I dont remember the name of the race but I had K.Kirchen in yellow by a minute or so.. The last stage was 90km and totaly flat. I simmed it, and the result:
- a rider from a team I`ve never heard of won with 5min 31 sec!!
hehe come on!! 5 min on 90km.. He took the yellow with 3min. 
if your leadingt he race then you have to at least chase any breakways, no other teams wont help you |

One day, one of my rider was second one cyclamen jersey, and my goal was to wear it. It was the last stage and I have 50 point back to the leader. I decide to simulate that stage and pass to another objective (win tdf) then, I see that the current leader of the sprint jersey have fell and resing! I have full my goal! The two next year, that same rider fell again and again on the last giro stage, missing each time an opportunity to be on the gc podium!
When Nothing goes rigth, go left...

My GC contenders in the tour have been getting +4, or +5 on flat stages and -2, or -3 in the mountains. |

Giro del Friuli may not be a big race, especially not for a team such as Team Saxo Bank. But I'm in general quite sucky and therefore enjoy every victory a lot. Voigt was set for a close (the peloton did have a small chance of catching him) win after having attacked with 25 km to go.
Then, with 8 km to go, he crashed. My best sprinter was Lucas Haedo - so, needless to say, an almost certain victory turned into nothing.
I hate this game :/ |

Why don't they promote/relegate you based on the CQ Ranking (the third one)
just killed the Vuelta a Espana - 3rd place with Wiggins after a wildcard
effectively simmed through to the end of the season (thinking that would be enough) and there we have it, 4th in the continental ranking and no promotion... despite being the 9th best team overall (according to CQ ranking) |

I'm playing Hamburg classics for a decent result,(PT points, PT classifiication, but not an objective) with no sprinter (I don't have decent sprinter), top man is my best puncheur which is around 20 th best in the ardennes (flat 77, hill 77)
During the stages, my guy discovers he has + 5 legs..
The early breakaway gets reeled in before the last midget hill. (I had one of mine barely hanging on in there.)
I focus back on my top guy who's ready to jump, but I don't want him to jump alone.
And on the last excuse for a hill, valverde goes ... followed by cancellara...followed by a very eager me....
And even if Valverde stops his effort , Cancellara doesn't, he is pulling lke a madman, with my rider just behnd him, his energy steadily dropping, but at a rate slow enough to have something left over for the sprint.. I think
4 Km to go, the bunch is likely beaten (45 sec)
Cancellara still pulling, I'm using the energy gel, still safely behind spartacus....
And the game crashes (not the rider, the whole f... contraption)
There goes my unexpected pt points gain....
I played again, and got 10 th, but still very disappointed by this otherwise honourable result (my rider got + 1 ? + 2 ? form) |

Vuelta '11 - Frank Schleck in first by a minute from AC and Matti Breschel (!) in 9th spot (not through breakaways or anything - mt70,rec81,sta78). Didn't realise there was a MTT.
Schleck 3rd, Breschel 16th overall |

I was leading the tour with Armstrong than cracked on one of the climbs and Contador was able to make up the gap in the GC. Except he tied the excat time as armstrong overall. Then everything was tie. But somehow Contador won the tour. How is it determined in PCM when 2 racers are tied. |

The result of the final stage counts, as far as I remember. |

Well that explains it. the final stage armstrong was 60th and contador was in the 30's. Damn, if only i knew that i would have add armstrong move up. |

Gent-Welvegem (Season goal: win this race) : After hard fight Stijn Devolder (my time rider) was the first right who got over the finish line. I've check this a few times in the replay mode. It was alwasy Stijn who was first. But in the results Pozatto was the winner. damn |

Nooooooo! Playing 2012's years Tour De France (Pcm.daily 2010 db) I lead with Gesink with 30 seconds to A.Schleck and 2 mins to A.Contador after a mountain tt. On the mountain stage to Glacier Mont Lans Schleck dropped with 2 minutes and Gesink finished 2nd behind Contador. But then my screen crashed whithout no reason and the computer restarted. And now can I just play 15 minutes and then the screen crash again so I must fix a new before i can continue  |

I was once playing fleche wallone with saxo bank and there was a break of 18 riders including voigt. voigt was the strongest and it looks like he's gonna win but in the last 200 meters he gets caught by valverde and cunego sprinting for the win. |

As far as I know, the standings in the points competition are the tiebreaker (that's what it is in real life). I haven't had this happen often enough to say for sure, because often the rider who finished higher in the last stage also is ahead in the points competition. |
