No, don't expect anything from Cyanide if they don't say it is a feature
Even if they announce the feature, expect it to be heavily bugged

Big thanks to jdog for making this AMAZING userbar!
Comparing to Football Manager, I'm mystified by Cyanide's tendency to improve graphics at the expense of gameplay elements. The game already looks great. There's a reason why FM only has simple match graphics - game is about management! There are a load of improvements that could be implemented to the management side surely with ease instead of needless gfx updates.

I agree with that.
I can't drop the impression that they even make some steps backwards. I feel the mountain stages were more realistic than in PCM2013 in PCM2010 already. IIRC, in PCM2010 domestiques of some leaders were setting the pace through climbs and reducing the main group to 20-50 riders before a GC contender attacked. And if some GC contenders made an early attack, it was 1 or 2 riders.
Now they just all attack at the same time from 150 man group. And the rest don't bother, so I have something like 10 minutes difference between 1st and 15th on some hilly stages or classics. That's stupid, unrealistic and prevents me from getting properly involved in any career because it's not fun to play like that.
Also riders getting stuck behind others is too much of an issue to me. Sometimes you're about 25th position in the peloton and still need around 3-4 kilometers for a rider to get him outside the "traffic" and do what do you want him to do. Not to mention the fact your rider sometimes drops from 20th to 100th in the peloton without the slightest fault of yourself just because the rider in front of him decided to slow down and your rider can't find a way to overtake him. It's obvious simillar things never happen in real cycling.
And some obvious issues, like unrealistic short TTT outcome, hasn't been solved at least since 2010.
