Funny nobody interacts on this subject. Probably I'm not very clear explaining.
I just want to see the race instead of reading about it when it's over.
The way to see the race would be in a flash (film) for about 20 minutes. You would see the 1 dimentional race(2 dimentional would be great but to far fetched) .
What would it look like:
The terain flat, hill and mountain and every cyclist pictured as a dot on the screen. When you move over the dot's with youre mouse, you can see witch cyclist it is. This way you could see who is in the peloton; who escapes; who is great on the mountains etc.

first of all I can't see the link...anyhow i understood I guess what do you mean!
second: the race engine doesn't work in a continuous way, that makes it impossible to see a live. the best thing for a live at this moment are some message given at some point of the race ( mountain and sprints or whatsoever) where you can read what is happening.
ex cyclist A manage to escape from peloton...etc etc..
that is what i think at least!

Those pictures seem to be a bit complex to do. For a cycling game, anyway.
I had something in mind like the image in the racedetails, but with indicators for the different groups. I think that's what RaymondC and anakin mean, right?
It's just an idea at the moment. The image on the racedetails page is generated at run time (the moment the page is loaded), so depending on the different data provided at certain time intervals, it's very much feasible. I just don't know how much it will strain the server.
Still, it's not something that should be expected to be in the game for some time. Because it will require modifications to the race engine as well.
The next season I will focus on certain aspects that have been a thorn in my eye (like viewing the races from previous seasons) and stuff that has been neglected while working on the new website.

Il Padrino, Those pics are more or less "concept art" in terms of the idea rather than all the flashy backgrounds and nice cars and such  What I meant is the core idea of icons with time differences plus or minus the commentary What I meant is this: gpro.se/RaceReplay.aspwhich is more or less a "flash movie" with moving icons and/or time differences Up for debate and further changes based on how many things come before a graphic view ... [EDIT]Your idea is more simple and doable in less time so I have to agree with it until we get "flash movies" |

Exactly what I mean IP. Racedetail image but with extra dot's when you move over them you can see the cyclists name... |

So basically what Anakin meant when he said in a edit of one of his messages I found a video of PCM to show you. At the bottom of the screen you can see a racedetail image with all mountains and sprints where a couple of dots are moving, one for each group of cyclists. Next to that image you can again see some dots with a number in them representing the number of cyclists in the group, and the time difference between the dots/groups. nl.youtube.com/watch?v=ugYXeN-8ZqwI think you all have a similar idea but just have a different way to explain it. In any case, this will not be easy to make. The adds came automatically with the youtube-video, I've got nothing to do with that. |

That would be awesome!
It is not a great idea, but a superidea. Would make the game very very professional, even more than it's right now.
