I have re-done the tour on another thread. All stages 16 player.

 

This is tagged 8 player and we can't edit tags, sorry.

I've updated these all to 16 players and all 3 race bikes.

 

 

Some cycling tips.

 

This was done as crew challenge and when the times from other people started to come in I realised that I clearly did not know how to cycle in GTA. So I set about learning the game mechanics of cycling and this is what I found. It may not all be totally correct. It is just what seemed to be the case as I tested various things.

 

The basics, you steer with the left stick, L2 and R2 are your brakes, hold X to accelerate, tap X to go even faster.

 

Tapping X, I had just assumed straight line speed was all about how fast you could tap X. But that appears not to be the case. After some tests on a short straight course I think that tapping X at a rate of about 2 taps per second is as fast as you can go. I paced myself at 3 and 4 taps per second and they were no faster than 2. But 2 was certainly faster than 1 tap per second.

 

Leaning forward. You can lean forward by pushing the left stick up. This makes you faster in turns. But does not make you faster in a straight line. I found that if I tried to race with the left stick pushed forward all the time I soon lost control of the bike. So I think you just want to do this for sharp turns only.

 

Crouching down.  If you press R1 you crouch down, as a professional cyclist would in a time trial, and go faster. This for me made the biggest difference to my times.
