Stat Increases
Stat increases work mainly same way as they have done in the past. There are 5 levels of riders: Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, Level 4 and Maxed (Lvl 4 and 100 XP). Each time a rider gets to 100 xp they gain a level, and receive a stats increase of the manager's choice.
This choice comes from one of 12 categories with the Fabian development being the new addition. This file details the exact amount of gain that will be received, depending on Category, Level and Potential.
https://www.dropb...s.xls?dl=0
The XP for these increases is gained by racing. Each race day earns a particular amount of XP, depending on the category of race and level of the rider. If a riders fails to finish a race, they still receive the xp for the full race.
| XP | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Level 4 | | GT | 0 | 0 | 1 | 2 | | M | 0 | 0 | 1 | 2 | | PT (PTHC fpr PCT) | 0 | 1 | 2 | 1 | | HC (PTHC fpr PT) | 1 | 2.5 | 1.5 | 0.5 | | C1/C2HC | 2 | 2 | 1 | 0 | | C2 | 3 | 1.5 | 1 | 0 |
Additionally, the Tour de l'Avenir offers 20 xp to all riders who take part. Eligible riders this year are born in 1995 or later. This 20 xp is the first XP to be added to a rider during the XP calculation process. XP gained from normal races is then applied to a rider in an optimum fashion.
Riders may only gain 1 level per season, with the exception of Level 1 riders who are able to reach level 3. Though for riders born in 1997 onwards a development from level 1 to level 3 is not possible! Same counts for loaned out level 1 riders that did not include the 1->3 development clause/fee.
Any stat increases gained during the 2018 season will be applied after the season ends, ready for the 2019 DB.
The other form of stat increases is training. Prices might stay like last season but will be further explained later. There will also be the 2015 introduced restrictions on the amount of training a team can do each year.
Eligibility for Training:
- Only riders born in 1988 or later are able to be trained
- Only riders who are 'maxed out' - i.e. their xp is 4.100 - are able to be trained
- If a rider only maxed out during the 2017 season, then he is not eligible to be trained - as his stats have already improved inbetween the 2017 and 2018 seasons. Similarly, newly added riders to the DB, or riders whose stats have been improved, cannot be trained.
Stat Decreases
Also in the statgains file are the decreases that older riders will receive at the end of the season. Riders born in 1986 will receive their first decrease this time around.
Team Sizes
PT and PCT teams have a minimum team size of 20 riders and a maximum size of 30 riders.
CT teams have a minimum team size of 15 rider and a maximum size of 20 riders.
These counts include Loaned in riders, but do not include Loaned out riders. Stagiares count as half a rider in PCT/CT but do no longer count for the minimum for PT teams. You can have a maximum of 4 stagiares.
The team size for all teams in all races is 8 riders. There is a minimum of 6 riders for each race. If you cannot field at least 6 riders, you will not be allowed to take part in the race.
The only exceptions are the pure time trial events, which have a rider limit of 3 riders per team.
Salary Caps
PT: 3,500,000
PCT: 2,500,000
CT: 1,200,000
Each team has a loan cap of 200,000. The loan cap will be explained within the Transfer rules.
Wildcards (PCT>PT)
There will be 2 wildcard slots for PCT teams in all PT races - not just Grand Tours and Monuments. There is a package cost for applying to a particular race category - you can apply to as many races as you like within a category, once you have bought the package. (Although there is an overall limit of races to apply for)
Prices are the same as last year:
| Classics | | €30,000 | | Monuments | | €50,000 | | Classics and Monuments | | €70,000 | | Stage Races | | €70,000 | | Grand Tours | | €100,000 | | Grand Tours and Stage Races | | €150,000 | | All PT Races | | €200,000 |
Points scored by PCT teams in PT races does not count towards the PCT standings, and the races do not cost any race days. Race clash rules do apply though.
Priority for Grand Tour wildcards goes to teams who have not previously ridden a GT.
Time Bonus
Most races use the usual system.
Finish line: 20-12-8 seconds
Sprint: 6-4-2 seconds
There are some races though, that are mainly sprinter focussed, hence getting a bit of a different system to reward consistent sprinters inside the top10 but without top results.
Finish line: 25-18-15-12-10-8-6-4-2-1
Sprint: 3-2-1
The races with the 2nd system are
| Ronde van Nederland | PT | | Tour of Qatar | PT | | SAA Tour d'Afrique | PTHC | | Barbados Cycling Festival | HC | | Baltic Chain Tour | C1 | | Ras Tailteann | C1 | | Tour Down Under | C1 | | Course de Solidarnosc | C2HC | | Tour du Faso | C2HC | | Circulo de Juarez | C2 | | La Tropicale Amissa Bongo | C2 | | USA Pro Cycling Challenge | C2 |

Just to be entirely sure: Does applying for a wildcard for "All PT races" include PTM races? |

Yes.
It means you can apply to any race on the PT calendar.

Yes, would otherwise be quite expensive if classics and stage races only are 100k. only. |

If it was the latter, who would the initial rule even be for?

Could be a way of ensuring only very young riders developped fast. Not knowing why that would be good... Just had to be sure before signing a rider from 1996

Where does 1997 riders experience stop? 2.00 or 2.99?

Just to be sure on how XP adds up... If a rider is at 1.99 and Rides a C2 race, does the rider go to 2.02? or 2.00? or somewhere in between?

C2 race day experience would be added first (not in chronological order of races) so you would gain 0.03XP for your C2 race day

If a rider is on 1.99 and has 1 C2 RD, they will go to 2.02.
If a rider is on 1.99 and has 2 C2 RD, they will go up to 2.035 (+3 +1.5), which would be rounded down to 2.03. [Note: Rounding down would only happen after all gained XP had been applied]

One question about Lvl 1 to 3 Loan Clauses. Do we have to include already Avenir XP , or we have to reach Lvl3 without counting on Avenir XP?
