this season and should score quite a few points.
Oz was really weird this race. First I haven`t seen that they waited for him when I saw him crashing. Needed another look in the replay afterwards. Couldn`t believe this as I never have seen this kind of riding in a one day classic for a low level rider. Maximum in a stage race, when he was in a good overall position.

Nice finish, the sprint was quite good unlike my expectations.
Congrats to Miguel for a nice victory! Hilly sprinters proved their worth here.

Really great race for us - 3rd, 4th and 14th (55 points) was well beyond our expectations. Dall'Antonia was dominant - managing to win a bunch sprint by 8 seconds is a Sagan-esque achievement!
These sorts of races favour our team, our sprinters aren't the
fastest, but they can all climb reasonably well.

I recall Dall Antonia doing Sonnery in a similar style of finish at Langkawi last year. Both riders need specialist parcours but could get those type more often this year.
Things beginning to be mixed up a bit in the C2 races enjoying it!

Yes, that's probably it. Better luck next time.

I thought it was going to be abit hillier then what it was so considering how it was raced I can't be disappointed as we needed it to be raced alot harder then it was to get anything out of it other than our breakaway appearance.

So my tip was right and Tizziano proved this is ideal terrain for him, i like him very much as the rider in the man-game, we can be sure this is not his last great result in CT this season. Congrats
