Paris-Roubaix The winning formula
By: TheManxMissile | Average Rating: 1.89 | Game version: PCM12
Paris-Roubaix is the man cobbled race.
First comes team selection.
Being good in cobbles is not enough. If 70CB or less they must have 72+FL to be of use.
Use worst CB rider to protect your best, and 2nd worst to protect second best
Never get water over a cobbled section.
Usual cobbled tactics, stay near front, dont use red of yellow bars where possible
Now for the good part;
From 50km up effort to 70, still maintain position
Dont respond to any attacks yet, unless they get over 1'00lead and include a main favorite. If so then start a chase...
20km to go; If a main favorite attacks dont counter, use dot85 to get across any gap.
Do Not work in any breaks!
15km to go, counter any attacks. First 2nd best rider, then main rider.
If a gap is created, use 2nd best rider to keep it open as best as possible.
When it starts to decrease stop working.
When it hits 20" attack with 2nd best rider, then counter with your best rider
Use the two to work together, at least 90effort
By this point you will be in the velodrome. Keep working until 1.5km to go, then sprint 99effort.
If this has worked, and it should have, you will win Paris-Roubaix, get a 1-2 and a gap of around 30" to 1'00!!!
(note; not guaranteed, needs good riders with good form, and no crazy moves by the ai)

Ive done it on hard...
With Thomas and Haussler both with 80CB
and Vansumeren and Vanmarcke 80CB
and Chavanel and Boonen 80/82CB
i said you need good riders... and luck etc.
Something that I forgot: It's also recommended/necessary to edit the finances after changing teams, as you won't have any sponsor income or money.
