Well, I don't want the race to be corrected or re-simulated or something. Just to inform the masters of our code: There seems to be an annoying bug in race calculation. I posted it previously in Div-2.1-forum and thanks to Bosko for providing additional information:
I've never seen a strange report like that in the game - my first idea was to outrageously cry "Betrayal! Bug!". But maybe it is valid because obviously there are some very strong mountain cyclists in the Vuelta and they indeed invested a little bit more effort than Aliou Henrard:
Aliou Henrard has 13 mountain/9 TT but indeed 72 kg of weight and only 5 sprint. So this was the standings after part 3:
1. Melodia 1 00:55:52
2. Brassard 1 00:55:52
3. Cavaco 2 00:56:11
4. Clementino 2 00:56:11
5. Renuart 2 00:56:11
6. Folle 3 00:56:37
7. Tagliaferri 3 00:56:37
8. Henrard 3 00:56:37
9. Schiettecatte 4 00:56:56
10. Granatiero 4 00:56:56
11. Carnea 4 00:56:56
12. Goeders 4 00:56:56
13. Niculaie 4 00:56:56
14. Waer 4 00:56:56
15. Venturelli 4 00:56:56
Note the 19 seconds gain on the Peloton. I was thinking: Well, quite ok, and now he is setup to attack in his best terrain - maybe he can pass 2 or 3 cyclists and he surely will gain another minute on the peloton. But then this happened:
02:04:58 Group's 3 pace is too fast for Henrard, he gets behind
Mind: No fall, no flat. Standings after part 4:
1. Cavaco 1 02:11:13
2. Paparelli 2 02:11:24
3. Brassard 3 02:12:24
4. Melodia 4 02:12:45
5. Zijerveld 4 02:12:45
6. Coucke 5 02:13:04
7. Clementino 6 02:13:21
28. Pettini 7 02:14:05
9. Renuart 8 02:14:34
10. Folle 9 02:15:03
11. Henrard 10 02:15:11
12. Vandermeersch 11 02:15:13
13. Feron 12 02:15:34
14. Van Grinsven 12 02:15:34
15. Goeders 12 02:15:34
Can somebody explain to me what happened? See: A 13 mountain cylist rides with 75% against a bunch of peloton riders with 70% - attacks ... and only gains 4 seconds in a 14 km long 15% mountain section?
If I come to think about it:
BETRAYAL! BUG!
Summarized and compared with Zijerveld:
Time spent over part 4:
Henrard: 01:18:34
Zijerveld: 01:15:49
Other values that mather:
Henrard: effort: 75%, MO 13 , TT 9, SP 5, 72kg
Zijerveld: effort 75%, MO 8, TT 10, SP 3, 80kg
So yes, there clearly happened something strange.
What might be a reason:
Henrard was together with Folle and Tagliaferri. Maybe if all 3 attack, there doesn't happen an attack, so they all ride only "normal" on that part. After the part, Folle is nearby Henrard and Tagliaferri is even way behind.
Here's the link to the race report: www.peloton-game.com/results2.aspx?id=108&division_id=209&season=22
So, well: If this all went correctly I really would like an explanation for this strange simulation. And if it is a bug this elaborated report perhaps helps in analyzing.
