    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”.*

    And just as mysteriously as he appeared, he disappeared. Wow. I wonder what happened? The mysterious ‘Mauricio Henao’. Will he ever ride again? 😕 I wonder why Saxo Tinkoff put him on the start list for La Fleche? 😕 Hmmm… he never showed on the PCS or cyclingfever start lists, or on the UCI website roster or on the Saxo Tinkoff website, but he did make a very brief appearance on the ‘official’ start list… 😕 The mysteries of the peloton are many… 😕 Fare thee well, Mauricio, I hope we meet again… and you come back to ride as a 3.0 rider again… We could certainly use you at the Tour… 😕

    Hmmm… the birthday does (!) match the rider in cyclingarchives.com, That’s interesting! 😕 Hmmm… http://www.cyclingarchives.com/coureurfiche.php?coureurid=7580 It seems he may not have ridden in a while or someone never wrote about him or tracked him… 😕 Hmmm… Interesting…

    [Mauricio] Henao is spelt right…

    I just could’t find him on the UCI Team Tinkoff Saxo roster (http://www.uci.ch/templates/BUILTIN-NOFRAMES/Template1/layout.asp?MenuId=MTYzMzU&LangId=1) which the game has him assigned to. I couldn’t find him on PCS, either… or on cyclingfever (http://www.cyclingfever.com/team.html?team_idd=OTQ0Mw==).

    There is a ‘Maurizio Henao Jaramillo’ (http://www.cyclingarchives.com/coureurfiche.php?coureurid=7580) on the cylingarchives.com site, but I don’t see him on the roster for Tinkoff Saxo either…

    I know *sigh* I put him in there for comedic effect. He’s famous for doing ‘telenovelas’ (soap operas) and he’s ‘beefcake’ for the ladies in Miami and South America and every year he’s on someone’s list of ‘The Most Beautiful People’ of Latin TV… I thought it was funny he said he ‘[b]eing a [m]an is… hard…, i want to be [one] before im done’… I thought you might relate.. a little… 🙂

    Back to the rider, then, thanks for ‘inactivating’ him! 🙂 Shouldn’t he out of the game completely, then? Even if the entry refers to ‘Mauricio Henao Jaramillo’, he doesn’t seem to be an active rider anymore… 😕 Just wondering 😕 It seems like he last rode in 2004…

    I have to do EVERY rider
    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 =))

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

    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:

    Wow… it looks like we’re already set up for La Fleche Wallone! =D> 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… 😕 I’m really impressed! 🙂

    <:P Woo hoo! Yeah! Thank you, Gkam! I’ll be more than happy to check the Pro Continental team list next week… I think that includes ‘Kevyn’ or ‘Kevin’ Ista, who I’ll probably write to the UCI about, too..

    If in any doubt, check the rider’s twitter. That’s what they want to be called…

    I agree with you Twy… But source wise, well, crap, I understand G’s insistence on using the ‘official’ source… Though I would trust you more than the UCI or even the teams!

    Astana, for example, writes on its team site that the team had a Classics ‘brakethrough’ (http://proteam-astana.com/2013/12/24/classics-brakethrough/)…

    You seem to know a lot about Russian… I’ve been wondering how you picked it up? Family? School? Locals? 😕

    Anyways, just like you said:

    …diligent romanisation of names…

    I take offence to that. You can characterise my efforts as ‘diligent’ but you may not characterise them as a ‘romanization’ of names, kind sir. I am not taking creative liberties with translations, my dear Twy, I, sir, am merely reporting discrepancies I have found on the names of riders between how they appear on their team website and the game start list. You, sir, are claiming the knowledge to know how a language is being rightly or wrongly translated, sir, not I, and though I applaud your knowledge, I do not take kindly to your characterisation of my efforts. *hrumph*.

    When, oh, when, will you decide to ‘grovel up to me’ with an apology for twisting my ‘words’ and ‘actions’ ? I’m waiting for it, kind sir. Please, sir, do not ignore this simple request. You, sir, sound like a proper and reasonable individual. I, sir, think it not unreasonable that you apologise for your behavior. That in itself, sir, would say a lot about your manners and upbringing, kind sir, and, it would mean a lot! :W
