Really unlucky in Alentejo, it seems we just came up against some very in form racers. That shouldn't take anything away from the guys though who performed very well. Kelly, Da Silva and special mention to Bennett who was awesome throughout.
Certainly a case of close but no cigar on this one though!
Bit of a strange one in France, really would have thought Schroder would win that but never mind. 2nd and 3rd in a clearly glitchy race will do nicely!
I was just about to say that the results are a bit more realistic now, but then I realized...
A guy with 57 MO and 61 HIL won dat stage. Shame on you, PCM 13!

Despite no wins, the team did well in Portugal! We can't win them all.
By the way, I have noticed that you seemed to get very angry with the game so easily... The game is very buggy, that is well documented (like the sprint bug / AI stops chasing / break is too powerful etc etc) so try relax a bit more Also, you seem to expect orders to be carried out instantly. Give the riders time to organise themselves. I have realised that from past pcm games, if you give the rider to many orders in quick succession (like telling them to follow different riders one after another in a sprint) they seem to revolt and not do what you say. Maybe just keep that in mind I'm not critising you, and I am loving the story (delighted to be part of it as well ), so please do not take what I am saying personally. It is just a little tip
@rider: how does someone lose points? By being bad at a certain role / not performing, or due to age?

@547984, best to just move on from that race hey?!
@knockout, HIL +1. Don't worry about the development, you improve your rider as you want to. Schroder will take quite a while to get another performance point and when he does, you won't be able to use it on HIL anyway. That's the point of this system, so you don't become 85 in one skill by the end of the first season.
@owen, well, seeing as Schroder and Meek are completely different riders, I don't see what relevance his stat gain has on your leadership potential! Just pick what type of rider you want to become and who knows what could happen!
@The Rider, I don't think so, it would be quite unfair. Maybe once Waldo gets a bit older, he might start declining! Though, I am thinking about having a "point transfer window" later in the season where, if you want, you can move a certain amount of points around to change the type of rider you are.
And van Maxfield may just have a surprise for you...?
@ The Hoyle Yeah I was just a bit weary because a lot of guys have improved quite a lot already, but Brewers seems to keep implementing point controls so riders don't become too epic too quickly.
Maybe a rider loses one point in a stat if he gets injured? But not Van Maxfield! kidding!
Great 1 - 2, Gibson put in a massive pull didn't he?

Thanks jaxika, I'm trying to give everyone races that suit them when they are at their peak but it's very difficult. I'm sure I will miss something but hopefully everybody is happy with their schedule.
@547984, Gibson is a very talented rider indeed . Hopefully, he can keep doing his job for the team and then he might get a chance to go for some individual success.
@mvhoogdalem, well not quite, otherwise there would have been one today . The next one is in mid-April so the system isn't particularly confusing. I just need to make sure that the younger riders develop quicker than the older guys. Obviously, the next age group has about 15 riders in it so it will be one hell of a busy one .
I think Van Maxfield deserves a ...what a way to return to the team! Unlucky Hashir...didn't get a chance to compete that final sprint.
Gombocz dominates the sprint, sheer power from the Hungarian! Da Silva looks good to, great addition to the team so far...and a big pat on the back to Gibson! The best lead out man in the world (well perhaps not but could well be in the future)
@owen10ozzy, van Maxfield likes bananas (that's what I heard anyway ). I second your comment on Gibson. Obviously, it depends on how he wants to develop but he could become a very good leadout man indeed.
Doubt there will be a video today. Might make Sunday a regular rest day .
