Heh, a win! The fact I was 25s from winning yellow, and won the team jersey when in the first 2 stages I had all riders on 70% effort and no orders set...Well, I guess it doesn't say much for the rest of you guys in this tour I would've tried to gain a little time with Ragar, then Fossati for the win in one of last weeks stages and Iorga the other...It had potential to be a very good tour. The rest of this weeks races all look pretty samey, decisions...I have 10 riders who are at least partly suited to them fit so I should do ok?

Hi guys, Not much talk in our division this season I guess the Nightbiker effect? Well I'm glad Negutesco won Tour du Finistère, that's nr 3 for SeMTeX Hey, are'nt we missing last week update? That's a pitty.. allways nice having it. well good luck all in next stages I think it is the Nightbiker effect, combined with some managers being a bit less active. However, some more teams are winning races lately, so that's good I think. Very good win from Negutesco indeed, beating De Quint is not easy. Really impressive rider, Negutesco. I lost my second place in the standings yesterday to punkska, but that's not much of a problem. Don't mind promoting, but I think it would be better if I didn't (will not happen anyway, I think there are some more teams to come when we have the grand tours). We don't miss a week update, I posted them all. Maybe you didn't see it because it is on the previous page?

Huts :thumbs up: obviously a decent rider. I got my tactics right today, attacked at the first 4 points, then at the last one. Huts attacked at the first 5, got a gap for a while which I closed again but Van T couldn't lose him on the final mountain. 53kg will help but he must be pretty impressive in mountain too. (not that Van T at 69kg is heavy) Camacho is looking pretty good for yellow, unless Nightbiker trains Huts on fitness which is basically cheating so boooo him lots if he does. Overall a good week. I should enter all the races properly...it's more fun. Another thumbs up for Negutesco. Feringa looks forward to some rematches in the Giro I know he's not a better rider, but maybe I can do something clever and nick a victory.

Not a good week for me, lost 400.000 and in the ranking I went from 4th to 6th place. Hopefully a better week now with 2 small tours. I was aiming for yellow with Monnelly (yes, I trained him on Fitness, my apologizes punkska ), but when I see Huts at 99% and also Van Thuyne 1:50 in front, I guess that will be difficult. Huts for all jerseys?

I'm bored (I've made this post a lot). I'm just jealous of 1:1 and 2:2 with their interaction and predictions really. Shame our div seems the least competitive of the 3 too. No-one is going to enjoy Nightbiker easily 1st, me easily 2nd, bam easily 3rd and everyone else left with nothing worthwhile to play for (ok I'm projecting. Maybe you guys just enjoy playing for the sake of it) Can I please win a jersey soon? I keep ending up just a few points short and it looks the same in the current Tour de Romadie. Happyish with Hillen today. I think I've trained him well considering this stage wasn't properly suited to him. The one next week isn't either though there'll be one somewhere. Maybe. Hopefully... GC/race favourites for tomorrow? For the former it looks like these 4 to me. Strassera 75% J.M. Jiménez (+ 41s) Ouellet 80% Hüsker Dü (+ 1m18) Bulteau 75% Neo (+ 1m38) Molema 80% Nightbiker (+ 3m13) Nightbiker has Lora on 98% so just by default he's the stage favourite? The ITT on Sunday is another for Nightbiker, but I somehow upset the odds with Ragar in the only TT so far this season (a definite surprise to me) so maybe I can do it again. My Giro squad is 4/5 complete, 4 of my oldest riders (Gisriel, Feringa, Iorga, Van Thuyne) + 1, a sprinter? a climber? some kind of allrounder? Having options is good I suppose.

I'm playing this game now for about 25 seasons (or perhaps even more). I must say I've lost a bit the fun now. Not due to a powerful Nightbiker or another team. I've got other things to do too and lack some time now to fully commit the game. But i'm still subscribing the races. Though I always pick the 'wrong' cyclists. Just trying to fullfill the contracts. It's been a long time I've read the forum. Perhaps in 2016 I'll have some more time to play. So watch out. I'm not dead yet, but I'll probably relegate. And who knows I'll be back then.
Nevertheless, keep up the statistics. Nice to see I've won already ~2% of the points. :-)

Vadim 0 0 00:02:09 SeMTeX 14 TT content both have same skill on flat-hill-mount etc. this is a oversimplified example !, mood probably is the biggest factor but - Maselis is 2m07 against 1m75 for Vadim - Maselis has better decimals on flat (but not much) - Maselis has a much better downhill - Masleis has 12.7 experience against 9.0 all should also be taken into account ! (Maslis Form is only marginally better, and Hill even has a slightly lower decimal)

all should indeed be taken in account but the slight advantages Maselis had are nothing compared to the advantage he had on mood
mood is in fact overraited in the calculations it shoult be taken down big time

Mood has always been important in the game, I already used it to my advantage in the beta - version (back in the summer of 2006 ! next year peloton will exist 10 years !!!) where it still was easy to improve contracts. So you don't need to tell me that. Now atleast you have a substantial financial disadvantage for having a cyclist with a good mood. I always felt that mood influence should be decreased and form should be increased, but not the form like it is calculated now, it should be something cyclic and not based on previous results. But unfortunately there is no development work done anymore so we can discus it as much as we want, nothing is gone change until we solve that first. edit : P.S. : calling the difference in downhill skill a slight advantage, when it is actually 50% bigger then the difference in TT skill, and in a race that has almost 1/3 of downhill in it, is deceiving in my eyes ! Also don't underestimate the length/xp factor they could easily made up for one skillpoint on there own. I'm playing this game now for about 25 seasons (or perhaps even more). ... To have played 25 seasons you had to be in it from the start : 2 seasons in the beta version (second one never finished if I remember correctly or was that the third ), 10 in version 1, and this is the 13th in version 2.
