I´m at Giro with an incredible Cattaneo in 4th position and I found imposible what happens every mountain stage: in the last climb, normally, the rivals begin attacking all the time and my only strategy is to run with my own rhythm.
I know that, if I had Contador, everything is easier but I found it not very real that the computers attacks 3-4 times in just 5 kms of ascension.
Do you feel the same?
Do you have any strategy for these cases?
P.D.: I also see that you can´t manage what computers always do in breakaways and others stage moments: their energy is always at the Top and they can stand, attack,... without problems. If you do that, your green bar is empty and you are fu****. Indeed you put your riders in 65-70 and without doing any effort. It´s way to put you in difficulties to win? because it´s totally unfair!
First of all tell you that carrying a rider like Cattaneo, you usually can not stand the attacks of your opponents in the Giro.
I do not agree that it isn`t normal that opponents can attack 3-4 times in the last 5km. The strange thing is that it can only make the machine . That I do agree with you.
That is one of the errors in the game. Just to pass by the history of baia "Movistar Extreme" to see what happens to him too.
The advice would be threefold:
a) Wait to take riders with the level of your opponents.
b) Up to the rhythm of effort and protect them very well.
c) Be patient and try to enjoy the game as he solves this problem for the next year
I´m doing one story with all young and potential riders and this is my second year. Is the Team Eddy Merckx and I´m enjoying so much!
I know next year I will have Cattaneo, Keukeleire, Ulissi, Remy,... in a good moment to think in highest goals, but I still think that the computer must act like in the real competition.
Anyway, I know to be 4th in Giro with Cattaneo is a brilliant place and I gonna be in UCI World Tour next year. Indeed, if you see my green bar in the last week in Giro, is totally down at the last kms...thats because I had the sponsor goal of having the pink one day and I never planned to be all Giro. Only reach it at the first 5 days and then abandon...
Thanks one more time, make sure i love this game and next year I´ll return to Giro with the correct team and objetive!
