I will use the real startlist. Just waiting to post it after the tours in turkey and Switzerland have finished invade there are any crashes.
At the moment Tinkoff Saxo are the favourite with Roche just ahead of Astana and Scarponi. currently no votes for Garmin and Hesjedal and a Poor Team Sky. But it would be interesting going them as it would be a lot better if I got a stage win with them than a Great team. |

I'd say Tinkoff Saxo, shared captaincy between Roche and Majka and whoever does better (likely Majka) gets the lead role.

Well you should keep your Sky team, Ill like to see Sebastian Henao climbing there... but if you reconsider your teams, you should use Team Colombia, its a very mountanous Giro...

Right i'm not getting much help with the Team time Trial mainly because i haven't explained it clearly so. What you need to do is send in a tactic like:
| CATALDO Dario | 99 | 8 | | BOASSON HAGEN Edvald | 99 | 9 | | DEIGNAN Philip | 95 | 4 | | EISEL Bernhard | 85 | 3 | | HENAO Sebastian | 85 | 3 | | KENNAUGH Peter | 95 | 6 | | PUCCIO Salvatore | 99 | 7 | | SIUTSOU Kanstantsin | 99 | 10 | | SWIFT Ben | 90 | 6 |
or order the team in best TT'ing ablity from 12 upwards with 99 effort.
Then i will race your tactic and put it on the first forum and whichever tactic get best result, I will use on Stage 1. Plus all will be done with Team Sky so that it is a fair result. |

Simulate the TTT. The gameplay is fucked no matter what.

Open the stage, take few pictures of main favourites (teams), quit it and just simulate it afterwards. It will give you an opportunity to make a TTT report with simulating the stage.
That's what I am doing all the time when it comes to TTT's and I can say it's pretty successful tactic.

Also i don't care if it's a random tactic that has never been used before please send it in, It gives me something to do from now till Friday.
Start list and Favourites will be done tomorrow as the two Tours have finished. |

Dippofix and Admir - That may happen if i don't get any Tactics but i would rather do it. I would be more proud, and also it could help with further Time Trials. |

Okay, your decision. You'll never manage to win it that way, although you probably have a TTT winning squad there.
Good luck, anyways!

Disappointed you chose Sky when Saxo won that matchup in the voting 5-1.

AdmirSchleck - I know I'll never win I juts hope I at least get top 5 or something
baseballlover312 - It is just for practice because if I were to go with the team with most pick and it changed then I would have to change team all the time and it would make the results unfair because some Teams have better Abilities in Time Trialing. So I will just go Team Sky until Friday. |

Top 5? You would be an expert at this game to not get a bottom 5 in TTTs

I took this from Tips & Tricks it's Dueceone:
I typically pause once my team is on the line, then based on skills adjust the time... Cancellara gets a 0:25 pull most other good TT riders will get a 0:15-0:20 pull and the weak riders will get a 0:05-0:10 pull. Then you adjust the effort slider to the length and profile of the course and unpause the game... If the race starts with a climb and the front rider is a good climber, I'll make his first pull 0:15-0:20 regardless of his TT skills so he can pull the train up the hill to get the team rolling for the TT guys to start doing damage.
From there, just monitor the team... if one of the weaker riders is running low on energy, drop him to the back and take him out of the relay before he runs out of energy so that he'll hang awhile longer on the train. If everyone seems to burning energy too quickly, back off the effort slider... if they dont seem to be working hard, increase the slider. Expect to lose a few riders before the finish, the important thing is the first five riders and, if you're going for the overall GC, keeping your GC in with those riders.
One note for GC... If your GC rider is a weak TT rider, take him out of the relay from the start and just 'click' him back in each time you drop another rider out of the relay for just long enough to let him pull forward with the lead group and always be the first man in line not working... If you're going strictly for GC and don't care about the stage win, don't let your TT guys ride away from your GC guy ever, he'll finish much faster & much fresher getting towed along behind good tt riders going slow than he will on his own. If he's strong enough that you expect he can make up the time in the mountains or weak enough that he doesn't have a real shot, keep him with the lead group as long as you can and then let the best of your group pull away for the stage result.
I have posted the result on the first post. |

kimiopn - Difficulty: Hard, Database: PCM Focus 2014
I need help. I have been doing the Giro to get used to it but having done several stages it keeps on crashing, on stage 4 and then stage 6. I had a look on the PCM Focus thread and it said that it is a corrupt download but i have tried downloading it 3 times but still doesn't work. If anyone knows what is happening please help or i will have to simulate quite a lot of stages. The only other thing i can think of is downloading another Database but i would rather not. |

You play with the Focus DB? I'd really recommend the Daily one, the Focus one has a few rather ridiculous stats.

Dippofix - I don't want to download the Daily one because it is a uTorrent file. I will probably download the Spanish DB or start the race a few days late by downloading the French DB. |
