help me explain everything i need to understand the game? i feel the in game help is not good.
any tips for winning races?
How shoud i train a young rider to become able to win tour de france in the future when playing only as a pro rider mode? can you create a rider that can win tour de france, and get green and point jersey at the same time? and a rider that can win grand tours, and classics races?
how do you create sprint train, and when do you do it? tried 10 km left but it dident get to make a train
as a sprinter i shoud just be in the front during the last km and then press sprint when its 1 km left? what do i do with teammates during a stage if i controll them? sometimes i can controll 3 teammates
shoud you have your teammates riding around you, and is 10 km before finish the best time to create sprint train?
what does the diffrent energy levels mean, green, red, brown?
shoud i simulate races i have no chances of winning as a sprinter like big mountains and so one?
if you play controlling as whole team, what shoud you do? i started with a low continental team, caus want to have a norwegian team and build it up to world tour team. Tips? how to start? i just saw the race calender and got confused what races to sign up for, and riders to chose for races and so one when playing controlling a full team.
First of all in every stage you have different scenarios so adaptation is crutial and the more you play the easier you play. Adding to that you can change dificulty levels which can make it easier if you need to.
Green bar is related to endurance, general effort during the day. Yellow bar is hard pace energy, more essentially for the climbs and such, it's the thing you need to play around the most to know how to manage the rider's efforts. Red Bar is for sprinting mainly, but also for attacking and/or maximal efforts (of over 90 essentially).
As you don't have the experience, just play a bit and you'll know how to make your sprint trains best. Old PCM's you could do a leadout with 18Km to go and be in front all the time and win easy, but now it's much more complex and complicated (which is a good thing). My advice, have 4 riders, around final 10Km, the one in front with good flat, pace around 85 and with 4/5Km to go go 99, with around 2.5Km sprint with 3rd rider, 1.5Km to go 2nd rider and last rider just under a kilometer. This all depends if the sprint is uphill/downhill/flat, the energy you've got, how well positioned, etc.. But it's a base you can move on from. (Also, in mountains, don't make trains, it is only worth it if you have a very strong team and experience in managing the efforts and judging hearth rate, it spends more energy than you should).
Simulate races, well depends on what you're doing. Nothing wrong with doing so, but yeah if you think it'll be boring or have no actual goal for the stage/race than sure, I assume you're playing career hence why. If you're just racing a normal stage than yeah play, if you are I assume you want to.
Above all, just play. The more you play the better you'll get, it's really true the game is easier the more you know, for example I play on extreme and find it easy to win if I have a win candidate, so just play on all types of terrains, stages, etc.. And you'll get better with time.
Also little tip, try to leave your riders at 70 for generally most of the stage, I see youtubers regularly having like 85 all stage long and for example in a flat stage there's no need, as to recover position in peloton or something he'll spend more energy than with 70 and it won't really make a difference in the end. So yeah just try to keep it at 70 for big portion of the stage, put it higher (or lower) if needed. Also play conservative, try to avoid attacking, try to always go by pace and learn how to use other riders/teams.
