On the day of Paris - Nice stage 1, some riders have freshness BAD, making them virtually unusable, while some others have excellent.
Did the riders who had bad freshness have Paris-Nice as a season goal though?
If they did have it as a season goal they should have excellent freshness provided you haven't put them in a race 1,2 or 3 days before (or a lot longer if it's after a GT.)
The freshness system could've been explained a lot better, that's for sure ...
Thats how this should work, but not whats happening in the game...
Its quite frustrating, at least for me.
I dont know why, but cyclist go for an Excelent to bad with no need to race anything...

someone knows if recuperation is linked with freshness?
Of course they are related. A rider who has a better recuperation, recovers well on a stage race, even after attacking solo the previous stage. This feature has been around for some time, even before they introduced this "freshness" madness.
Recuperation works as u say from pcm2006, what I mean in my question is:
a rider with better recuperation have a better freshness too?

As I've noticed, freshness is a bit tricky. riders need to rest to get freshness, but if they rests too much, theyll lose freshness. If they do too much extra work on races (like ride in breakaway, relays, protect, several attacks) they can lose freshness even day by day. But if they strarts a stage race with low freshness, and u just let them "sleep" at the end of the peloton in whole race, their freshness needs more time to build up. So they need to do something to get on fresh but not too much.
I have a doubt, I have planned recognitions of the terrains for Giro d'Italia for 2nd and 3rd week, in PCM 12 it was known that it increases the rider's feeling in those days (has a positive effect on that number that varies between -5 and +5 that is next to heart rate) and he should perform better, does it also affect freshness on PCM 14?

Not sure about freshness but I think it won't, but it will optimize his form, feeling and his performance for sure.
