I was wondering, how do i use my team properly. I am going to ride the tour with Team Saxo Bank in the 2nd season and have stablished a really nice team to help Contador in the mountains, but how do i get the advantage of having so many good climbers compared to other teams?
I selected the following riders for the Tour to ride the mountains: Contador(84), Rujano(78), Pinot(78), Taaramae(76), Sorensen(75), Kiserlovski(75), Kelderman(75), Zaugg(74).
The number in () is their mountain attribute. Usually i use Zaugg to protect Contador to the last climb and then switch him with Rujano or Pinot. But then i feel i am wasting the other riders because they are no use when i just use 2-4 riders to win a stage or gaining time on the on GC people. Anyone have a good solution on using the strength of the team in the mountain? I would really appreaciate it.
First off, this game allows you to select a more diversed team for the 3 big. The other teams will do the leading, so you really only need 2-3 good climbers to help your leader. So in my opinion, you should maybe bring a sprinter, if you have one, maybe some guys to bring into the breakaways. But, if you already started the Tour, you could always set the pace at early slopes, I always find it funny to watch people fall off.
You want to control huh, ok make groups, 75 and 74 2gether
78s and 76 2 gether.
If yoiu have 1 combined with good flat stats put him on head
infinity 70 to 75, then 20km before a climb pace up 80 to 85%.
when hes dead, the group 75s If you wanna thinout quick put the group 78s on relay with 80 maybe 85%, you could decide to save 1 of the 78s like this you gona endup with a small group, maybe max 20 for the final climb.
2 be honest like this you dont need protect your leader, just keep him a bit behind your teammates, you can do this with dot or keep position.
