Glad to see you back to PCM. I'll definitely be following. Also glad to see I'm not the only one with a sprinter giving up their leadout's wheel close to the finish line. Happens way too often.
12:00 have seen this happen multiple times in mostly downhill finishes previous years. The rider in the wheel just gets 55 sprint the moment you launch him, should be looked at.
Honestly I fully back your call about buying the game every 2 years. I mean, i buy it every year on launch day, but its basically the only game i play with football manager (i have 450 hours on pcm 23), if you play it more casual, its better to buy it every 2 or 3 years, or just wait for a discount, not worth the 40€
What a difference WorldDB makes to this game. That Olympias Tour changes very much. The stages got not both sprint and KOMs but just one Point classification and those sprints got NO bonus seconds and just 3-2-1 points. In minor races as you point out getting the correct values on those sprints and KOMs are in my mind crucial. It changes the focus on the stage. Now WorldDB got most individual setups for each and every race and not like Cyanide a "standard" 2.2 setup. As Benji mentioned in previous episode every none should DL a "fixed" database, WorldDB or others that got correct classification setups.
Very nice results. You didn't lost the talent! I played a bit of the game and i already had the need to up the difficulty, especially on MM and Hill stages, on sprint and tt its almost impossible to compete upded difficulty. Does someone experience this unbalance?
That reverse leadout drop the wheel tactic could've worked better if you hit the attack button, not just go 99. In previous editions, the game was more sensitive to gaps if an attack was happening, not just pacing.
I asked the dev on the community page if they had fixed the issue of AI riders cutting off your train, and they say said yes they did, but I gotta say I don't like the way they did it. They removed collision detection so now opponents can just teleport from one side of your train to the other. I understand it's probably very time-consuming to do a large rewrite of how sprint AI works... but that's why you're charging me $40, no? Anyway, I'm happy to be able to watch you play it again so that I don't need to buy it. If I get the urge, I just fire up 2021.
There's no team list but the community of the game has made the WorldDB database which brings all conti teams if you download that DB on the steam workshop.
I think the reason Scott lost so much speed here is because of the new aero updates? Just a guess but he went out into the wind solo and Wright followed the sprinter in front giving him some protection
A week before I started the career mode, I sent an email to 2 teams I wanted to potentially do it with, whether they would be down to sponsor the series, REMBE was the first to respond with an offer, I accepted..
Wait Rembe itself is already sponsoring this series? Absolute madlads! Love it!
This is rapidly becoming the best series out there
Never thought watching a cycling game would be cool. Well done, Benji. This is FUN!

The celebration at the kom killed me 😂
blij dat je terug upload, doe zo verder man ❤🙌
nice to see you back on PCM. Especially with team sauerland, since I'm from the sauerland :D

Thanks Benji for keeping the PCM content going on youtube
Best PCM series out there!
Best series on youtube right now (absolutely not biased) xD
as you said, i only buy pcm every two to three years.
but i am gld that i have finally found a pcm youtuber. thx
Nice - have been waiting for the follow up video.
10:37 I want to send the pic of Valverde saying in the interview:"tactically, we are perfect."
“Why is Froome here ??!” 😂
More importantly, look at the stats of Froome 70,70 for both the mountain stats and then 68 for hills.
the anton schiffer at 12:11 was part of the zwift academy finals last year if I remember correctly

I bought launching day from GA steam key for 28€.
Should have had a bit more riders between Wright and Scott for that reverse lead-out I think, definitely could have worked!
I buy PCM every 2 years, and I agree you get the new features of two years and can use the DBs
Facility's feature is really good🔥 Nice serie,Benji👏 Thanks for this video😉😊

Hahahah heerlijk shirt - geweldige serie! Thanks weer
You said at around 2:44 that dehydration is the key to victory. Never heard that before. Is it actually better to have no drink left in the end?
Love it! Please keep going 😊
perfect start to the day
Ik vind deze video's echt leuk. Leuk dat je weer pcm doet.
Borresch the beast
So happy that pcm is back
i actually like this keep it up!
Very nice results. You didn't lost the talent! I played a bit of the game and i already had the need to up the difficulty, especially on MM and Hill stages, on sprint and tt its almost impossible to compete upded difficulty. Does someone experience this unbalance?
You can buy them on sale.

26:35 I know math!! jajaja
Nice video! I find Time trails much more difficult than in the previous games?
Until last week I played the pcm 2021 (with new db's), this one I bought again (every three years)

We will remember the day Chris Froome's leadout ruined you
Great video Benji love your pro cycling stuff.
Is there a teams list somewhere for the conti teams? So hard to find.
No female mode yet either?
There's no team list but the community of the game has made the WorldDB database which brings all conti teams if you download that DB on the steam workshop.
@@BenjiNaesenTV That is perfect thanks Benji. I haven’t played since the 2017 version. So still glad to see the world db team is still killing it.

So you're playing with Rembe and they also sponsored this series? XD

What happens if you perform badly in-game, though?! :DD
Does the UI suggest that your upgrades only last for 1 week?
After almost a decade of playing pcm installments I had low expectations of the chatbot, but damn….
Sponsor ending in 2026 will set you back untill that year quite a bit since the budget doesnt increase well atleast didnt for me
If a train isn’t the most efficient on a climb - what is?
The way you look at the webcam is so creepy xD
UAE TEAM N1
What was froomeys climb stat?
70 MO I think.
Weet iemand hij die in pcm db edit tijdens een manager carriere de afbeelding van een bepaalde renner kan vervangen
Sounds like a Coffeezilla exposed scam 😂😂😂
LOVE IT so happy to not watch reruns now
Is this game perhaps a bit too easy?
I'd say yes, because the game AI is predictable so once you figure out how to beat them, that strategy almost always works.
The useless assistant was actually Cyanide doing social commentary on the state of AI
Switched to @guillaume when Benji stopped PCM now Benji Returns the week he stopped… it’s a conspiracy! 🤐

The animations are disappointing
