that's my opinion...i think i can have an opinion
for me sprint is a secondary skill for the right timing of the change...better before than later

Offcourse you can have an opinion... we all have and that's a good thing otherwise it would be a dull world But what I am trying to say is that you should not look at your own situation but look what's best for the community before making any radical changes. I'm sure the sprint change could be in your benefit but if the gameplay suffers from it, it is a bad change...

i'm not talking about my own situation i don't think you know my cyclists ( i have some good sprinters ) you are sure but you are wrong, i don't know if it's a benefit for my team or not the new rule but i like it anyway

True: everybody loves hattrick although it isn't very realistic compared to real life. I would be greater though if it were more realistic. Have you never read those threads about people wanting ht to be more realistic? The more realistic a game is, the more I like it. I know 100% accuracy can never be achieved but it's a good thing to strive to come as close as you can get.
When it comes to sprinters and comparison to real life: sprinters usually only win one day races and flat stages of a tour. Why? Because in those races they can save as much fitness for the final sprint as possible. In a long tour fitness drops and sprinters suffer more than other riders because they are only trained for that one shot at the end of a race.
So I would suggest to let fitness have a greater impact on sprinters. When it's 100% they will crush everyone, but when it's down to let's say 75% they cannot even win a sprint of a (for instance) mountain cyclist with almost no sprint-ability who is also 75% fit. Get my point?

Please try to put suggestions in the suggestions-forum. And although I am pro realism in this game, I still feel that too much realism will make any game boring. I'm not gonna share my opinion on the changes itself with you, but I will admit that the timing could have been better.

According to what I have heard, an entire season was beta-tested The beta-season was stopped half-way the TDF, this because of problems with the web-hosting. What's more a lot of changes were implemented after the beta-season. There was no seperate TT-skill then, no ITT's and just one TTT. Also the sprinting skill did not have any effect on the rankings for the jerseys etc. ... Il Padrino did an awful lot to improve the game between seasons but I suspect he was a bit overwhelmed with the sudden mass response the game got once it got going again. (He must have expected it but not that fast). I think that is the main reason why there were still some annoying items left to be dealt with, despite the huge amount of effort he has already put into this game.

Nobody has any doubts about his skills and effort spent. Let that be clear. Only sometimes, decision are a bit hasty and not well-thought. That is, in my opinion, off course. Feel free to disagree.

I agree resimulating races should be avoided, unless thay are at the first 1-2 stages of a tour and could fix a bug that would have spoil the chances for the riders affected
