Where are all the Tiger riders on the standings?
Re: F1 Rejects Does:The Tour de France! Down Under Tour up
Down Under Tour stages 3 and 4.
Stages 3 and 4 are very flat stages and should offer plenty of opportunity to sprinters.
Stage 3 (No screens because game crashed) was won in emphatic style by Alitalia's Lorenzo Romano as he made the perfect run after drafting from his team mate. 2nd was Minardi's Daniele Rampazza, who could use the 6 second bonus in his hunt for GC honours and 3rd was Fosters rider Mitchell Webb. 3 of the top five riders from stage 1 made the top 5 here so they are obviously in good form.
Stage 3
1.Lorenzo Romano, Alitalia Parmalat Bianchi
2.Daniele Rampazza, Minardi
3.Mitchell Webb, Fosters Godd Cycle
4.Volkan Necipoglu, Team CIP
5.Wilson Ricky, Performance and Cocktail
A few riders fell behind the peloton but none of the top riders, so overall the lead is unchanged.

Stage 4
It has been a bad few days for Credit Bancarotta but finally they get some reward in the form of a stage win for Alexandre Vache. Daniele Rampazza racks up a 2nd consecutive 2nd place and Jackson Bannister finally finds himself on the score sheet.
You may be forgiven for thinking a sprinter tops the points classification but infact the top rider in both stage points and mountain points is Naseef Aqeem, the LSR rider features in pretty much every break and seems to have the energy to rush past the checkpoints in first place.

85. Peiter Briggs +10:34 (Team mate)
100.Roberto Di Magenta +17:21 (Assitant Sprinter, has points!)
None of the Lansvale Riders are going to challenge for overall victory, really all you can do is hope for good results from the sprinters and hope Aqeem keeps his form. Aqeem is really one of the star riders of the tour, he fights in every break and despite putting himself at great risk has a near 4 minute lead on all his teammates.

7.Shuichi Iketani +2:26 (Team Leader, lead sprinter too, scored points)
20.Hussain Inam +2:57 (Team Leader, yes another one)
54. Anand Singh +9:31 (Team leader, yes Firehawk seem to have three!)
63.Mauricio Sassetti +9:31 (Team Mate)
81. Yudi Suchayo +10:34 (Sprinter, 0 points)
96. Jason Edison +16:13 (Water carrier, has been in breaks too)
109.Nigel Roberts +18:47 (Team mate, has been in breaks)
I don't know why nearly half the team are considered leaders, but Iketani and Inam are good prospects and a good couple of results in the last stages could end up giving some good points to IKetani, who's sprint skill could earn him some vital bonus time.

5.Janne Nordman +52 (Teammate)

68.Siergiej Grishin +10:27 (Teammate, fighting Aqeem for poins/mountain)

82.Aleksandr Stefanovic +10:34 (Leader, supposedly!)
92.Rafal Piotrowski +13:57 (Teammate, Has been in good breaks)
DNF. Andrei Garasimchuk (Withdrew on the last stage)
If there is a break away, you can bet Tiger Cycling are involved, Nordman, Grishin and Piotrowski have all featured in big break aways. Though as a result they are not in good shape for sprints and the team is barely seen at the front of the peloton as they would rather hang at the back and NOT catch breakaways. Nordman has real chance of winning though it seems the team are backing stefanovic for reasons unknown.

How's Twinings doing? I've seen Westy and Davies on the leaderboard a couple times, but nobody really seems to be doing anything.

That is mostly because they are not, Twining don't see all that interest in leading the field or breaking away.
11.Craig West +2:26 (Team Leader)
32.Jacob Denver +4:15 (Team Mate)
41.Louis Gallard +6:02 (Team Mate)
48.Jose Vasquez +7:11 (Support Sprinter)
50.Ivan Shermetev +7:11 (Team Mate)
57.Freddie Donnelly +9:31 (Water carrier)
71.James Davies +10:34 (Lead Sprinter, has come close.)
Overall the team are not in bad shape with Craig West a real top 10 prospect, James Davies has been unlucky not to score points. Mediocre is probably the word that best sums up the team, maybe they have kept enough energy for the next hill stage.

