I'm am currently racing the Norwegian NC (road race) and there are 24 riders present. I have played through it 8-9 times just to get a result I could live with. By that I don't mean "untill I win it", but rather "untill someone wins it fairly".
Here's a little recap of what has happend:
1.
A breakaway consisting of two utter crap riders wins it with 12 minutes. Seeing this I replayed the stage and told my leader to "stay in front". He suddenly ended up in a breakaway alone and like magic all his energy dissapeared (it did not replenish either). With about 9 minutes on the peloton and just 50km to go I thought I would win it. Alas, that was not the case; appearently, when it's YOU who is in front the main group works like clockwork, even though it couldn't catch a 2 year old on a tricycle earlier. Not only was I caught, I came in about 3 minutes behind.
2.
Most of the riders stay together in one bunch up untill 20-15km. Either Arvesen, Hushovd or Boasson Hagen attacks and wins it with 2-3 minutes. Since I allready had tried counter attacking to no avail, so I decided to do the same myself. At 16km I attacked and got an incredible 13 second lead! Of course now my guy was completely drained of energy.
Therefor I have a few questions...
- Will the patch be able to do anything about this?
- Is there any way to edit the result of a race after it's been played? And also giving my rider the NC-jersey? Dammit, if I'm gonna cheat, I'm gonna cheat good!
