Raced a few more today.
Got 2nd at the Tour of Szekerland(epic race with a MTTT & a MTT). A break stayed away at the mountain stage, including a LKT rider. An attack by Minnaard(62MO) got away, but I couldn't get it back with my 66MO guy, I reacted too late. Gap got smaller and smaller & smaller, but in the end, he was 20 seconds ahead of me at the finish. Also, his team was stronger at the MTTT, and I couldn't get enough time back at the MTT.
Also, I got 4th at Valle D'Aosta. Just the consistency trick again, always finishing Top 8 brings you a nice 4th place 
I'm in a big doubt now though. The German that got 2nd at Ronde de L'Isard is still free. And a look at the ending 2014 German contracts learns that there aren't a lot of climbers available to sign next season. Hmm... Allright, if he wins an Avenir stage or Top 3 GC, I sign him. I think.
I'm just afraid that he signs with a big WT team until 2016, and I can't get him for a long time, and it turns out he is a future TdF winner. Argh.
Only have some Asian races left, think I'll simulate them, can't wait for the new season.

personally I'd scout him (if possible) until L'avenir and if he's still free then and either performs well or gets a good report from teh scout then I'd sign him up, or if I didn't think I'd get anyone much better the next season then just sign him up straight away.

I fired my scout when I signed the 2 regens earlier this season, so I could save money.
Well, I aim for the next German TdF winner, so this guy could be vital in that goal. But I already saw my squad as complete and my squad is getting a bit big.
You know what? I just sign him. Whatever.
Thanks, at least I don't have to hestitate anymore

Done with April with NetApp. Need to hurry as I need to beat Jesleyh to a German GT Winner. Here are the results from April:
Paris - Camembert Le Petit
10th Voss
De Brabantse Pijl
14th Kluge
Giro del Trentino
2nd König Stage 1
10th König Stage 3
2nd Huzarski Stage 4, 10th König
5th König Stage 5
8th König on GC
Presidential Cycling Tour of Turkey
5th Kluge Stage 1
3rd Kluge Stage 2, 7th Jarc
5th De La Cruz Stage 3, Voss 6th
3rd Schillinger Stage 4, 7th Voss, 9th De La Cruz
4th Kluge Stage 7
At the end of the month, Huzarski went down to 6th in Individual CT Rankings while in Team Rankings we're in 2nd. In terms of CQ Ranking we're 18th, 2nd in terms of CT teams, behind Europcar. Still, with probably only 1 WT race in the calendar, promotion is still very difficult. |

I'd worry more about Cio. He already has Herklotz, which always develops in a beast, and seems to develop into a stage-racer in his game
And don't forget to enjoy your game on the way
And you have the whole next week to progress, while I don't

It is indeed. One of the few mountainious 2.2 stage races in the Daily DB, but obviously not so rare in FCD.
I guess you mean Off. Release DB. Daily's RN DB only adds NC races, thus the races list is the Official's Release one

Lol wtf did you do to the young rider files, Cyanide?
With Cyanide files, it's nearly impossible to have a rider like that. Since he's in a team list, I assume he was generated in 2013 (thus starting as a 19 year old). Assuming he'd be a pot 8 time trial rider, the maximum MO/SPR/ACC he would start with would be 66 (and it's a freaking 0,0125% of chance he'd start with 64~66 in these three). The maximum HIL, COB, END, REC would be 67~69. The chance for having such a value for HIL/COB together is 0,25%, and for END/REC, 0,04%.
Therefore, the chance that such a rider appears with Cyanide young rider files (in the way described above)? 0,0000000125% Oh, and that not to mention that he'd have to have an absurd progression of up to 7 points in several of these stats, half of which don't even have bonus in training, in the short period of a year.
I think a much more plausible explanation is that somehow you've replaced your young rider files by some really messed up ones

@Lluuiiggii Those are probably FCD XML files, they for sure have others than original Cyanide(Haven't seen a 75+ guy yet, which the Cyanide one does produce)
But didn't spot a Merckx guy yet, like Cio's one.

Okay, he's not yet a Merckx, but he's a Boasson Hagen, maybe
Edit:
No, I don't have mine yet, so haven't checked him. But I believe he was a future great when I clicked on scout when starting my career

FCD files have made it so that a potential 8 ITT rider has the chance to be good at everything i think. Haven't checked the files properly yet tho |

You mean it's impossible to get a Sagan or Quintana? How's that bad for Cyanide's files?
And to be fair on Cya files (I'm checking MO stat for climbers, I assume it's similar for the other specializations/their main stats): it's only possible to have a 75+ guy if he starts being 20 or 21 years old, and the chance for such, if he'd be a potential 8, would be 2% and 4,6%, respectively, and, if he'd be a potential 7, 0% and 0,6%, respectively.
The problem with Cya files is rather linked to too big chances for good riders in the DB (Off. Release, in this case), and too great starting stats for young riders (when you compare stats x chance, not just the stat value itself). It's not unrealistic if you have a 75 MO rider with 21 years old (as long as it's two or three in a decade - the problem was mainly in the combination of Cya's young rider files and Cya's .cdb). However it's quite unrealistic to have a 20 year old with 70+ on literally every stat, as cio posted.

The scale is different though. If you got a 73/74 rider with the FCD he'd be able to win a fair amount of stuff in his first year, I reckon, atleast for CT/PCT.
Edit: What Im saying is a 73 is close to what a 75 rider would be in PCMdaily or Official release for example.
And looking in a db, there are definitely riders on 73.

Well, guess that's personal preference
If a 75MO 20 year old appears in season 1, I'm sure we'd have heard of him, which we don't, since he doesn't exist.
It all depends on how you look at it
But I see your points. Though I haven't experienced what Cio has yet. And whatever, Hagen & Gallopin exist as well
& what Valv said

I understand what you mean. But, to be honest, this makes cio's rider even more unrealistic Think of a rider in the other DBs with, literally, a minimum of 72~73 in every single stat!

I believe he had all his stats at least 71+ at a certain moment

Oh yeah. I never think of him, which is perhaps my mistake.
