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. Despite considerations, no new category this year but likely next season then. Reason is simple. It would have needed to be announced earlier before adding new riders etc. to take care the new training does not ruin their stats. 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 1996 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 1998 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 2019 season will be applied after the season ends, ready for the 2020 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 1989 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 2018 season, then he is not eligible to be trained - as his stats have already improved inbetween the 2018 and 2019 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 1987 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 | | Tour of Qatar | | SAA Tour d'Afrique | | Barbados Cycling Festival | | Baltic Chain Tour | | Ras Tailteann | | Tour Down Under | | Course de Solidarnosc | | Tour du Faso | | Circulo de Juarez | | La Tropicale Amissa Bongo | | USA Pro Cycling Challenge |

Barbados should be listed as PTHC, not HC, in Bonuses

- If a rider only maxed out during the 2018 season, then he is not eligible to be trained - as his stats have already improved inbetween the 2018 and 2019 seasons. Similarly, newly added riders to the DB, or riders whose stats have been improved, cannot be trained.
Should this have been 2019 - 2020 and not 2018 - 2019

I don't believe so. Remember the Man-Game is now going into the 2019 season, having just finished the 2018 season. Riders that received natural training (due to their level going up) did so between the end of the 2018 season and now so it would be 2018-2019.

O yes - training comes in transfer, was in the mindset it had already happened after the 2018 season end.

In the statgains file, the "Decreases" sheet is valid for the 2018 season. Will the values remain the same for 2019? |

Without having seen the new sheet yet, if the decreases are still for 2018, the only thing that should change is the years advancing by one. Don't think any stat decrease change has been announced.

Will update the file as soon as possible.
The numbers are correct just the years move a year further obviously. |

Will the ranking points file be posted separately? It used to be posted in this thread iirc, but was forgotten about last year I believe. Would be nice to have an updated file, since there has been some minor changes with Tour of America being counted as a HC race etc.

Is there a refund for buying the GT wildcard and not getting selected for one? And can you still use the 100.000 for training then?
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

If spending money on a wildcard category you don`t get then, you will get the money back indeed and can use it elsewhere! |

And just so we're clear on this, there's no issue spending it on training even though wildcard selections are likely to happen after sending in the transfer file?

Yes, if this money is coming back and allowing small training, feel free to do it then. |

Do i get this right :
A XP 4.000 rider must spend 100 race days in "PTHC fpr PCT" to gain the final level or 200 days in HC (or a mix of those)

yes you understood well. the best way to go from 4.00 to 4.100 is to really loan to a PT team or you'll have to have plenty of wildcards to do it yourself in a single season.

A Wildcard for a Grand Tour can give 42 racedays though.

Could "elsewhere" even mean other wildcard races.
Say I apply for GT wildcards but doesn't get it. Would I then be able to change for other PT stage races?

If that is your intention, then the best move will be to submit two separate Wildcard submissions. The GT one noted as first priority, and then the backup PT stage race one.
Typically all wildcards are decided at the same time, once all submissions are in, but GTs are usually the first choice made, so that will be manageable.
