Climber - 70-72 MO - 69-71 HI - 66 FL - TT 55-57 - 68-70 ACC And all other stats from 55-65
Northern Classics - 69-71 COB - 67-69 HI - 69-71 FL - SP OR TT 66-68 - And all other stats from 55-65*
Fighter - 71-73 FL - 71-73 PR - 67 - 69 TT - 67-69 HI

*Rule applies to all other 18 year old types of rider

19 Year olds to twenty three year olds

For each stat a 19 year old gains one making the minimum 71 for MO and the limit 73 for MO for climbers. For a twenty year old the same thing happens only 72 for MO and 74 for limit of MO and so on. This will encourage long term playing as from an 18 year old to a nineteen year old the improvements would be bigger. This is only for starting out, a stage race rider can have a MO stat of 69 at age 27 when they had that MO stat at 18 if they so choose.

Climber - 85 MO - 83 HI - 65 TT - PR 70 - REC - 81 - SP 69 And the rest limited to 78
Stage Race - 83 MO - 82 HI - 79 TT - 81 PR - 85 REC - SP 69 And all other stats limited to 78
Sprinter - 80 FL - 85 SP - 85 ACC - 72 HI - 72 COB - MO 67 And all other stats limited to 75
Puncheurs - 85 HI - 79 MO - 77 FL - 77 COB - 77 ACC - 77 SP And the rest on 75
Cobblestone riders - 85 COB - 80 FL - 81 SP - 75 HI - 77 ACC - 67 MO And the rest on 75
Time trial riders - 85 TT - 85 PR - 82 FL - 75 HI - 76 MO - 80 RES - 73 ACC - 71 SP And the rest on 75

Development of riders

This subject is very important to the game. In order to develop you must do race reports which will be rated by the UCI who will read them. At the end of each season each rider will receive a PM telling them the points that they can use and a reminder on the limits of their specific type of rider. Age is also very important as their raw score will then be multiplied by a number ranging from 1 to 0. That is the total they’d receive in a PM.

A rider’s development at certain ages –

18 – 1
19 – 0.95
20 – 0.9
21 – 0.85
22 – 0.75
23 – 0.65
24 – 0.55
25 – 0.45
26 – 0.35
27 – 0.25
28 – 0.15
29 – 0.05

Stats will plateau at age 30 to 31 before steadily declining.


Management

The management aspect is a basic but important part of the game. A player can apply for a team at any point in their career apart from the occasional incidents where completely unproved people take teams like Radioshack.

Managers will help riders plan their seasons and sign real people riders as well as trading riders who are not played by real people.

Doping and money

There will be no money in this game as it would be an unneeded complication to a game that’s aim is to be fun. Doping will only ever be used in people’s imaginations. When they roleplay they can say there is suspicion about doping over their own rider but are not allowed to confirm it.
