Flat stage Team Attack
By: Wiley | Average Rating: 2.33 | Game version: PCM11
With around 50km to go (before the pcase is lifted to chase a break down for good) your whole team launches an attack. The whole team then realyas together like in a Team Time Trial. This will keep a high pace, but will use up energy quickly.
This will force a very high level of work from the peloton, but they will only use 9-10 at most, so the speeds of the 2 groups will be similar for a fair amount of time.
I have used this to effect (with success) on the last stage of the Tour of Qatar and on the Champs-Elysees. Both times eding with a win.
Varitaions include, leaving a sprinter in the main bunch, no ralyaing with your strongest flat rider, then launching him with less than 10k to go.Home | Submit a new Tip & Trick
its moves like this that really just cheat the game and dont make much sense in the real cycling world. not only could this never really happen but it also wouldnt be a very energy efficient way of winning a stage. no DS would waste his entire team on a tactic like this. i think using moves like this just highlight how the game really isnt a great simulation of cycling as a sport. youve just figured out a cheap way to manipulate the AI, its not really that interesting.
