Actually, I have to agree with Avin on this one. PCM13 AI is making these games less enjoyable. Earlier this week in EPIC, we had this race where Contador and Mollema lost over 7 minutes on the final climb.

A surprise once in a while is nice, but if it is a very imporatant race for you and the AI messes up bigtime, it's just lame, so I can understand the frustration.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

100% agree to what tsmoha said.
Not really defending PCM here. Lots of frustration with 13. Same with former editions.
The break hanging for too long is such an obvious issue But it's known I don't mention it every time.
Ignatiev could have done better sure. But those riders ahead except for the break is not totally unrealistic.on another day could have been better but also worse.
I though feel your frustration as you might got hit a lot this season. But in the end I predict Ignatiev to be a very valuable scorer for you. |

Yap, but that's not the case here. Dowsett got f***d at TDU iirc, others had more bad luck with the AI as well. Well, i wanted to stop repeating, so I do

Dont have a clue how the guys in top 10 are in TT just hope Hermans can climb a bit but Í`m afraid riders behind him will beat him also... |

Well, those four escapees and Bilbao are pretty bad TTlers, but yeah, some strong TTlers in the group where Hermans finished. Report will be online soon, btw

I Always look higher up in the GC first, and yes I did find some guys he probably will beat in a TT after that I looked down in the GC and too bad I found guys that will beat him 
Nice! |

Velits 19th is not too bad 
Nor is Firsanov in the top-20 of the GC.

Ignatiev is beatable in a TT?  
Strange race this, but another Venchi win is typical. I thought my season start was good |

Is Ignatiev injured? I know this could happen on a very bad daily form, but still.
Superb rides by Nepom and Kangert though.

Yes Warbasse into the young riders jersey I think i called a points scoring performance from him before the race and Durasek in the top 10 as well is great riding from the team. |

Even this is just shit... I mean Konovalovas could do better, but the real thing concerning me is Kononenko, who was way behind Vaitkus and just faster than Topchanyuk, which is just wrong, no matter what...
Greipel to win the final stage please, so I can have at least some fun here...

Man that was a bad TT from us!
Seems like the Hill-ratio was much higher than I expected, so I brought some riders here that could've been better used in another race. Oh well, two top 50's still gives a couple of points.
((EDIT: Jinx alert: Both is definitively going to crash tomorrow ))

Guess those hills were a huge factor here, looking at how bad Rogers did. Also Craven with the yellow-bonus and Nepom with great daily form, same goes for Kangert as the better puncheur as well.
Tough one for Avin, as well as for me 6th ain't bad for Koren though. Had hoped for more, but he missed it in the hilly stage. Won't complain, could have went worse after sitting up in that stage

Grabovski taking 9th is certainly not bad, as this was a race i didn't have any real expectations from anyways, so i'll take everything i can get.

Some unexpected results there on the key stages. There's no such thing as a guaranteed win in PCM. Sometimes this season it almost seems like a disadvantage to be the favourite!

Great race for Gerdmann. The top3 seems secure unless a disaster happens. This exceeds my wildest expectations for this race and the team can win here a good amount of points.

Wow, Nepo flying!
Decent job by Westra. 7th in GC would be an ok result.
