In my Wisenhof career, in the second year, Ballan completed the treble, not the Amstel-Wallone-LBL treble, but the RVV-GW-PR treble. Plus, Fabian Cancellara was on the podium in all three of them. Is this a case of cya logic? I sure think so...
Note: Sorry, but no SS forthcoming, I play PCM on a computer with no internet, and the USB port for a flash drive is being annoying at the moment, but trust me, this did happen. |

He did, I don't remember that, but two things 1) You need to start that back up, and 2) Did another rider podium on all three as well? |

I've done something like that when I'm in control but it has never happened by the CPU.
I have however won all 3 grand tours with one rider before.

Yeah, but the CPU doing it is ridiculous |

Im not sure about the Ronde since i wasnt in that race but Pozzato was 2nd and Hoste 3rd in Roubaix, while Hoste was 2nd and Pozzato 3rd in Wevelgem.

It's not that ridiculous. Peter van Petegem (2003) and Tom Boonen (2005) won both RvV and PR in the same year. There aren't that many cobblestone specialist and even less cobblestone specialist who can finish strong after races of more then 250 km.
Ok, Ballan also winning Gent-Wevelgem is a bit unlikely in real life. But it's only a game. It isn't perfect. |

Don't forget Rik Van Looy in 1962, when he actually managed this treble...!

But it is more likely to happen in real-life than in three simulations, believe me, the odds are a lot lower |

No. It is far more likely to happen in the game, because Cyanide doesn't particularly account for tiredness, and the strongest will always be up there

In my career Flecha won all three cobbled classics very easily in 2007, and I'm pretty sure that Hoste got on the podium for each too. |

No, I think Deadpool's right about the odds, this treble has happened once in about 60 years of professional bikeracing but how many players have simmed those three events and gotten the same winner for all three? We're talking about a few thousand of players who have played multiple years or went through the treble multiple times and never got 3 wins with the same rider in sims. |

I have had it happen 4-5 times for only pcm06, so I think it's much more likely in game |
