i understand that more stars in a given discipline equals more development left, but does any one know how much each star is worth? for example one star equals 2 stat increase, or is it also affected by the rider potential number, so cannot be easily identified?

I got a talent (19y) with 5 stars on MO. His current MO stat is 52. I don´t hope that he only will get 61-63 in his MO stat. Sounds weird to me. |

in general experience, one star equals 3 stat points so two stars could mean 4 or 6 max stat poential and so on, if you get what I mean.
If offense is the best defence, does it mean that defence is the worst defence?

I've seen riders ingame who have spent only one star for 3 stat points, in my most recent game Tony Martin went from 80 to 83 TT with just one star left.
Although I agree that it may be due to the fact that the game calculates the stat progression not only in integer, so if a rider has 80.694218 TT, he is still 80, but maybe needs these 2.5 (one star by your calculation) points for 83.
That has never been really clear to anyone really.
If offense is the best defence, does it mean that defence is the worst defence?

1 star= 1-2 levels.
2 stars= 3-4 levels
3 stars= 5-7 levels
4 stars= 8-10 levels
5 stars= 11-15 levels
6 stars = 16+ levels

Ok thanks everyone i think we can agree that it not an exact science  imo i think its better that the progression follows a general rule, but isnt the same all the time as it makes for better gameplay

I would assume that "realizing" potential would also have to do with the quality of the trainer. In other words, if 2 riders have same mtn stats, same number of potential stars, but one has a lendendary trainer and the other has a regional trainer, I'd expect the rider with the better trainer to gain increase more. Otherwise, what's the point in having different levels of trainers? |

Increase faster, not more. |

That doesn't make much sense to me. Here's why... in my example above with 2 riders (rider A with a high quality trainer and rider B with a low quality trainer), let's say thru the end of the season rider A has gained 2 stat points, and rider B hasn't gained any stat points, but the year ends and now the potential stars of the 2 riders has dropped from 3 to 2. If this continues for another couple of years, rider A will continue to get better, but eventually their "potential" will run out and there won't be any more time to improve.
Is that not right, am I missing something? This of course assumes that potential (stars) decrease as a rider gets older regardless of wheather they've increased (realized) any improvement. |

Potential stars decrease as a rider improves in level. So it doesn't matter how long it takes. Rider B in your example would still have 3 stars if he didn't improve.
They also start to decrease when the rider reaches age of decline, but usually they don't have any stars left by this age. If they do, the stars will decline before the actual stats can begin declining. |

does potential increase at the same rate no matter what age to the star ratings? so for example.... 24 year old with 2 or 3 stars, he can still increase the same as a 19yo? or 20? |

If a rider has 3 stars then he can improve about 5-7 levels (as seen in list above) no matter his age.
A young rider with with high potential and the best trainer will improve fastest.
So if the rider is very old, has low potential or a bad trainer, he might never reach his 'limit' before he retires. |
