Funny how you can make that comparisons for Abraham, when he has no CQ results. Berhane was added months ago.

I was wondering if you could add a few Japanese riders?
Masaaki Kikuchi-His best attribute is his sprint but overall he's not the greatest rider.
https://www.cqranking.com/men/asp/gen/...derid=9869
Ryohei Komori-He is an up and coming sprinter for Japan, but he's also average on hills.
https://www.cqranking.com/men/asp/gen/...erid=11168
Kouhei Uchima-He's more of a climber/puncheur than a sprinter, he's gotten okay results in the UCI Asia Tour but again isn't that strong.
https://www.cqranking.com/men/asp/gen/...derid=7311
Nariyuki Masuda-He's a fighter that can ride an okay TT (for Japan) and hes not terrible on hills.

If I'm forgetting anthing just let me know.

Aha, they had a piece on Eritrea? Something to look forward to when I next go home!

A small idea about training, as it is we can only train fully experienced riders, what if we make it possible to train those who are not fully developed aswell, but that they cose the same the would/will cost IF they were 4.100.
Example using Ola Haavardsholm, he can reach 75 in Hill when he got 4.100, so if I wanted to train him now in Hill I would have to pay the price for getting him to 75-76.
In other words, I can train him whenever I want, BUT the price will be as if he was maxed in exp.
Just a thought I got to make riders you are training "better" domeqstiques while you train them.

Well, the average changes significantly if you were to train a rider from base in Stage Racing, compared to Fighter. If you try and add that rule in, it becomes a nightmare to anyone else who might want that rider if you should leave the game. It basically locks the rider into one set of training.
So in other words, probably not going to happen.
EDIT: I think my brain added in a lot of sentences around the above, which makes it make a lot more sense. Honest.

I can see that, in my mind I pictured it always using the base that would give the highest value in the stat you were training, might be to hard to implent I have to admit it was a bit driven by me wanting to make Haavardsholm able to do something before he's maxed (A)

That's part of what keeps me playing the Man Game though, developing my riders over the past 2 seasons, and they're still not that good (some of them). It adds to the element of planning for the future! |

A suggestion for next season.
For the past couple of years CT teams have had the opportunity to ride in the PT if they had a team suitable for the race.
How about making it possible for PT teams to apply for a couple of CT races also? I mean, if a danish team is in the PT and Tour of Denmark is in the CT - IRL they would be invited to that race.
I'm thinking about what nationality to pick next season. I really want some sort of greek sponsor, but I doubt there will ever be a greek PT race. Perhaps I could get invited, or apply for a couple of CT races.
Also it would benefit the talents riding in the PT. Lets say I want to keep Tzortzakis and Vlatos next year. They would benefit from riding in the CT, and this would give them an opportunity to develop a bit more than they would normally do, hence it would be more interesting to keep level 2 and 3 riders in the PT.
Don't know if it makes any sense, and obviously you would require the PT teams to pick a couple of good riders to the CT race, so it isn't just a development race, but lets say 2-3 good riders, and 5-6 youngsters (if you have that amount).

I've thought about this possibility myself (particularly for HC races) but the problem is that good PT riders are usually so much better than good CT riders that there would be very little chance for the CT team to win overall if the PT team took a decent squad.

True. If I selected Contador to a CT race he would probably win, but isn't most HC races won by WT teams IRL? I'm not very much updated here, so it's a real question

Yeah most of them are, but the way that promotion works in real life means that it matters less than it would here, where the points on offer for winning HC races are much, much higher than the difference between (for example) 4th and 5th.

True...
Perhaps you could make some sort of "MAX AVR" of a rider involved from a PT team into a HC race. Perhaps an AVR of 75 would be max. That would mean for my team I could put my strongest possible HC lineup like this:
Jose Serpa
Tim Dees
Steve Morabito
Jonas Ljungblad
Anthony Lavoine
Mathieu Bernaudeau
Roy Sentjens
Geert Steurs
I could basically put in a very decent CT team, and also be competitive, but I could not put my top riders in such as Contador, Fothen, Ulissi, Pozzato and Holloway.

Something like that could definitely work.

Why not just have PT teams have to use race days to compete that way they won't send their best riders especially if HC races only give out a few or if any PT points.

If it ever happens, probably the only method would be that it would cost race days. And HC races dont give any PT points

Being a future CT team, I wouldn't like PT teams taking my points. |

Being a PT team, your salary cap is 1 million higher
