Yes, and actually, funny enough I like the game for doing that. because you can actually see that happening when somebody picks a wrong wheel in reallife and the end up in the second group and use too much energy to get back to the front again.
I too get frustrtated by it, when it happens to me, but being 2th place with only 1 second between is absolutatlly a good (and 3th and 8th in a HC stage race!)... so job well done.
I agree that blocking is annoying, but you can't ride through riders in real life. Although it's frustrating that the riders are too dumb to pick a good line to go past other riders.
2nd overall is still great, only losing with 1 second, but Acevedo was obviously stronger here. Our riders clearly suffered from lower REC.
Thanks guys. It is indeed a good thing that we lost for once. It's just in the heat of the moment, it's very easy to overreact like I did . Acevedo is just a better rider, simple as that. For now
Don't worry The Rider, Waldo is ready to go in Ireland. With the cobbles out of the way, as you say, he'll be looking to test his other skills, starting with the tough roads in Ireland.
Thanks bennettWPS, Marc deserved 2 points, no doubt. He was up there every day, like a young Peter Sagan (even though Sagan is younger than him )
Seems like PCM has been trolling the team lately with 2nd and 3rd place finishes. But we don't want do win everything, do we?
Stat upgrade:
+1 HIL

Shame about AToC! 1 second is so close but you will learn from it just try to position the main men better next time. I never hold position on a major climb. I always dot and adjust to hold position at the front. That way, there is less likely to have people causing blockages when trying to come forward. Maybe you could have worked for Yamada more once Acevado went instead of holding him back for Rodriguez (just a thought whilst watching )
did find it funny and a little ironic that you complain about the blocking for Rodriguez and then Cassidy in the sprint but hopes Gibson blocked rivals after doing his turn in the lead out...
If Natural Progression occurs every month or so with different age groups, wouldn't that mean that they progress at the same rate?

I think what he's doing is that 18-20 yo progress every 2 months, 21-22 every 3 months, 23-24 every 4 months or something similar.
So now it looks like there's a different group every month, but it will eventually give the younger riders much more progression.
That 1 second was harsh indeed. Judging from your fury during recording the rider that blocked Rodriguez is now Bunzl's official arch-enemy
Must be Yamada's second spring with all the stat upgrades in May MO+1 please

@547984, thanks for the upgrade. Oh, and the 2nd and 3rd place thing gets worse in the next video .
And as kyanto said, natural progression is not just as simple as a different age group every month. The youngest guys have already had 2 whereas the oldest age group haven't had one yet. You should pay more attention .
@bennettWPS, if there's enough interest I may do a video just reviewing the team. Maybe before the NC's. And Marc can be called whatever he wants, as long as he keeps performing like this.
@the_hoyle, I usually do self effort up final climbs but the problem was Acevedo attacked at the very bottom and then the pace shot up to ridiculous speeds and to stay at the front Rodriguez would have had to have been on at least 95 effort. So I was trying to save a bit of energy by sitting a bit further back and waiting for the pace to drop but of course it didn't because the AI can ride at 99 effort for about 5km
And as for the blocking in the sprint, that's extremely tongue in cheek, I'm not actually expecting them to .
But we don't want do win everything, do we?
