Participation in the Race of the Minutemen

Written by Bilal at 09:32 2/2-2015

  Well, the participation in the Race of the Minutemed has ended, with very poor results, which leads me to think my initial idea was wrong.
  
  I thought that with two sprint stages in a tour focused on itt and climbing I would have a good chance with a sprinting team to get some good results - a stage win and a good classification in the sprinter hierarchy.
  
  Helas, it was not the case ! Some bad management (no water carrier), some bad luck (mechanical problems and poor form for Archer in both sprint stages) and a better competition than expected lead to me getting only 3000 $ of the entire event, and a team full of tired riders.
  
  Next time I will be ready !

  It's probably totally random. Sucks with an unlucky streak.

  Check out my last 2 PR postings. Laacaro captained a flat sprint race tailored made for him. I expected at least a top 5 or better. He had bad legs and finished 12th. Then the very next race (as a lead out for Wilbur) he has bad legs again. Wilbur rarely has bad days and Laacaro never has anything but bad days! LOL

  That could be true. Count your blessings that Archer isn't like Laacaro is, he has a bad day in 9 out of every 10 races he's in. I don't know what the programming is like in this game but Laacaros "bad day" setting is so high that it's off the charts and it makes him be worse than having a 28 AV jobber on the team.

  To be fair, Archer usually gets better results, maybe in the tour he just was unfortunate.

  That is surprising you didn't at least take a podium in the sprint races. Maybe Archer is some how related to Fabio Laacaro? They have similar stats but all Laacaro does is have bad days and he can't win anything. I feel bad for you, better luck next time I guess. :(

  Fought Archer would have won the SC. Better luck next time!

  Indeed, your sprinting squad looked very strong in paper before tour.
