AI of my riders
longbow06
Sorry for my english, but, when i play 3D races, so often times happens that my rider does really really ilogical decisions. For exaple, last time the right side was closed in the sprint and on the left side was a lof of space but my sprinter tried to go by right side but of course he cant so i lost my race. Its really pissing me off because its happen lot of time and for these mistakes im loosing a lot of races. And a lot of times happens that im in front but i dont even know how but someone gets in front of me and start loosing contact with others and my rider loosing too. And he has a lot of space on sides but he dont get round. I hope you understand my problem and i appreciate any advice.

I think most people have been annoyed endlessly by this. Unfortunately, not much can be done. You can't chose whether your rider should go on the left or on the right. Many times I've been blocked in, too. In sprints, mountain stages, cobble sections...

My best advice: make sure you're good enough in front before sprinting, climbing, attacking...

in the last time it was sprint on paris roubaix on velodrome and there were only 2 more riders and i was on third position. dont think that i made some mistake positionaly Grin. never mind, its annoying, but i have to learn to live with it Grin

Well, if there are only three, he should've been able to go over those before him. Maybe he was the weakest of the group, sprinting-wise?

Anyway, there is nothing to be done, unfortunately. So learning to live with it is the smartest thing to do Wink

Cancellara, Flecha and mine was Boonen, i dont think he was the weakes Grin...
 
Ian Butler
That is odd, indeed. Normally in a small group like that, the AI (or your rider) passes easily in a sprint/attack. Maybe he stayed on "follow" instead of "sprint"?

Next time something odd like that happens, maybe you could take some screenshots and post them? Smile

It happens. I've had it before in breaks when my rider just follows instead of coming around the leading rider.
Just part of the game...

to see it in action go to my story The Hammarlings

i was so shocked that the only thing i did was staring with open mouth Grin it was velodrome so, maybe AI wanted to take it by shorter way and it was on the right side, but there was the other rider. however its only game, it cant think like real people, but its annoying.

The game has to simulate silly decisions of riders also. Just take the example of Démare yesterday: https://www.pcmdai...wstart=940
