Ok i haven't played this game a lot however i have played it enough to know breakaways don't often work and if they do they only get a couple of minutes lead on the peleton, the most i've seen is 7 minutes on a hilly stage in the middle of tdf which kinda makes sense.
However today i was playing my career and started the stage race "vuelta a andalucia" (i think its called that?) anyway the first stage is flat except for a big mountain top finish, so the break went and i waited and waited for a team to start bringing them back but they never did , in the end they won by 15 minutes on the peleton and i was just wondering is this normal or some strange goings on especially since its the first stage?!?!? |

It often happens if you have the race / stage favourite. |

Ok, just never seen it before, i would have done the work but had a very weak team with me so didn't want to tire them before the climb |

Ahhhhhh, I never knew that! Wondered why it happened so often but it's because I'm HTC and have Cavendish obviously... |
