I like cobbled races in PCM 2006: realistic riding on cobblestones and realistic results. Omloop is for Big George this time Smile

Yeah, clicking the image works fine for me. And I do not see it as a problem.

I don't think having to click on the image to read it is any problem either. I like the look of it Smile

The craziest thing about this story is that Francisco Mancebo is your veteran leader in 2006, but he's still riding now. Pfft

As Davide Rebellin too! Mancebo is 45, Rebellin is 49 y.o. and both are still active Smile This is true love for cycling.

@ All - Thanks for responding about the image. I think I might play around with a few more designs, but I really appreciate the feedback so far.

@ Markene - Thanks

@ Tomcat & baseball - Indeed, I think he still gets pretty decent results in Japan. I dont think he's even raced at top level since 2008 or earlier but to still be riding is amazing.

Predictable results. We don't wait anything in cobbled & hilly classics from AG2R, but maybe stage win in Paris-Nice for a start Smile

Tough start for AG2R with 31 and 41 in the first 2 races. I am certain you'll build up from this.

I clearly remember Manuel (the Cat) Medina and Jose Chacon in PPDB Giant 2005 Database and Oscar Sevilla - he does not need to introduce him.

Found them browsing results of Vuelta al Tachira 2021 Smile

Thanks guys. Its been a tough start so far, but I promise things get better soon.

Jose Chacon was a legend in PPDB.

Also, sorry about the slow updates recently, my girlfriend and I have both had graduation ceremonies, and I've been looking for a career now. I was interviewed by a former professional cyclist the other day, which has got to be about the last thing I was expecting, being from Canada.

Due to some peculiar weather, and perhaps many of the top riders playing it safe with their bike and gear choices, Riblon of AG2R was able to save his energy for the final climb in the open stage of Paris - Nice to take an upset win.

Bernhard Eisel makes in two wins in a row for French teams, as he upsets some of the big name sprinters like Kirsipuu and Boonen.

Di Luca takes the win and the leaders jersey after a tense battle. The weather surely played a part in the festivities, but Valverde couldn't outsprint the Killer.

Valverde takes the leaders jersey back as he outsprints the reduced group up the final hill. He's nearly unbeatable in these situations.

Another day for the sprinters, and Sacchi takes the win for Team Milram.

Carl Naibo of AG2R narrowly hangs on from the break to take a massive win for his team, just narrowly edging out Tom Boonen.

Down nearly 11 minutes in the GC, Ivan Basso consolidates his race with a breakaway victory on the final day in Nice.

Haha, you were right. The TT was just weirdly played by the AI. I guess they ride a consistent pace, but I went hard on the climb and then knew I wouldnt burn as much for the descent. The other was a nice breakaway win, which worked out really well I think, compared to 2021 AI.

Nice of you to post here! Welcome.

I am really enjoying it all, and I miss the names of this era. The music is definitely better from 06-08 than in the newest games too.

I noticed AI is perfect on flat TT, but there're some issues on hilly and mountain ones from PCM 2006 to PCM 2020 (didn't play PCM 2021 yet). For example I played for Polish DHL Author (very weak team) in PCM 2010 and I won many hilly TT with those guys...

P.S. And yes - I also went hard on climbs didn't spending much on later downhills. AI just can't count so.

Congratulations on the stage victories! It was also good to see Basso winning a stage, although he was so far behind in the GC. Smile
