Its just fucking frustaiting that fast almost everytime u send a helper to bring water he decides to dropout. And if u decide to wach out that he doesnt dropout then the computer decides to attack in the front. I lost already 100 races because of this. U have to be like a babysiter. |

If you do it correctly, then the water carrier does not drop back.
Most important things:
Only use fit cyclists to get water.
Send them getting water 25km before the climb starts or when they descend.
In flat stages, send them getting water 40km before the finish line (before the peloton is riding at full speed to catch the break away).

Well it did it. PCM 10 killed my laptop. I know, I know I should be running this on a desktop but I don't have one. Once I downloaded it it's not like I could just stop playing! Well now I'm sad and down one laptop (graphics card died). Next thing to do, desktop and pcm 11 or should I just wait for 12?
Strava Or it didn't happen: Strava.com/athletes/mannuel

35 km before the finish line in a mountain and i send a helper to bring some water. He gives everyone water but my 2 leaders. I lost the Giro because of this. I end the Diro in 5 and 6 place because of this MF. I wanted to kill myself!!!!!!!!!! |

When you have been protecting your leader for the whole day, and he is on full fitness, the best climber, and with +3, yet, attacking on the final hill to take the stage, he somehow can't even accelerate, and in fact starts sliding backwards even though he is meant to be attacking....
FML.

Especially not so close before the finish line when the best riders start to accelerate.
This is the most important rule of PCM:
No matter how much water your riders have, you must send one rider to get water before the last climb. (around 25km before the climb starts)
If you forgot to get water before the climb, there are some ways to still get water.
1. Attack with one of your mountain riders or make him force the speed. The AI riders will have to accelerate and the peloton will get smaller. If the peloton is small enough, it is easier to get water.
2. If point one failed, like in your situation, wait until your two leaders are in a small group, then send one of them to get water.
3. An "unfair" approach would be to make an attack with both leaders on a short downhill or flat. As soon as they have a small gap, make one of the getting water. Then wait for the AI riders to come up to your two riders.
4. If everything failed, then wait until the very last meter but you must get them water, even if they drop back a little.
But don't be sad, even the Pro cyclists sometimes forget to eat. |

Did you click the sprint button or did he just win while following another sprinter?
Also there might be an error in the stage where the finish line is not the real finish.
But does it really matter? I mean, you know that you won, and normally your career will not bust because of 10 points or so...
If you desperately need the points to win the sprinter jersey, then you could fix the results in the save. |

I just play a Mountain Stage 2 times. The first time i played it, a cyclist from my team had -5 on fitness and came with the last group of after 1:04 hours and the hole group from 14 cyclist were kicked out. Then i payed again the same stage and the last gruop from 19 cyclist came after 1:15 hours and all of them were allowed to ride the next stage. WTF???????? |

The time limit is calculated with the time of the leader. You're only allowed to be a certain percentage slower. So on the second stage, the leader needed more time than on the first, therefore, the last riders had more time to finish.

Or he want faster and the % of the cut time was bigger.. but I'd be surprised if they had such a thing in PCM. We don't even know how hard we need to pace in order to not get eliminated in a stage.

The Computer is just mentally retarded in some TT in 3D modus. I dont know how computer do the TT´s but i cant be that before the TT starts u can see who the favorites for the TT are, and u are not in the top 8, and at the end in 3D modus u just beat Tony Martin with a rider who only has 72 in TT and manage to take a gap from 5 Minutes on Rujano in a Hilly TT. Then I did detailed simulation and everything happend just like in the predictions. I thought it was because i had fitness 96 but Rujano had 95 and Tony martin 92. WTF?
I cant also understand how computer do TTT. With 99 efort in the first check point u are 20 seconds behind and in the end u win??? Its too easy. |
