2 questions:
1) Why a football T-shirt? Pfft
2) Which DB do you use?

Ooh, and happy to see cav again winning Grin

1) I am wearing a Chivas MX jersey, because this was recorded the day of Mexico vs Netherlands Pfft (I am a huge Mexico fan)
2) It's a self-edited version of the Focus Realname.

He is doing what Kittel is doing in reallife Shock

I don't normally follow these stories that much, but have to say that yours is one of the best I've seen and so professional with the presentation of each stage etc. It amazes me how you don't make any mistakes with your commentary.

Also which DB are you using?

Glad I caught your attention. Thanks for the nice compliment, yet I feel like I can do a lot better Pfft.

I am using a self edited version of the Focus Realname database.

I hate to say this, but the real stage was even beter, I think Wink

That's the reason of this series. I can still support Cavendish and you can cheer for Contador Wink

Is that a new bug or why is Sagan always 2nd? :lol:

If it's a bug, it's rather realistic Pfft Sagan hasn't won a stage yet IRL.

Another great stage by you and glad to finally see Kittel take a stage, here's hoping that Greipel will win one too.

Now here's a question I think interesting for you, as it's something I'm still observing in my own sprint stages of the Giro and yet to reach a firm conclusion especially since I don't have the really big sprinters in the race.

Do you think for the computer controlled teams to win the sprint stages, that it's best to have:

1) a dedicated train and lead-out man like Renshaw for Cavendish at Omega?
2) a dedicated train and actual sprinter like Degenkolb for Kittel at Argos?
3) or no train but an actual sprinter like Viviani for Sagan?
4) or no train, no lead-out or no sprinter of quality say for Demare at FDJ ?

Now I don't know what your startlist is like or if it's the same as the actual TdF, but it makes an interesting observation for a geek like me in these things!

This is recorded with the official startlist, only one thing is wrong and that is Matthews.

Well if we take a look at who has been the most successful, then 1) would be the correct answer. I have done my fair share of testing the AI, and it always seem that, when you have multiple top sprinters helping each other it just doesn't work.

(Check my MLC Vuelta show) This one guy had Cavendish, Greipel and Kittel, yet they didn't win a single sprint stage. Where as Sagan would win left and right with a mediocre lead-out man.

Strange sprint at the end. Don't know if Greipel's move was stupid or smart, I guess stupid because Roelandts didn't win.

What do you use to edit, it's very well done. Congratulations.

I use Sony Vegas to put it all together. The small graphical stuff, like breakaway and sprints are made in Photoshop. Thank you for the nice words Smile
