Pro Cyclist Race Day Condition/Will Power
TheBraun
Hey guys,

Just starting to play, so I am sorry if this is a dumb question.

My pro cyclist almost only have bad day condition, I am in year 2 and still learning how to manage mainly my tiredness. If you guys can help with that, I would be thankful.

And my other question is about the Will Power to change race day condition. I am not able to use during stage races. I am only able to use for the first stage. Is there a button that I am not seeing or it is not possible to do?

On the page before you start a race, does it say whether your base daily condition is already negative? If so, you could see why is it, whether your rider doesn't agree with the weather, the temperature or tiredness is the issue.
In my opinion tiredness is best managed if you match your training to your targets. Depending how many point you have in Training (the skill that reduces your tiredness), it makes sense if you take a week off 6-8 weeks before your next goal and use hard training weeks afterwards. Time it so you only reach 100% on the week when your target race is. Then rest afterwards. Your goal isn't to have the best Preparation all the time, it's to have the best Fitness for the races that really matter.

About Willpower: it's not a dumb question, it's dumb programming. It makes no sense not to be able to use it in a stage race if the skill is already there.
People have been asking them to fix it ever since they introduced skills into the game, but to no avail.

Thank you for your help. I will try to apply your tips to manage my cyclist. And hope they fix the Will Power problem soon.
