How does the game calculate the average stat? I know it's not a simple arithmetic average of all stats because no rider would have an average stat of 78 or higher like a bunch of riders have.
I'm currently playing with PCM2007, but I believe the calculation is the same for every game, so I posted the thread in the PCM09 forum.
Thanks in advance.

The average isn't calculated the same way for everyone, it depends on their specialty. You can change a number in the fkID_type_rider.I don't remember the exact number for those, just look at some big riders and use their # as a guidline. I once put the wrong # in fkID_type_rider and my riders average stat was 62 even though he had a 78 and 77 in hills and mountain. SO it has to match.
Hope this helps a tad.
Just look in the converter STA_type_rider. There are 7 different riders like mountain, sprinter etc. All of them have different stats that are important for their average.
For "tour" that means stage racer like Contador, Kreuziger etc. it says:
0,3 recuperation
0,55 mountain
0,15 timetrial
These 3 are the only important stats for stage racer. Now you can calculate the exact average.
For example Armstrong in my DB: 80 mount; 76 TT; 78 rec
80x0,55+76x0,15+18x0,3=79,25
The number in fkID_type_rider as seen above is just changing the rider type. So you can make Armstrong to a sprinter and will be surprised that his average is really low because of his bad sprinting skills -.-

The calculation is right as described by roturn, apart from that the game calculates the average values of all the rider types and uses the highest value which will decide the rider type and avg value of each rider.