None of your riders have been designated "leaders" but it is clear Jaime Carling and Wilson Ricky are the big names of the team. Norman Sumner and Darren Matthews are frequently seen at the front of the field leading the peloton, Adjej and Lomasson are seen carrying Ricky and Plant carries Carling. A fairly neat set up though trying to protect Ricky's overall lead on stage 2 went horribly wrong for the team.

Re: F1 Rejects Does:The Tour de France! Down Under Tour up
Is Romano leading the points jersey now, and how are Castiglione and Firenze doing in the overall?

Romano is not leading the points jersey because, frankly, the points system in the down under tour is hideously slanted to award mid race breakaways rather than overall stage victors. As of stage 4 Castiglione is still in 2nd place and Firenze is in the top 20.
Sorry I can not be more specific right now, stage 5 has already been complete, keep an eye on this space.

Re: F1 Rejects Does:The Tour de France! Down Under Tour up

Twinings Earl Grey had full control of stage 5 of 6 of the tour down under, they committed all their riders to lead the peloton and even sent Jacob Denver out to slow down the mid race break away. Of course this controlling of breakaways came as a late Christmas present to Cycling Circus as this allowed Nasser Abdulrashid to merge into the twinings train, something Minardi, Battery and Alitalia also had no problem in doing. Towards the final climb a number of strong riders broke forward, Tromsen, Ndiekele and Carling made it a few metres ahead before being emerged and a spirited Jerry Fletcher even managed a minutes gap with only 3km left but Craig West had in in his pocket to claim victory. Daniel sims took a spirited 2nd place, very nearly spoiling Craig West's day, whilst Xavier De Vos becomes the 3rd Alitalia rider to grace the stage podium inching team mate Castiligone. Johan Kelstrom become Battery's first points scorer this season.

The final stage is a simple flat loop around Adelaide so it is unlikely positions will change much at the front, Cycling Circus will be giving thier all not to allow any dangerous breaks to occur nor will they allow any harm to occur to Abdulrashid.
Because of the low field spread the top 4 remain unchanged as Arnold Abil and Slobodan Tomic just about managed to hang on to the tail of the lead group. Though a poor result from Janne Nordman has near enough ruined his chances for points. The bonus time rewards for Craig West and Daniel Sims should be treasured as it should allow them to secure 5th and 6th place, however a nervous wait befalls Iketani through to Firenze, as they all sit on equal times, it will come to the final stage to resolve them and only the top 10 riders overall will get series points.

Alitalia once again win the stage, having recorded victory on 3/5 of the stages so far they look set to win the teams section. Battery Energy also had a good run but could not overhaul Minardi in the standings as Team CIP slip to 4th.

As for the points standings, with Daniele Rampazza on a hot streak of sprint finishes he may go down as the favourite, but if Nasser Aqeem decides to go on a glory break again than he is also in with a shout of winning. There is theoretically 20 points still available across three check points (including the finish) so it is all to play for.

You should be able to see how those 3 are doing from my latest post but if you want more info on your team:
Xavier de Vos- Is actually labeled as the team leader for the tour, unfortunatly he spectacularly missed the boat on the first hill stage by avoiding the front two breaks.
Artam Karimi - is a teammate that carries riders for the first 2/3rds of the stage, part of the reason your riders seem to have so much energy at the end
Piermario Saltamacchia - is the rider who sits at the back of the peloton only coming forward to hand out water bottles. Nothing else of note.
Vincenzo Mazzola - is obviously the support sprinter for Romano, with mixed results.

These are exactly the roles I had intended these riders to have. Karimi was to keep a good pace for the other riders on the flat, so they could burst with engery in the last section of the stage and gai ntime, and Mazzola was supposed to keep Romano in the hunt for the sprint jersey. Shame he hasn't done his job more effectively.
Re: F1 Rejects Does:The Tour de France! Down Under Tour up
After the race is finished, please put complete results up. I have played some earlier PCMs and at least there was chance to export them to a file, so not necessarily need for screenshotting them all.
Re: F1 Rejects Does:The Tour de France! Down Under Tour up
Stefan Lomassonn wins the stage, Nasser Abdulrashid wins the Tour!

