Cant break away from peloton

[LeMiKu]

I dont know why, but I just cant pull away from the peloton if the AI decides that I shouldn't
How is my 76 flat +1 rider not able to increase his gap to the 66 flat guy pulling the peloton alone?!?

I get that its easier to follow if you catch the rear wheel, but once I have a ~20sek gap the guy with 10 more flat rating going at 95 should pull a gap right? Why dosnt he?

Not if the guy catching is going 99 and has a +5 day.
A breakaway is at the mercy of the peloton, almost no matter your strength. If they deem you dangerous in the break they wont let you go. Getting away is a mix of luck and timing.

He wasn't.
I got the 20 sek gap and then had the same guy pull the peloton untill my yellow bar was at 0.
I play with default settings so max raceday is +3

You can never get free from the peleton if you don't attack, no matter how fast you go.

I'm not talking about getting free. I had a gap. Was E1 and my rider just didnt go faster than fatty McSlow pulling the peloton

I have experienced the same thing, i have also several times tried to report the bugs of the peloton even recorded the bugs, but the developers ignores it. I also tried the other way around were i had to pull the peloton, at some point i tried 0 50 and 99 but nomatter what i drove with exactly the same speed i have it on record to proove that it is a bug. Ive also experience when you pull with more riders its a battle to get to pull the peloton, the riders moves from first position then back to middle of peloton then races up to the top again and this repeats again and again even with 99 i sometimes get 1 sec in front and then he moves back to the peloton to then as mentioned before race back to the top of peloton.

you don't need to attack to get away it is usefull but you can also do it by using the sidewin or uphil simple by pulling faster

the game isn't simulated the way that i think you believe it is , (if only), it's a series of scripts, what's worse is half the time the logic used is backwards. or in any case unrealistically and what's more unfairly bias against you or your team
I'll challenge anyone, ever seen an initial breakaway make it to the finish in this game or indeed any pcm game?, EDIT "unless" it's your team that's leading, then the breakaway gap can be 20 or even 30 mins the AI won't react, which is frankly bs, because it happens in real life all the time, that's just 1 aspect of why the game logic is not realistic, and there's so many others..

I won the first stage of Paris-Nice by 2 mins from a break I initiated. I see AI breaks make it often on hilly stages, mostly well into stage races when it doesn't threaten the GC.

Breakaways almost always loose irl as in the game. In the last 7 tdf's only 2% of the flat stages has been won by the break. In one day races and shorter stage races there are high incentives for all teams to bring the break back.

This is definitely a 22 bug. I have experienced it a couple of times. Very annoying. If you 99 effort instead of relay you can still pull the peloton. But its not much of a fix.
