Right, trying to post this again in the discussion thread 
Individual Pursuit
Rooting for Mouris. Gotta support your employees you know.
Im expecting the final to become McGee and Wiggins. But maybe Roberts, Pliuschin or Escobar could mess something up (although i dont remember Escobars stats)

Now say, that Velodrome looks quite niftier than Roubaix. Also, do you intend to write how you perform the events like with the african ones?

I predict that
Wiggins beat Backstedt
Pliuschin beat Escobar
Phinney beat Cornu
McGee beat Roberts, but im not sure on this one.

Its in Time Trial format since thats what Individual Pursuit basically is. I put the riders at 50% until they reach the velodrome, then when there down to 29% which makes them stationary. Once all riders are there, I pick the first two and slowly line then up on the finish line with a lap to go, the computer randomly decides who is on the inside, but i dont think that matters.
I pause the game, put the riders both up to 99% and put it back on 1x speed. I then watch what happens and screenshot the finish line and the winner.
