Hmm, did I forgot to pay the wages and did my team go on strike?
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Stage 3: Indicatore - Terni
This really should be one for the sprinters, but will anyone chase the break down today?
With 100 km to go 13 riders have just over three minutes to the peloton. They are: Malori, Elmiger, Janse Van Rensburg, Callegarin, Puccio, Van Winden, Ratto, Mortensen, Traksel, House, Bagdonas, Barry and Hepburn.
Things are relatively calm in the peloton where Caterham has taken the front. With 70 km to go the break holds 6 minutes.
Just as Martin Mortensen wins the breaks sprint for the second intermediate Hesjedal crashes in the peloton and quickly loses 2'30'' to the peloton with A. Roche and Lacombe coming down to help him.
None of the breakers can take the mountain jersey today, but they sprint for it nonetheless with Elmiger taking the win.
Still just over five minutes gap with 56 km to go while Hesjedal still haven't gained much time on the peloton.
25 km to go. Globant, ITV and SGL have pulled the gap down to just under two minutes.
A late attack could still win the stage for one of the breakaway riders.
No attacks from the break yet when David Millar decides to have a go from the peloton with 12 km to the line.
Millar gets up to the break and with 7 km left the 14 rides in front have 43 seconds to Navarro/Grabsch and a further 33 seconds to the peloton.
4 km and 32 seconds from the 14 to the CCC-duo and almost a further minute to the peloton. Looks like the break might actuallty make it!
Callegarin opens the sprint early with Bagdonas placed perfectly in 3rd position as one of the strongest sprinters in the group.
The Lithuanian opens his sprint already with 2,5 km to go. With fast guys like Janse van Rensburg and Mortensen in his wheel that is probably a bit early...
1,5 km. No one has passed the Lithuanian yet.
Last 800 m it's Janse van Rensburg, Mortensen and Traksel side by side.
No one gets even close to threatening the Dutchman today!

This sucks. Why is nobody properly chasing the break?

What, another breakaway win?
Not to offend Atlantius, but this is exactly what happened in Algarve. Is there maybe something wrong with his PCM options that gives breakaways a higher success rating?

In this race I think it's mainly because there's only really one team focused on sprints - and thay are majorly overpowered compared to the others with 1 or two decent sprinters. SGL - Magix are just too strong a sprinter-team for anyone to help them (as we have seen some times IRL with HTC and Cavendish). And without having checked it properly I think SGL might fall back a bit because Kittel has a hard time on the hills?
I have no problems in general in races where there's plenty of sprinters teams chasing the flat stages.
Edit: That and 14 teams with riders in the break...

Well done by Ratto and Malori  Finally a good result again.
Seems like PCM 11 is bugged in a different way than PCM 12  |

13 teams in the break was never going to be chased that hard...
Make sure Multiplayer Passive AI is unticked, and turn the difficulty up to extreme
But yay for two top10s

Why to extreme I thought normal would be the best because stats are as they are in the db and not times something? |

This has been a really depressing race, Are we sure that racing them on PCM11 is a good idea? The teams other than the player controlled squad seem much more passive on 11 than 12

That's true. Ha, and some people call PCM 12 unplayable because of horrible bugs
But I guess we'll have to live with it.
@Others:
Difficulty shouldn't have a proper impact on gameplay when you're a control team.

I thought it would have as the game is not getting more difficult but the riders get their stats times something -> a weaker rider wouldn't get as much a boost as a better rider |
