it's pretty awesome to play itt because now you must be active every second,if not you enter in the edge of road and stops you or if if you have a big speed in corners,you fall down
so itt need some skill,how little you need to decrease speed or how much to keep creased,when to press harder A to sprint
in video i couldn't play with 1 hand
the game has just 4 teams unlicensed:bmc,radioshack,garmin and omega
it takes like 30-40 mins to rename all riders names and team names,but mostly you change the first vocal of riders names
you can't change from game the sponsors,on shirt remains cbm instead of bmc,not so much ennoying
i didn't played a flat/montain/hilly stage,so info about more later
i numbered the playable sections and looks like so:
1st stage - full,itt
2nd stage - 4 sections
3rd stage - 3 sections
4th stage - 3 sections
5th stage - 3 sections
6th stage - 3 sections
7th stage - 3 sections
8th stage - 3 sections
9th stage - 7 sections,play a lot,hilly stage
10th stage - full,itt
11th stage - 3 sections,play a lot,montain stage
12th stage 4 sections,play a lot,montain stage
13th stage - 5 sections
14th stage - 3 sections
15th stage - 5 sections
16th stage - 3 sections
17th stage - 5 sections,play a lot,montain stage
18th stage - 5 sections,play a lot,montain stage
19th stage - 3 sections
20th stage - full,itt
21th stage - 3 sections
meaning of play a lot,it's like playing 70% of stage
contador it isn't and you can't create a rider
andy has 84 montain stats,i think it's too much because nobody has 83 and not even 82
intxausti has 78 mon,77 hill and other climbers has like him
i didn't watch too much,probably will be and other riders with not some realistic stats
you can't change the stats
and online i can't,but it's 1vs1,just 2 humans and they'll play last km.probably like last 30-20 km
i started to play the tour.3 times i started the tour with wiggins and never won the prologue.2 times i entered in edge of road so i quited because always on 1st intermediare time i was like 20 sec behind the intermediare leader
i finished 3rd timw at 19 sec behind winner cancellara
at results i earned money for my places
after 3 fruits for stamina,energy and sprint bar(banana,apple and forgeted)
the achievements are pretty easy if compare with the one from last year,but CPU from tdf 2012 it's much better then 2011
just 1 achievement it's for online
1 achievement to earn 500.000 euros
half of achievements are pretty easy

Hm. The TT pics and the video look pretty interesting and promising The change between normal/aerodynamic position is pretty interesting, will require more attention on TTs and as you've said bike control seems to more important. However the rider should fall when doing like in the video, not just stop and start over. That is like an online flash game
When I saw Andy with 84 MO I thought 'wait can you change stats?' Because I seriously can't believe Cyanide gave him those stats (yes people, here you can/should complain about stats because they won't change )
i didn't had speed too big like 20 km/h maximum,i was more in keep my cell on tv
at 40 km/h i fall down with wiggins,i had like 59 km/h and i didn't press the decrease button(X ) when i aproached to a corner,i just took my finger from increase button
the orders it seems a little bit more hard to do verry quick,you must use D-Pad and RB,who takes place of A in validate the orders
for now,i coudn't get used to this new system
i could put my file custom names(real names) but if you don't know to use a stick and horizon or usbxtaf,don't bother because it will take some minutes
in 30 min you can edit a vocal from each name of the 4 team unlicensed
probably you don't need and folder E0000000DBAE21B727
but the folder 464507DA you need with what he got inside
use any usb stick
firstly format usb stick on pc
then plug on console
format or something like that on console(you'll have folders like on hdd) console
then unplug from console and putted in pc
open usbxstaf or horizon and inject folder from what i uploaded

Custom names are shareable, but beware, the file from Xbox can't be used for PS3 or vice-versa. What superrider2010 is proposing is the xbox version of the game, so if you have an Xbox, with that tool (USBXSTAF) + the file custom.db you can share file.
You can also do it directly with a pendrive inserted into the Xbox and copying the file from the dashboard, then pluging the pendrive to the other Xbox and importing the file, etc...
For PS3, I don't know if it is possible to share via PC (download PS3 local save to pc, then copy to pendrive, then copy on new PS3) I will try to investigate, however, it is possible to share directly from ps3 to ps3 and perhaps even with cloud storage.
One piece of advice, specially for Xbox users, rename the non-licensed riders before first patch, because names will change (like the PC version) and it will be longer to rename them later, and before you start to yell at us, this has nothing to do with Cyanide, if you are not happy, go visit Radioshack or BMC websites and complain to them why they dont want to appear in the game.
Finally, PS3 release date should be 5th of july.
Oh, regarding the stats of riders, before complaining about anything, get your facts straight, TDF physio is different than PCM and the attributes of the riders are tweaked to try to achieve the most realistic results possible. 84 in TDF is not like 84 in PCM and there are many other aspects that come into play when evaluating attributes, so before complaining just for the sake of complaining, play a whole Tour de France and tell me if the results are unrealistic with proof and evidence. ;-)
i was in green with evans in stage 5 because stage 4 i won and in stage 2 i had a 2nd place
i like that if you press B,you change your system of riding.it's riding on small pinion or large pinion
on small pinion you can press A as quick you want and long as you want,but you won't consuming your yellow bar(stamina) or red bar(sprint ).this is more taking the charge of peleton or group
the large pinion it's for more speed and sprinting,but you'll consume verry quickly both bars
i tryed 2 times at the last 12 km=10 km to make a train with bmc,never maded and had all 8 teammates
i pressed RB and then at manager and start a train or something like that,but they never maked a train and i have hincapie,ballan,van avermet,hushovd
ops,mistake not pinion,sheet(google is translate).really don't know some components in english

i completed the tour with bmc : evans,pinotii,van garderen,gilbert,ballan,hincapie,hushovd,van avermet,moinard
like tdf 2011 has again stage race riders be in top 10 at sprint massive,flat finish(vockler,samuel sanchez,evans,valverde)
i was evans every stage played,1 time i attacked and won on flat,i had and a 2nd place,and 6th place
i played most unprotected and still was son of canibal few stages.last day leader on all t-shirt(less white)were stage 19 when cavendish had a 2nd place,rojas beated that slimy worm.not on champ elisse cavendish couldn't won.peloton catch the breakaway riders on last 200m and an breakaway rider won with a wheel in front of cav-en-trash
he tooked my green shirt the noob
