Yes, he is heavier, but only 67 kgs. That is not that heavy. He lost contact in part 5, a mountain part at 12%. Lemius is indeed only 53 kgs, but with lower mountain skill, lower fitness, equal tt skill and only 9% more effort, I find that strange. It's really a bit strange. Considering the combination of mountain, TT and fitness, Malton was faster than Lemius in the mountain parts. But after the first attacking point Lemius was in the top group (together with Mathiasson), Malton wasn't. Lemius has sprint 7, so I think that the sprint skill affects the gain of time during an attack. Lemius attacked five times and he got a small bonus each attack. I guess that's the reason, why he was so close to Malton and why Cozijnsen lost time on him!? Could be, but I think it is because he lost contact in part 5. And that I do not understand.

Lol, the result of my cyclists today is bullshit Frouin: Saving fitness, 20th place Strassera: Helper 100%, 24th place (more than 1 minute behind Frouin) Nastasia: No tactic, 70% (69% fitness before race), he can stay in the same group as Strassera. Please don't tell me Strassera waited for Nastasia so he could follow? edit: He didn't.

Chapeau to all the great mountain goats today. As usual I got my tour tactics wrong, but even at 100% fitness going into today's stage my riders couldn't have lived with the leaders.

Please don't tell me Strassera waited for Nastasia so he could follow? edit: He didn't. I found something very strange for me. After part 6 (hill) my 3 cyclists are in the same group. Part 7 (mountain) should be Strassera who leads. What do I see? Nastasia takes almost 4 minutes on that mountain. Let's do some easy math. Nastasia: 7 mountain * 0.69 fitness * 0.7 effort = 3.381 Strassera: 13 mountain * 1.00 fitness * 1.00 effort = 13 Please tell me what is wrong :/ (And don't say it is TT because Strassera has higher TT) Some other nice stuff: After part 15 (mountain) Frouin looses contact with Strassera (Less effort, less mountain, makes sense) In part 17 (mountain) he just comes back. After part 18 Frouin and Strassera are still in the same group. At the finish Frouin suddenly has more than 1 minute advantage. Let's do some simple math again. Frouin: 7 mountain * 1.00 fitness * 0.6 effort = 4.2 Strassera: 13 mountain * 1.00 fitness * 1.00 effort = 13 Frouin has higher TT, but still. Why can't he follow one mountainpart and can he escape on another? I really don't get it today. BTW: No problem with other cyclists, I guess Malton deserved to win Just my cyclists are acting strange for me.

Quatannens, I absolutely agree. I still don't understand the stage before that. But also not today. My guy Manzano had 59% fitness, I let him ride on 70%, no tactics. He finished 21. With his mountain 7. Strassera had 100% and rode at 100% and is a way better mountain rider than Manzano.
And check the report. In part 7 (mountainpart of 20 km and 14%) Malton, the best climber of the game, cannot follow his group 1 (he had 100% fitness and rode at 100%). 20 minutes later, in the same part, he rides alone at front. Having no problems to increase his amount of points with five.
Sure he deserved to win, and sure that Martinez is second is also quit normal, but there are some real strange things happening.
I also saw in another topic that others found strange things.

Let's hope somebody can explain this. If nobody can I'm thinking about reporting this as a bug because I really don't get it (Fortunately for me it has almost no influence, but for you it's a little different I guess.)

Achievements of my riders does not make a lot of sense either. I noticed some strange group and time developments. Especially, from the mid hill section.

For me it hasn't either. I hoped Cozijnsen to finish 2nd like last season, but it will be third after Martinez. I can live with that and without the strange stage he would finshed also third. I don't know if it has sense to report it as a bug. IP hasn't been here since June and on the game site since November 17. Nike's last presence here was also end November. I also reported a bug, I cannot change my squad for the U21 races in the final week. I sold a rider but cannot replace him, also in the final U21 race in the overwiew of particpating teams, my riders from the first U21 race are reported, instead of my actual riders in the tactics. But if nobody of the crew loggs on, bugs won't be fixed.

After today I think relegation is almost a fact. Frouin with only a 3th place. I don't know where I can take some more points, but I'll try

I already wondered why you didn't put him up for the Vuelta. Than you better let him attack full on 100% soon and then let him ride along.... Good luck. Would be a shame if you relegate with that kind of riders. On the other hand, that also counts for the Lions.

True. But this season my strong point has weakened a little bit it seems. I can't take enough points in ITT's. I had some bad tactics this season, didn't pay enough attention and forgot free fitness effort or even to subscribe. So I think it's also my own fault. A team that wants to stay in the highest division has to be at least basic active I just have much work for school right now

A team that wants to stay in the highest division has to be at least basic active I just have much work for school right now Also true. You also see that with Petrolul. If he had been active in the first weeks, he would have never relegated. Our Italian friends, Franconia and me are multiskilled and we get points everywhere. If you are specialized, then you really need to make the points there. Teams in 1:1 aren't only there because they have the best riders, because riders in second are very strong also. Seberla and Genomico are tactically perhaps the best managers in the game. A lot will be decided by the inheritage of Genomico. Where do his riders go to. There are a lot of rich teams in second division. Everything could be completely different next season.
