ok, i have finnally grasped about every concepte of the game, and figured most of it out with the help of you guys, but i cant seem to put a sprint train together, can somone give me step by step instructions,. thanks.
the way I do it is simple, and can usually win every sprint if the sprinter is good enough. in my case i use Flecha as a wheelman for Boasson Hagen. the imporant thing is to have a fast wheelman (doesn't need acceleration or sprint) and a good sprinter (duh).
This is what is done.
Let Flecha protect Boasson (using the protection panel) and position myself right behind the leading train using nothing but the 'keep position'-button on Boasson (like 10-12th place) with 10km to go.
at around 5.5km, let Boasson have his candy bar and put him to individual effort at no more than 83-84 pct, or howver much you need (don't push it higher or he'll use the red energy bar he needs to be full later), until he ideally advances to the front of the train with 2-2.5km to go, Flecha will take the beating until then you hit the sprint button with Boasson and his candy bar wears out just as he passes the line. win every time.
make your own train if you have the team for it. You need 2 or 3 guys with good flatskills. and 1 guy who has a good sprint and acc but not super. And one main sprinter. When its possible to use ste =>S button. at around 12 km start making your train. Possition your flatguys from the lowest flatskill to the highest. Make the one with the lowest flatskill drive at own tempo 99 let him eat his gelbar. When his redbar is running out (almost emty) make the second rider go at 99 own tempo and let him eat his bar. so for the 3de guy. Now your at about 4 km. at 3 km its possible to sprint make your guy before the sprinter do his sprint(at 99) when the main sprinters like hagen , cav or someone like that is closing in or next to your main sprinter let him sprint at 99 effort and this will get you pretty close to a victory.
