like I said this is already reported, discussed (because the other solution would have been that injured riders wont even get listed in the results) and "Il Padrino" decided that he would change it for the next race ... so no need to argue anymore, you were unlucky.
edit : And if your next question is , "why didn't he implement it right away ? ", well this is because a lot of the competitors have complained that changes to the game were not announced long enough before they were implemented ...

It is part of the game. I also spend a lot of time on strategy ... I will tell you what happend to me in the Giro : my best rider got injured in the third race , he had then already an advantage of over 10 minutes on the second in the standings (and all jerseys) ... After some strategic changes I managed to reach the third spot in the classifications with another cyclist yesterday, but during the weekupdate yesterdayevening he got injured (on training ! while in the Giro ) ... My third good cyclist managed to end the giro with the most points in the pointsclassification, unfortunately another cyclist scored exactly the same, he got the jersey, I only became second ... so, just bad luck, everybody has some (in the long while), part of the game ... end of discussion

You don`t understand, I`m not mad because my cyclist was injured, I know it`s a part of the game, that`s not a problem for me (please don`t ask me how many players I had injured in HT, and I`m not complinig). I`m upset because he was on 1st place on the end on the race...he got points..etc

Look. We understand you. We feel for you. The current approach seems illogical and unfair to many. Therefor, it WILL be changed. But not for the GIRO yet. Just starting from wednesday onwards. No need to be upset or blame someone, except for the part that bad luck hit you hard this tour.

can we blame you? *joke* you're right but the game should be relaxing not get ppl upset for things like this i won the tour because the one on 1st plce got injured 3 stage before the end! so insted in getting 2nd 3rd and 6th place i got 1st and 5th! not a big difefrence, but gave both me and the previus leader's owner headakes on the other hand his rider had 3-4 falls in evry race (0 bravery) mine fall 1 tine in the tour

Oh but I see it otherwise; if people get riled up for things like this, that means that they enjoy the game. Otherwise they wouldn't bother getting angry in the first place

Yeah, that definitely is true. If so many emotions are involved, it's a clear proof that the game has these users already in their 'possession'. You are good busy, Il Padrino.

in cycling every cyclists who doesn't start a stage (of a tour) automatically loses all his points and classifications ...