Stefan Lomassonn edged out teammate Wilson Ricky for a rare 1-2 finish on the final stage of the tour which, predictably, ended as a mass sprint finish.
Robert0 di Magenta ends up with his 2nd podium finish of the tour in 3rd ahead of Flugschreiber and consistent points scorer Mitchell Webb. Credit Bancarotta end up with 4 of their sprinters in the top 12 as they seem to finally have got the hang of working as a team, though only Flugschreiber scores series points today.

As you can see no time changes in the top riders; Iketani, Vasquez de Silva, Tromsen and Ranozzi will be the riders scoring series points, which is harsh on Ndiekele, Carling and co.

The points jersey was tied between Rampazza and Aqeem, ironically neither of them scored anything on the last round as both of them were too exhausted to be competing in breaks or sprints.

The mountain jersey, or as it should be renamed "breakaway cup" was won by Randall Clarks who clearly set out to win this jersey today, along with the other 2 breakaway riders of the day Jason Edison and Ed Kevin. Clarks barely paid attention to the sprint checkpoints but gave his all to win the mountain ones, earning NSA a trophy.

Claudio Castiglione may not have won the tour, but he can take solace in being awarded the young rider jersey ahead of Daniel Sims and Schuichi Iketani.
As the stage ended in a mass sprint of nearly every rider, the teams competition remained unchanged, so Alitalia Parmalat Bianchi win the tour, from Minardi and Battery Energy.

Use a notepad file to write the results and use the spacebar to align all the info. Once you've finished editing, copy and paste it into the [code] brackets. It will look unaligned on the standard text editor because the forum doesn't have fixed character width. If it looks aligned when in post edit/creation mode, it's wrong.

Alitalia's lineup for Paris-Nice;
Timothee Voeckler
Stefano Firenze
Claudio Castiglione
Przemyslaw Kolodziejczak
Maarten Hooiveld
Raphael Le Clercq
Artan Karimi
Fermintxo Intxausti
Also, I have a question regarding the realism of PCM; do riders accumulate fatigue if they participate in too many events in quick succession, making their performance decline? Or can we just use riders as often as we want and it makes no difference to their performance at all?
Second question...well, more of a request - the UCI World Tour also has a teams championship; in real-life this is used to decide whether a team can retain its ProTour license at the end of the season, but with no ProContinental series on F1Rejects this isn't an issue. Can we still have it anyway? Mainly because I expect my team to be strong in this area

Can we still have it anyway? Mainly because I expect my team to be strong in this area
In the career mode fatigue is a issue, unfortunatly I can't do that as I won't be able to control what teams enter each event let alone which riders. So the short answer is it won't make any difference, however as part of the start of each tour, rider form is randomised. This is most evident in sprinters. Though the random effect plays a very much background role compared to rider stats and team blend.
I am running a team championship, (top 5 riders of a team have their points added together) I just did not post the results. Currently:
1.Cycling Circus 106
2.Alitalia 94
3.United Boxtel 74
4.Team CIP 62
5.Twinings Earl Gray 56
6.Fosters Good Cycle 48

10.Performance and Cocktail Racing 19
11.Credit Bancarotta 7
12.Lansvale Smash Repairs 6
13.Tiger Cycling Team 1

There are currently no unattached riders, Fosters swept up the last of them. Tough luck.

Mizuhara has lasted longer than the team he was originally with, when Freaky Styley went under, Fosters signed all (but 1) of their riders. Mizuhara did not enter the tour down under but he will be in the Paris-Nice.

Other than Randall Clarks I did not see NSA do all that much, though if things had panned out better Alexey Volkov might have managed to bring home a solid result. I wish I could say more!
Thank you. And for Paris-Nice (why would they need another major cycling tournament, they already have the Tour de bloody France), use the cyclists I had before and adding Wesley Duncan. (I'm going to need all the help I can get, Salamander.)

Re: F1 Rejects Does:The Tour de France! Down Under Tour up
I would like all teams that have yet to confirm their teams for the Paris-Nice to do so as soon as possible please.
This 8 stage run (1 short flat time trial, 4 flat, 2 hill, 1 mountain time trial) offer many opportunities for winners and the event winner will not be clear until after the final stage is done. Anything could happen.
