Originally created to report name corrections in the game. * Francisco Jose Ventoso (Movistar) appears in the game as Fransisco Jose Ventoso. I'm pretty sure his name is spelled "Francisco" not "Fransisco".*

Two things:

1) You should be an accountant

2) You should have an upper case E on your name

Please note that names and first names can slightly vary from a language to another (i.e Catalan vs. Spanish).

*Sigh* We are (!) in the Basque Country today.

Take a look at No. 18 below 45

Ok, here are the corrections (below) in a zipped file and in an image...
If you'll upload the Pro Continental Teams I'll be happy to take a look at those, too... I'm going to have to write the UCI again, 'cause I think they have mistakes I hadn't noticed before... You surpried me... I noticed you had already fixed a few... About 'Tsatevich', I'm writing the UCI with what Twy mentioned so I'd just take out the 2nd 'T'...

So the red names are the ones that need changed?

I know the none UCI ones are fine. They have just been added.

If in any doubt, check the rider's twitter. That's what they want to be called aside from Enrique's diligent romanisation of names

I don't care what they want to be called. They could put their twitter name to "um bungo in the jungle" I'm not going to change it to that.

All world team riders should now match up to the UCI listing.

Conti teams will get done next week if I can find the time.

I can confirm that there is no cyclist of that name on twitter. I found...

Your search - twitter @umbungointhejungle - did not match any documents.

There appears to be a fault with updating.

This forum is suggesting that it's 2 hours and 27 minutes since enrique last posted.

Could someone look into this please?

Wow... it looks like we're already set up for La Fleche Wallone! 41 Cool! Ok, so I've got Rebellin and Denifl already grayed out... Out of curiosity, does the game engine work like the game interface? Meaning, can you deselect a whole team or do you have to 'individually', 'activate' and 'deactivate', each rider? Just curious... 39 I'm really impressed! 1

There's a 3.0 rider called Mauricio Henao available on the game roster for Fleche Wallone. When I click on his name I get:

Then on Twitter, there's this:

I have to do EVERY rider individually, I can wipe the roster in one go, but to put them in is individual.

Henao is spelt right, the twitter you are showing is for a Colombian actor....not the pro cyclist 24

Also, I've checked elsewhere, he's not anywhere to be seen

If you care to check the startlist on the official site, you will see him listed there.

The birthday does match that rider listed above though.

@ProCyclingStats... tweeted they think it['s]... Edward Beltran...

The organizers really dropped the ball for this race... 39 It's amazing, you'd think the organizers would be the ones who most care about the accuracy of their own race's start list 39

In this case, you uttered no truer words than you did last year:

I can't find the Belkin rider Martijn Keizer in the game... I have him in a list like he was in the game before, but he appears in the list I had downloaded as 'no trade team'

By the way, I think there might be a space character [ ] in the database after Daniel Martin's name and after Mikel Landa's ... 39

This has been on my trivial things to point out for over a year now... I'm so ashamed to give in to my compulsion to pick at little details, but, what am I to do?... 7 ...

With both riders in current competitions I thought I'd point out that both Mikel Landa and Dan Martin have 'spaces' after their names in the database, as in 'Mikel_Landa_' and 'Dan_Martin_' I don't know why... maybe because their names were orginally cut from a list and pasted, and the 'space' was inadvertantly carried over into the database?... 39 Why do I bother? 39 I don't know... I have OCD?... 39

Anyways on to more pressing issues... I think it'd be nice to shorten some names, like 'Jose Joao Pimenta Costa Mendes' to just 'Jose Mendes', 'Rui Faria Da Costa' to 'Rui Costa', Michael Valgren Andersen to 'Michael Valgren', 'Nairo Alexander Quintana' to 'Nairo Quintana', 'Sergio Luis Henao' to just 'Sergio Henao', 'Jose Joaquin Rojas Gil' to just 'Jose Joaquin Rojas', 'Magnus Cort Nielsen' to just Magnus Cort and maybe 'Rafael Valls Ferri' to just 'Rafael Valls'
... I don't know... maybe because it's aesthetically pleasing to me...
