ok, but has to be announced at least one season in advantage... nor when it's done. Relax, we will NOT change anything during the season. I will change some things on the RE (like the final sprint for example) and put this version in the FUNRACES, so everyone can check the difference and give feedback on it. We will announce a big chance a season upfront

Unbelievable.
A +9 flat @ 100% loses from a 4 flat @75% in a flat race! Other skills are equal (more or less) How can this be explained???
I've seen this before with the same cyclists.

If you're talking about the first two finishers in the race... Stanga got a gap with the attack on the downhill and Aragao never closed it.
Are their TT numbers comparable?
Successful second attack from breakaway groups seem to work well in the current engine. My theory is it's due to many low TT skills so that a rider in a break can't chase down an attack without an attack of his own. But 100% vs 75% and 9 vs 5 in flat is pretty significant. Perhaps the small sections make the difference?

negru u're a smart one... u'd place the downhill attack and it had success... I should have to place the attack in the previos mountain part... u gave me a lesson in tactics today... anw u were lucky too cause stanga had a flat tire but did'nt loose a single second.. chakra: what u're telling about? explain better please..

chakra: I suppose the two cyclists you are talking about are both yours. I recognise i didn't have time today to check the race, and now it's not working for me. But i see two possibilites: 1. I feel that the peloton, on some surfaces doesn't leave behind the weak ones. On flat, the two cyclists you're talking about would be in the same group (i suppose no attacks), on hill the average skill in the peloton is pretty low, therefore slow speed, the same on donwhill. This is why most cyclists left behind are on mountain, being the only surface when differences are clear. I suppose that on flat the two cyclists you're talking about stayed in the same group and the one with better flat was lost on other portion of the race (probably mountain, possible downhill) 2. I don't know if i remember right, but i think there is also current ability in the race. In the last seasons i had a few cyclists which race by race performed worse than other cyclists with lower or equal skills. I tried, even if sometimes i lost some money, to sell this type of cyclists as they don't bring any benefit. I still have one for which i had hope, looks like this season will be his last in my team. @maxz Thank you for your compliment, but i don't know if it deserved. I have pretty scarce free time this period and when i choose my tactics i only look at my team. I have no idea about the competition, besides Rats with whom i was a colleague also last season. Therefore, i try every race to enhance the skills of my cyclists, regardless of the other teams. Today, i just hoped that Stanga will have a good attack on downhill, that if anybody attacked him before he will be able to catch up and that probably nobody will attack with him on downhill. And i was lucky and it worked. I hope tomorrow i will actually get to watch the race. Seems it was interesting.

I really suck in mountain stages. Now even my best mountain cyclist can't get away on 100%. I hope for a better result tomorrow.

Thanks for the tip. Could explain a lot. @de Koereurs: GET RID OF BORREGO !!!

As already said, in the mountain stages i should just pick randomly five cyclists and put in the race, because any and all of them have the same chance to win, which is 0. Actually, i just hope to steal a few points from time to time, but i think i have no chance in this group.

Bah the race profile of Paris-Roubaix is unrealistic. Again the difference is made on a mountain part. There are no mountains in this race. This should be the ultimate flat race!!
