For example in Astana, Aru (leader) have 49 race days and annoyed while a domestique have 49 race days and satisfied.

Explanation of idea:
Someone wrote about the fatigue and the number of races and he's right. Bring back the race limit were a rider begins to decrease in performance. Also get some rework on the freshness. Yes the training is hard, but if you train yourself to dead you must be silly. It would be nice to see the freshness working after races so a rider needs to recover after a race or a Tour.
When a GT is over it takes long to recover of it so the freshness is very bad. After one or two weeks the freshness is good again.
This could also be taken in combination with the race days ridden and the more race days you have, the longer a rider needs to recover. Like in the old system after around 80 racedays.

Why:
What's worse than your rider starting in a race with bad freshness. This rider is for nothing. If your Team is not big enough or you set the goals for other races why you get, who I would call it, penalized by the system. And don't tell me something like go with another rider or organize it better.

Explanation of idea:
Why only 3 different classifications. Why not putting in flat (Arabic races), lightly hilly (Mailand-San Remo), hilly (Amstel Gold), lightly mountain (with 2 and 1 categories) and mountain (with HC and 1 categories).
Also with the stats going more on that ratios.
Flat Stage 100% flat stat,
lightly hilly: 60% flat 40% hill,
hilly: 100% hill,
lightly mountain: 40% hill 60% mountain,
mountain: 100% mountain stat.
This is just an example. But in 3 of 5 Categories the hill stat come into count so I would give it a little disadvantage on the lightly classified stages.

Why: Form year to year I see Stage races with a lot of hilly classified stages. Now I really don't know the best rider for those profiles when I sometimes see mountain characteristic long slopes after another. I really ask myself is the hill stat the most important or should I go for mountain.
With a basic/static percentage and 2 more Icons I know what to do. Maybe this can bring some stability in the race behavior too.

Explanation of idea:
Teams and riders have got their own strategies: ride for leader, go for a jersey, stage victory,...
Now this is something I miss in PCM. You can't really see a logic strategy behind the teams.
This is a very long chapter of variations so I try to keep it short.
Sky only rides for the GC (Froome) and kept it like that. That's their goal, as simple as that.
Tinkoff got a Green Jersey Contender (Sagan) in the team who was on his own for the sprints, because all the others worked for the GC Contender (Contador).
The smaller teams try to go on breakaways for collecting price money, TV minutes (not important for game), stage victories.
There are far more possibilities, but I hope this makes it clear.


But sometimes bad things happen and there needs to be a Plan B.
Plan B is more like going for GC, but to weak so trying to go for stages or the KOM. As seen in this years Tour with the French favourites.

The KOM works good but it's also just a hunt and rush all against everyone from 1,2 km's to the top. If one rider of the break goes for the points he should go in front and control the group until someone thinks of challenging him or the others stay behind him and go for the stage victory. In previous versions it was some kind working like that.

Most important comes now. There is no Grupetto. Sprinters are always going so long as they can. Why don't they save energy during the mountain stages. Same goes for riders saving some energy to spend it on another day. Also there could be a time displayed to show how long they can take to reach the finish line without going over the time limit.


Why:
I don't see any logic behind the AI system. But maybe there is a way to more stability like in previous versions. Now it's just a rush and hunt. I always ask myself what are they trying to do now. The strategy looks more like all (AI) against me (selected Team).

Explanation of Idea:
A Button to show the breakaway group or a rider in a separate window.
Here I got an example:
This speaks for itself. The placement and the size are just to show how I think it could look like.
Why:
If one of my guys is in front I often switch between the groups so I don't miss any important action. With a picture in picture I got both groups in sight and don't need to switch a hundred times in a race. This could also be interesting on a specific rider to spot on.

Explanation of idea:
The stages are 1/10 and so must the time, but I think it need not. So why not giving us the opportunity to set our own time wishes in the options. Or go down half the time speed at least.

Why:
I want to get what I see and I see little gaps on screen. So the time gaps can also be in that range and not the scaled 1/10 range. So a regulator in the options like 1/10, 1/5, 1/2, 1/1 scaled speed or similar to that would be fine.
In that case the gaps between the groups can also be taken into count, not seeing the riders go over the line in big gaps and they get all the same time.

Explanation of idea:
The fall frequency option was the first big step for hopefully more of that kind of options.
Like austrian champ I would go further and put in an option to switch equipment contracts off. So all the teams ride with their equipment forever. But as I said it's an option to turn it off or leave it on.
Some more possible options:
- rider contracts on/off stay in teams till they retire or the normal negotiations
- same goes for sponsors
- equipment development on/off; the same equipment quality for all, or the open development on the components like we got now
- a frequency for illness

Just some options I already got in mind.

Why:
This makes the game more personal and it's your decision what you choose so I hope this won't be a bigger problem to implement. I personally like to take care of the cycling part not to look on the contracts and the development of the equipments.

Explanation of idea:
The Stats changing and the stages are one thing but if the gameplay is rotten there is no need for stages and db's anymore. I think if it's possible the community can be a big game changer in things of gameplay modding. If Cyanide can't do it right maybe the community can do.

Why:
When we see what the community is doing for this game I think it's time to open up things a bit and give the community more free space to get more out of the game. And not to forget this can be a win-win situation! Just think of Giants Farming simulator it's a simple game, but with community mods everything is possible.
