The Tour2: reloaded!

After the first Tour model posted on december, now we are presenting its second version!

In this new release, as it was promissed in the first one, the user can play and interact with the model, testing different strategies, either individual strategies (attacking at some particular possition at each stage, going for the mountain points or competing for the final sprint) or group strategies (accelerating at a point of the race, defending the leader or responding to another's attack).

To complement this, we now have a complete punctuation system, by which there are intermediate sprint points, mountain points and the already known final points in each stage. With all these, cyclists can already compete for the yellow, green and polka-dot jerseys!

Still not satisfied? Now you can decide how to create your cyclists' profiles! You can modify your cyclists' energy abailable, as well as how it will be distributed in six different capacities (resistance, climbing, hills, sprint, attack and descent), either for your team as a whole or for each cyclist. It will be much easier to "create" your own Alberto, Andy or even Cadel!

Finally, the energy abailable for each stage is renewed as a function of the final position in the previous stage, the position in the time race and the difference made in this last race.

Having said all, now is time you get to play!

Here is the link to run the model:
