Hej, then I race the play the races by my self, all my riders run out of the red and yellow energy - even if they don't make any work and are in a good shape.
non of them can follow with the peloton, on flat hills even downhill the have troubles
also riders who are 78 in the hills, drop of the peloton, with still 50 riders back
thanks for the help (: |

Do you know how to play this game? If not, have you read the manual?
There are some possibilities why all riders can loose all their energy:
1. They are riding in the wind all the time > get them back into the peloton
2. They have a weak fitness > Select appropriate training schedule or make an individual one
3. They run out of food. (name flashes blue, then red) > Use a cyclist to get food before it is empty
4. Difficulity is set to high for your skills > Reduce difficulty
5. If everything above does not apply > Use the "dot" when riding uphill

it means keep position in the pack.
@Lachi the amount of people who actually read the manual before playing is very low
prevent hangovers --> stay drunk

Which makes the fact that you're wrong deliciously ironic

If you look at the buttons on the 3D interface, you'll see that the "Ride at your own pace" command has a button with an drawing that looks like a single dot.
So people tend to refer to it as "the dot" instead of "The 'ride at your own pace' command", because it's shorter.

my riders are in the middle of the peloton;
they are around 85 in the training thing;
they have food;
and they just keep their posostion and then run out of energy, in the middle of the peloton on flat road.
and it doesn't make any difference if they feel good or bad on the day.
and I know how to play pcm, in 06 i won paris-roubaix 15 times in a row - not that much changed since then |

Are you playing a career or single race? If in a career try the single race and select one of the top teams and check if it happens there too. |

change to easy, stay back in peleton(watch out for wind). and then take your leadout riders and your sprinter opp when it just 20km to go. |

Did that and chose a better team - and had every riders with the peloton to the line.
