Talent scouting will be directly connected to the U23 Calender.
Top results and top rankings from the U23-races will be covered runningly throughout the season.
National teams will be adjusted so all focus nations will be part of a national team. For that reason some national teams will include more than one nation from the same region.
The U23 Calender consists of 14 classics + Worlds and 8 stages race + l'Avenir.
All teams will be given 75 pts to use for scouting. They go towards attending races and talent assessments.
Attending a race gives you detailed results of your focus nation and one more team of your choosing. Attending Tour de l'Avenir and the World Championships are free for all.
Talent assessment gives you additional info on the asessed riders. Most importantly an estimate of their talent level. This will be disguised through randomness so that a talent level 4 can give values from 3-5, 5 can give 4-6 etc. as well as the name his current highest stat.
Age and region of riders will be made available through the DB when the season has begun.
Costs
Attending a classic | 2 | pts |
Attending a stage race | 6 | pts |
Talent assessement, 2 random riders from a given nation | 3 | pts |
Talent assessement, 1 rider named after the race | 6 | pts |
Attendance includes full results of your local national team sent via PM after the race. You can only asess talent in a race you're attending. You can buy more than one talent assessment per race you're attending.
