Just a quick question -
What is the largest margin of victory you have ever had in a stage of PCM, in any edition of the game?
Mine is when I was riding on medium a Vuelta with Cassie D' Epargne, Alejandro Valverde won by 7'42" over a group of Cadel Evans, Andreas Kloden, and teammate Oscar Periero. |

Is this a thread in the right forum?
btw, I won with Vasseur, 18 minutes down to the peloton, they never increased speed  |

I won with around 23 minutes once, same story as Halvor, the pack never started chasing. |

Despite playing this stage more than any other, I have yet to see a breakaway last more than 1 or 2 laps of the circuit. We're you playing the stage as part of the tour or as a one off? |

ah, ok. I've only played a full tour 2 or 3 times, most of the time its a one off stage with the best sprinters so they never let breakaways develop.  |

I can top that:
1: Menchov
2: Rasmussen some 30 minutes behind Menchov
3: Dekker some 50 minutes behind Menchov
4/5: Di Luca and Vinokourov some behind 1 hour and 20 minutes behind Menchov
6: Cunego some behind 1 hour and 35 minutes behind Menchov
7-10: some other bozos (including Evans and another Rabobank rider) some 1 hour and 45 minutes behind Menchov
The vanilla DB on medium, but still pretty painful to look at. I think the last riders where 3 hours behind by the time Menchov rolled over the finish line.

The Uzbekh Sharktooth by SN
The race was epicly unevenful. Sent Rasmussen on attack on the first climb on lap 1 where he stayed out for a long time. In the mean while, the pack got decimated by the ridiculous climbs on that stage, so halfway through when only around 25 guys where left, i put my remaining riders (save Menchov and Dekker) to a 99% relay. Once only Dekker and Menchov was left and the last guy almost exhausted, i attacked with Menchov and Dekker. Used Dekker on 99% relay to catch Rasmussen. Well, he didnt last long enough, but it helped Menchov pass Rasmussen with some green bar left.
With 70km left (i think), all riders green bars were out totally and no one could ride in a group. Except for some slackers in the rear end of the race where two groups of 10 ishand 20ish riders were together.

It is a stage. Not a real one obviously. But if we can convince some rich arabic guy to build those mountains...

I'd be willing to invest all of $10 into that project, maybe then I could get a chance to ride it.
However, trying to convine a Saudi prince to build it in Uzbekistan would be hard, it would probably be in Dubai, so could you imagine riding that in 100 degree heat? Actually, can you imagine riding that at all? |

Not just that. There's also the fact that the indicated length, 260-something Kms is the length as the crow flies. In reality, with those steep inclines it's more like 380kms or so

Ah, thats what you would be thinking in a normal world. But this is Cya-logic, the road is 260-something kms long no matter what the incline is.

actually, real stages are also listed as the crow flies. For those who never noticed, that means the monster Tour 2006 stage in the pyrenees was about 290kms long

Cya-logic FFS! If the road is 260kms in the .xml file, it is 260kms!
