hi all, that's my problem, i don't know if somebody else had the same issue, i checked in forum but i've found nothing about that.
so: it's the last day i can choose the riders for world championship, but in the window appears no riders, so i can't select anyone and the carrer don't go on, because i must select someone... the country is poland.
at the pre-selection, i choose riders for wc stage, but forgot to select riders for ITT, and now i have to select the final startlist, but no rider appear in ITT selection... someone had the solution? Sad
My season is going great, if you look away from Mathias Frank who is participating in every race I am competing in (8 in a row, now).
One thing though; how do you reduce the slow-motion time at the finish? When a rider is 3 minutes ahead of the 2nd place rider I do not 20 GOD DAMN SECONDS OF SLOW MOTION!!!!
Which box do I (un)tick, what value do I reduce in the editor, etc.? Seriously, if there's no fix to that I am uninstalling the game right away, I cannot take it anymore.
There is no good reason for making it impossible to speed it up, or simply not making it take less time. The rest of the game is decent enough, but this is a huge dealbraker for me. Worst PCM-feature to this date.

How can I simulate some weeks in pcm 13?
there is a calendar at the bottom of your career page when you are in career mode. you can then go to whatever date you want by using the left/right buttons in the bottom right corner, when you are on the date you want to simulate to, click the date (right click) and then press simulate with/without interruptions.

Wow, that's some bad luck! What are his stats in your game, Rogvi?
I set it up to 80 MO and 78 HIL, because Andy seriously lacks confidence (in my opinion). Frank also has 80 MO and 78 HIL .
But what do you think should have had?
All stats 85
Just kidding
I think 77-77 or 76-76

thank you
I haven't encountered the problem myself, and I am not 100% sure I understand what the problem here is, but if you can't get through the day, I think there is a way of skipping the entire day with an editor.
If you go to the tips and tricks section and find Lachis guide to skipping a day (link in the end of my comment) you can perhaps try that. Please note that the guide was made for PCM2012 and I assume you will have to download his version for the PCM2013, however, as I have never used his editor, nor tried to skip a day, I am completely blind to how this works; I just thought I'd show it to you, so it can be up to you to try it or not.
I'm looking for a little bit of help for planning my season's objectives and schedule for the riders. I'm currently playing as Drapac, a Continental team and I've decided that the sponsor objectives are my number one priority for this year.
What I'm trying to figure out is when you give your riders objectives, is it best to allocate the main races just to the leaders or also to some of the domestiques who will ride in support of them? Or should I give some of the lesser riders objectives where they will act as leaders in the less important races?
Sorry if I didn't explain that very well, a but I did a search on the forum and couldn't find what I was looking for so any help would be much appreciated!

Played career with Tinkoff Saxo with the PCM 14 DB and Springupdate until Giro now. Made some transfers (Rogers, Sutherland, McCarthy, Breschel gone -> Bouhanni, Delage, Tsatevitch, Bak coming in) before the start.
Although some wins all together, a bit bad to have only one win with Contador and especially bad sprint and hilly classic results (not one stage win with Bouhanni, only one Top10 in Ardennes week, no results in mountain stages with Majka although on good form).
Any general gameplay tips in order to save energy? Does it consume more energy to "follow" in a group on 99, then to find the "dot"-value in order to stay in group?
Because although I never attack, the AI riders always seem to be able to attack, whereas my riders are completely done in the end of a hilly/mountain race.
And if just read above, how do you make Thomas win LBL? Had Kreuziger protected all race, never using energy, always staying in front groups (only with dot), but still no chance to get more than a 9th place.

Hi Tinkoff are a great team to play with, i also find to get a few wins early on you should go to races, Froome is not at. For instance if you have targeted Paris Nice, on that race day click on Froome it will tell you if he is racing, if he is do Tirreno instead. I also rarely attack, only on a hilly stage that finshes on a downhill i may attack with 0.4 kms to the top.
Also in a GT, if you're doing the TDF attack on the hilly stages. With Tinkoff, having Kreuziger protect Contador works great because he is a GC rider in his own right. You can do real damage when a good rider like that protects you as he as good downhill aswell. Also i think the 2 top bars for fitness in TDF works well, you should not need top fitness for Vuelta as it is rare to see top guys race it, it does happen though. For MTT, always use 50 on flat part of a MTT, then go for 70 when climb starts, then if it gets flat again drop 50 and so on. You should be able to put 74 climbers in top 10 of a mountain Time trial, they are very easy.
You could be losing time because you're not anticipating the attack quick enough, and if Quintana and Froome have a gap it is very hard to bring back because one of those guys will be getting paced, you will arrive and they will go again. Maybe just before the climb starts go 65 effort just to keep you near front. Most time loss happens because you get blocked by the slower riders near front and it is very difficult then to bridge.
Also to get you're self some nice stage wins. Make riders like CAS and Rioche or whoever lose time on purpose and you will get alot of leeway in the montains. Just sit in with break don't work lol then attack when they stop working. Majka works well as he is mainly better than the breakaway guys. For example my Astana carear im doing, i made Kangert lose 30 minutes early on and he ended up winning 3 stages, KOTM and 12th on GC he gained alot of time back. It is better doing that then riding for 11th with you're 2nd protected rider. As i said Kreuiger be perfect you can make him do Giro on a good peak and bring him to the TDF on 2 fitness he will still be a huge help.
Instead of making new thread i thought id say it here, does anyone know if the Ita NC ITT is a bug it is the Trieste one, i simmed it Nizzolo won and it must be a sprint, no gaps in the whole field.
It exports your result to Excel file. It is really useful for stories (copying, posting results and such). Each results get its separate file and that file can be found under C/Users/Your name/Documents/Pro Cycling Manager 2013/Users/Your name/Export.

