that's what annoys me about TTs yu have to find out how bad you need to be on the flats in one I got overtaken and still won it. Surely you should be able to go at a steady pace and be up there at all checks if you are a top TTer

Michielveedeebee said:TT's are supereasy if your guy has 73+, especially if there's a hill in it. Just check how hard you can let the others go, like 58 -65 depending on the distance. Then prepare for your good TT guy to go at a little more than most of the team and boom, you win....

will10 said:I try to keep a realistic squad structure too. Often this gives you a small disadvantage as you tend to get one or two AI teams building superteams. In the TdF above, Contador was supported by BMC teammates: Nibali, Ricco, Vanendert, Kern, Pozzato, Hushovd.... crazy.
Vino attacks everyone said:heh, thats nothing to his Movistar team on my Leopard save... not funny when he got 8 of 8 helpers with him to the very end of every mountain stage... (helper include Valverde, Soler, LLS, Rujano ffs...)

Tuarts said:Normally I play continental team, don't think I've ever played as a pro-tour team, the last times I was at a Grand Tour was the Tour with Barloworld and the Vuelta with Andalucia on PCM 07. All I'm looking for out of this game is to race in the protour races, which i've very rarely done, with a team full of riders I'm happy with and can at least races against guys with late-70s/early 80s stats. This gives me the opportunity to do so and if I'm skipping the smaller races it might make the game go faster for me than usual, I find I don't finish a season more often than not.

Parrulo said:i won the giro with ricco lul nibali, andy and scarponi didn't stand a chance
went away with the dot on finestre and ended up winning by 2 minutes on nibali who almost caught me on the descent and more time on every1 else
i was sad by the guys in the breakaway who lost 17 minutes on finestre (a breakaway full of great climbers like sep vanmarck lol)
