Hey Guys
Perhaps some of you already know this, but i thaught i would post this announcement from Eyolfur so everyone gets the message.
Lets hope they fix the bug all together in the near future 
--------------------------------------------------------------
https://www.cyanid...mp;t=16798
Some of you may have noticed a problem in the sprints, where the controlled riders seemed to choose another wheel arbitrarily instead of following the wheel you wanted. The bug has been reproduced and there is a solution to reduce the problems.
Note that when you ask to follow one rider, even more when it is a top rider, you won't have the wheel as granted for the rest of the race. The other sprinters might want the wheel too an you'll have to fight it. The bugfix will only resolve the problem of arbitrarily changing the wheel.
To reduce the bugs, put the sprinters you want to control with 'free element' in the strategy. Even without using the 'auto' mode, it seems the riders receive some AI order to take another wheel and it leads to the problems. 'free elements' are not supposed to wait for the sprint so they are less likely to get this order. Change the strategy as soon as possible in the race if you know which riders you want to manage in the sprint. Changing a strategic role has absolutely no impact on the roder's morale.
Meanwhile a solution for the bug is found, we advise you to follow this rule or the sprint : set your sprinters as free elements.

Good news but I'll be REALLY happy if he ever officially respond to the question whether the equipment has any effect on riders, and if so how. Because it seems to me that it is exactly the same as in previous years. |

Yeah, but no this info from Cyanide. 
At least Cyanide admits the existence of the bud, that is a nice change. I hope they will fix it, but till then most interesting is, that role does not have influence on morale at all. So that leader cant get worse than -3 morale is gone...

You misunderstood. It will not have an influence on morale (the happiness of the rider). He has not said anything regarding daily form. |

Oops, you are right, thanks for clarification. So maybe also Cyanide gives us workaround that can harm our chances?

Come on! 10 times out of 10 tries, my main sprinter doesn't want to go out of leadout's wheel and just follows him, so when he lose speed (which is somehow normal, as he's a leadout guy), my main sprinter just keep following him and finish behind him. And it's happening every single time!
Do anyone have this similar problem? I set him to Free Element and I did all "workaround" they said we should do. It's just pissing me off so much.

That last sentence, does that mean they will fix it with a patch or that we just have to change or sprinter to a free element every time?

Yes, I had this yesterday but I play only one sprint stage.

The last sentence, when properly translated into English, reads as follows:
"Until a solution is found for this bug, we advise you to follow this rule for the sprint : set your sprinters as free elements." |

Leaders are not limited in daily form range. I am playing Santos right now and my leader have -5 (attachement)

This is a programming thing then. Their "auto" features should not affect other gameplay and they need to fix this. That's it.

Yes, because it is supposed to be like that in real life, and is not going to be fixed!

Thanks mate, so now it is clear. That means that sprint workaround should not have bad consequences, but i still hope Cyanide will fix that, together with sprinter not leaving the lead-out wheel.
