    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”.*

    Probably. That’s good, though! 🙂 I know you haven’t gotten around to the Pro Continental Teams but I was looking at the Giro D’Italia start lists and looking at Team Colombia I see that Edwin Alciviades Avila in the game appears as Edwin ‘Alcibiades’ on the UCI page and the Team Colombia website…

    I have a suggestion. You probably have all these folks at Team Colombia and probably most of the riders from Spanish Speaking countries down with their first name, middle name , father’s last name and mother’s last name…

    The truth is, with all these Spanish and Latin American names, you could probably do away with their middle names for the game. For the most part, riders, like Segio Luis Henao, are usually just called Sergio Henao, Nairo Alexander Quintana could easily just be called Nairo Quintana, etc…

    It would make the names shorter, the database neater and it would visually look less congested with less names around a rider…

    I would even get rid of the mother’s last name, as in Igor Anton Hernandez, and just use Igor Anton, and only use the mother’s last name to distinguish two riders who have identical first and last names, if necessary… I think it would look neater that way… Thanks! 🙂

    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’

    The organizers really dropped the ball for this race… 😕 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 😕

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