    Pretty new at this but I thought I’d ask. Strade Bianche is coming up next weekend. I know start lists aren’t definite yet but I was playing around with the game interface and could have sworn that at some point I could choose riders that weren’t on the ‘active’ list and put them on my team, even if temporarily. I don’t remember how I did it, though. Right now I can only see riders that are ‘in the start list’ and ‘popular riders’. Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to do something else? Maybe I just imagined it? Thanks for any help.

    I can see you don’t appreciate the job I do making sure the game start lists are accurate and we don’t share the same enthusiasm for getting the spelling of people’s names right, but that’s ok… I have the consolation that if any rider came here and saw their mispelled name corrected they’d feel like they have true fans here and that’s good enough for me.

    And I can see that you still don’t appreciate the fact that startlists are constantly changing until the last minute and that, as useless as you appear to think those running the game are, we will update them. Unfortunately we all have other things to be doing with our lives around running the game and as such cannot react within minutes to the latest change in rosters. Roster updates are usually done every couple of days up until a few days before a race starts at which point any changes are usually updated daily.

    What’s more, we check lots of sources and believe it or not we know what we’re doing, for example we know that the ‘official’ startlist is usually at least a couple of weeks out of date by the time a race opens on the game and that even those rosters listed on teams website are usually crap when we get to 2-3 days out from a race.

    That’s why roster updates are forever a work in progress and will always be slightly out of date from the ‘current picture’. That’s also why players are always encouraged to look at rosters themselves separate from the game because they may be more up to date and why the new feature was rolled out ensuring that when a rider is removed from a roster who is in your team you are informed.

    I’m sorry that you don’t appreciate all the work that goes into this and that we don’t live up to your expectations but we do our best.

    Do we still have the situation where Spartacus will get a section of the road named after him if he wins……I remember a lot of stuff about it last season and I think it was for a third win?

    somebody keeps changing Songezo Jim’s name to Jim Songezo too. STOP IT.

    I,rather patronisingly,always think of him as ‘Sonny Jim’!!

    however I do follow him on twitter so we’re quits!!

    Heh heh… Always think of doing that when I see that name…

    About Strade Bianche, could you guys add the Neri sottoli.it – Yellow Fluo team to the start list, please? Thanks! đŸ™‚

    Your right that what you are showing is official, my point being that it was out of date and published over 2 weeks ago, one rider being on that list gives it away. So Dave was waiting for reconfirmation of official team

    They’re not very recent startlists though, must have been drawn up at least a couple of weeks ago