What a Giro (played the first 12 stages in one and the rest until now...).
My team isn't really competetive, but I thought "Maybe 1-2 nice sprints with Kruopis, if the form is well." Sponsor want Top-10... Yeah my Sponsor, 6 of 10 goals failed sofar, number 7 is coming
My Team:
Short the highlights:
1st is a TTT, place 21. lost nearly 2 min. It couldn't went better...
2nd stage, hilly, but only one mountain 20km from finish. Nothing happend, not a single attack, so i decided to get the 5 mountain-jersey-points with Elander, who had form +5. On the top i was 30 sec for the peloton, so i used the dot for the last 20km. After the downhill part he was 2min ahead, now the first favs start to chase him, but to late. Stage win, rose jersey, best in mountain and sprint ranking. Whatever would happend next, this Giro was a good one. It was my second win at the world tour, after a sprint stage at Catalunya.
Stage 4 and 5 were flat. Kruopis finished as 3. in sprint and 5. behind 3 guys from a breakaway. On stage 4 i realise how good the other sprinters are. Modolo, Rojas, Sagan and Kittel are in... not not the peloton, that's only the Sky-train... Now i know with train i use for Aidis By the way: Elander collect some points for the mountain-jersey, step by step...
8th stage right train, form +5 and here is the stage win from Kruopis, but it was sooo close against kittel. Lucky me
10th stage the crazy one. hilly stage with an hill around 5km away from finish, but the street uphill and downhill is really tight, only the last km is normal. Result: 5th with Samardzic, 6th with Czajkowski and 9th with Brajkovic. Nice for Samardzic: His first entry for his palmares and even a world-tour-point
11th stage first uphill finish and brajkovic is 3th in stage and in the top 10 in CG
On stage 13 another breakaway-win on a flat stage... but Kruopis beat the sky superiotity. Unfortunaley beats Nizzolo him, 4th is ok.
14th stage heavy mountain stage and elander wants his blue jersey back from jeremy roy. 8-rider-group with 15min gap... Elander was 7th and get 17 points. Now he has 31, roy with 20 on 2nd place.
On stage 15 roy goes for glory and "steal" the jersey 34 roy, 31 elander. Stages 16 and 17 are both mountain stages. i chose stage 17 to try the next attack for blue.
17th stage elander in the 9-rider-breakaway. again a big gap to the favs. At the last but one mountain Sella attack and elander went along. The italian is to good at these day, but the rest of the group is ko. With dot 55 Elander can take second place on the last 2 mountains and the stage. In GC Elander is now on 17th. Mountain Points: 14+31 against 0+34...
stage 18 is mountain time trial and 19 is flat so for elander is only stage 20 interisting. Before this stage Brajkovic is 10th (from 8th to 14th everything is possible.
stage 20 to bromio. the only stage with an HC-Mountain. Elander with 45 points, max. 48 points to get today, so breakaway for elander and that should go for me...
That's so... argh.
Elander first on both 2nd cat. mountains and second at the 3rd cat. Atapuma comes with two other riders at the HC-Mountain, 1km away from the mountain sprint he arrives and goes straight ahead. I have no idea why his companions stay at my group... Atapuma can easily go for the win and takes the 35 points. Bitter, every fav could get these 35 points and elander wins the jersey, yeah every fav but not atapuma.
And as if this wasn't enough...
bye bye top 10, 7 of 11 fails...
I load the the stage, say to myself, that 2 stage wins, several good results and a nice fight with a young talented rider for the blue jersey are much more than expected. Then i see - thanks to my old, slow computer^^ - there is a mountain sprint and the winner get 3 points. Elander isn't fresh after the fight on stage 20, but who cares. That is a chance and who knows if he will get another chance to win a jersey in a GT in his life.
The second place by Kruopis in this stage put the cherry on the cake.
What an awesome Giro: top 5 places by 4 riders, only vitolins didn't see milan, few days in rose, 2 stage wins, 11th with brajkovic and 20th with elander and the mountain jersey.
Nearly 100 world-tour-points just form giro (relegation shouldn't be a topic in this season) and the sponsor is fully happy with 7 fails (and 10th in tour and vuelta will be the next ones...).
