Single Attack Bug

[JoeLag]

Can somebody please explain why one of the strongest mountain cyclists in Peloton ...

• Wasn't mentioned when doing his attacks on attack points 7, 9 & 10?
• Didn't gain some time against the cyclists around him when attacking on attack points 7, 9 & 10?

Some data:
peloton-game.com/results2.aspx?id=1360&division_id=213&season=25

Cavaco started today's stage with fitness 100 and went all in. His mountain skill should still be around 17.8, sprint 6.9 (just lost the 7 on the last update), TT ~11.1 - fun race form before the race was 8 - mood is only content.

He has been the only attacker in my team and attacked on AP 1, 5, 7, 9, 10

The fact that it wasn't mentioned in the report, is because it was always an attack of the whole group (in this case: Cavaco and Mihnea).

In search for the answer why he "didn't gain time", I ranked the cyclists, based on their time over 1 part.

Part from AP 7:

Name	TimeBefore	TimeAfter	TimeDiff
Saloio	02:38:35	03:03:11	00:24:36
Bruegger	02:38:52	03:03:41	00:24:49
Sloodts	02:38:35	03:03:25	00:24:50

Narente	02:42:15	03:08:49	00:26:34

Part from AP 9:

Part from AP 10: (Cavaco fell in this part)

Name	TimeBefore	TimeAfter	TimeDiff
Saloio	04:54:32	05:44:53	00:50:21
Sloodts	04:54:57	05:45:22	00:50:25
Mihnea	04:56:14	05:46:42	00:50:28
Bruegger	04:55:47	05:46:42	00:50:55
Vanden Houte	05:02:11	05:53:26	00:51:15
Cavaco	04:56:14	05:47:55	00:51:41
Ivaldi	04:58:56	05:50:56	00:52:00
De Waen	05:01:00	05:53:05	00:52:05
Narente	05:03:20	05:56:21	00:53:01

Part without AP or sprint: (part 16)

Name	TimeBefore	TimeAfter	TimeDiff
Saloio	03:03:11	03:23:50	00:20:39
Mihnea	03:04:07	03:24:46	00:20:39
Cavaco	03:04:10	03:24:51	00:20:41
Vanden Houte	03:07:34	03:28:26	00:20:52
Bruegger	03:03:41	03:24:33	00:20:52
Sloodts	03:03:25	03:24:19	00:20:54
Ivaldi	03:05:09	03:26:29	00:21:20
De Waen	03:07:00	03:28:29	00:21:29
Narente	03:08:49	03:31:42	00:22:53

Summarized, I would say:
Cavaco is still one of the strongest climbers (in the "normal" part about the same time as Saloio and Mihnea).
But in parts where there is an attack and a sprint, the sprint skill gets more important.
Sloodts and Saloio (delighted), Bruegger (very happy) have a mood-advantage.

Thanks for this detailed analysis. I didn't make that effort ... and I'm inclined to believe that he really attacked and that his "medium" result is due to the lack of sprint skill and mood.

That matches my impression that sprint skill is something I should train more often.
