What can i do? its not a problem with the riders form.
I've tried it as well.
Seems really weird. Don't quite get it either. |

Properly not... haven't thought about the different.
just a side question, if i put a team-mate to "catch this rider", will he just reel in that rider with all he got to help his team-leader, or will he go with the attack group? |

No, its follow attack.
but what exactly do 'catch this rider' and 'wait for this rider' do? |

Did somebody try to delete all the rider's objectives for adding news objectives in PCM 2014 ?
I remember it was very difficult (almost impossible !) to keep everybody happy in PCM 2013. |

Ok. Is it a problem if the riders dont´t get satisfaction when you change their objectives ? |

I cant win any sprints with Cav in TDF...Play with OPQS in tour de france on hard difficulty, and with 5km left I put Tony Martin on dot 99, but the giant train just fly past him, what else can I do?... If Tony Martin with full energy, +2daily form and 1 on fitness cant keep up with Mezgec when I have dot 99 than I dont understand how my train can go any faster...

Wasn`t there a button to abandon riders before the stage starts in this edition?
I remember to have seen it when I first tested it but can`t find it right now after really started a career.

The sponsors will make an offer to you from the be beginning of September until you accept an offer - your existing sponsors can then make a offer of renewal.

After just reaching the Tour de San Luis in the first week after release I now finished the Tour Down Under and must say, that I like the gameplay so far. (At least when having the sprinter on free role this is )
Was riding with Geschke as leader and Mezgec as sprinter. Won the first stage with him on hard and then changed to extreme as Geschke was 3rd.
Then had some problems on the 2nd stage due to water issues as my leaders were too weak and my leaders had to get bottles on their own.
Then some top10`s on the following stages but had to learn how to sprint properly.
Willunga Hill Geschke had a nice day finishing in a group of 3 as 2nd behind Kirienka, which delivered him the 3rd GC spot as Lastras and Roulston finished 1'30 down but were in a successful break on an earlier stage.
Mezgec then won the last stage after a very fast criterium race with a few millimeters only ahead of Bennati and also just a bit ahead of the breakaway which made it onto the final kilometer.
In general it was a nice race. But I have some contra`s as well.
Almost on every stage I had one rider on automatic and asked him to attack. Except for one mid stage attack nobody even tried and no attempt for the morning break. Even when a rider was in the first row at the start, he just went backwards to the middle of the peloton instead of attacking. So this probably has to be done manually if you really want into the breakaway.
Also getting bottles seems to be too hard sometimes. With 50km to go on a pretty even route with just a very few hills, it should be easier for a high flat, decent hill rider to bring you some bottles.
And obviously the sprint issue should be fixed even though setting him on free role also solves the problem.
Last but not least the sprinter field in the Tour Down Under is a joke though.
No top sprinters and so Mezgec had to battle with mainly Richeze (2 wins), Debuschere, Bennati etc.
Also the top puncheurs (Valverde, Gerrans etc) weren`t participating.
So the top favourites had like 75-76 hill.
