Off to a good start in 2011.

Lead up to 5+ minutes max around the 55 k to go mark

Evans in Ardennes Classics form...?

Alrite flyin , Trent Lowe didn't make it again :0

As I said last year...I think that the T-Dog has been put down.

There will be plenty of other 300+ no-hopers for me to put up in week 2....

what was the stage 6 prediction?

Flyin didn't do stage 6 mate , too busy at work , will endeavour to cover all stages from now . Any chance of a break tomorrow ? I quite fancy it myself

Group of 13 caught before final climb
Gc all over this stage with very small gaps

1 Evans
2 Andy
3 contador
4 frank
5 vino

Andys top 3 price looks tasty

Makes for interesting reading.

Is the game itself any good, or have they stayed true to form and effectively released an untested beta, and intend to iron out the creases as and when people moan about them?

Stage 10

No breaks b4 inter sprint
Group of 11 non threat to gc breakaway
Build up a gap of 5:40
Peleton never quite manage to bring it back

Hm the latter

PCM 2011 has died , numerous attempts to revive it have been made bit computer say no

Thanks for the reply. I bought one of the very early ones (Cycling Manager 2, I think) and the two most recent ones.

Somewhat brilliantly, they tend to seem to make the game just about playable in career mode just about as the Vuelta finishes, the season is drawing to a close and interest in the sport is waning. They always seem to throw everything at the graphics, and treat everything else as an afterthought.

In my opinion they'd be better off with a soft launch before the Giro. Loyalists could then give feedback on the various bugs, which Cyanide could then do their best to fix before a fully-marketed official launch just prior to the Tour.

God knows what the console versions are like. I wouldn't touch them with a bargepole.

Surely the greatest game of all time for PC

PCM dead...?

Oh no..no...no...no...no...say it ain't so...

we are back , thanks to the missus who uninstalled then reinstalled , back up and running
