Hi everyone
There is a way to see how much a single rider had stage days in his program at the beggining of the season. I know It should be close to 60, but have I to do myself the count on how many are in his program?
In a guide I use for pcm18 I remember that you should get you preseason set in very High for all your riders and then get a week of rest set to 0 withouth races every 4 weeks more or less so your riders will always be on high form, and It worked very well for me, It's still the case in this edition?

I don't know how this works on PCM20, but in 17 when you put races in the Season planner in the rider sheet, there's a indicator on how many days he will race under his name/image on the left of the screen
The game doesn't plan everything at the start of the season, it fills up the races every month. 60 race days is the olden days, riders can easily do 100+, even 120+ race days as long as you control tiredness by giving them break weeks. The game books races for about, I'd guess, 75 race days per rider. So that's fine, nothing to worry about, except for tiredness.
If you start with very high fitness you'll probaby trigger the fitness peaks early. They aren't necessary but can be useful. I'm no expert, but currently I start with high for riders with their first goal 10 or less weks away and normal for the rest. Trust the planning up to the first peak. In April I start to look at the planner. Throw out races booked in a rest week, maybe add a break week if you see a good opportunity. Don't worry much about it now, even if riders end up tired or with low fitness, they can still race.
