why can't i view the fitness levels of the riders in my team when i am making my selection?
i'm controlling the british squad and team sky and i can look at the fitness of the sky riders but not the likes of cavendish or wegalius. fitness is just as important as stats when selecting your team so why can't i see the form of my team?
i might as well just close my eyes and randomly pick 7 riders. |

You have to ask cyanide.
Or just open your save with an editor and have a look. |

You just can´t,not in pcm10,not in pcm09...and i think in any pcm..i just pick them looking for their stats,then,when time comes,we just need luck with other teams riders as we know our own squad riders fitness.. |

Or check recent results to see who's on form. |

I have seen a way. Select team, and get to the rider role screen. Fitness is there. Just go back if it is wrong. This only works the day of the race.

but you've got to pick the team a week before the race. |

Well I think it should continue like that. If you want to know who to pick, you can do like Squire said, look at the recent results. Also if the guy has the race as a favorite, things like this... also, on the day of the race you still got one or two guys to 'eliminate' of the squad, and then you can see their fitness. Would be ridiculous if we could see the national team rider's fitness for the whole year. In the end, what I do is pick the best riders possible. Usually some of them will be in good fitness.

i'm not saying you should be able to see it all year.
but with a week to go then you should know how fit they all are.
and riders results don't mean anything in PCM. EBH just won 2 stages at the vuelta for me with fitness below 80%. he got into 2 lucky brakes and was the best sprinter by a mile in both. he could have had 50% fitness and won.
and a rider with 95% fitness at the start of the vuelta could drop down to the low 80s by the time the worlds come around. esp as the computer seems unable to stick to the 60 day rule.
i'm mainly annoyed because of the timetrial. had to choose 2 out of wiggins, millar and thomas but didn't know how fit millar was. in the end i just went with the two sky riders as i thought at least if i do win then i'll get to wear the jersey |

Wow now that's different. I've never completed a season in PCM 10, so don't know exactly how is the WC thing, but in PCM 09 you could see the rider fitness when you had to do the final choose (race day). So I would probably pick the best riders and 'eliminate' one or two on the race day. F.e., if I was USA and picked Zabriskie, Leipheimer, Armstrong and Hincapie for the TT, but in the day only 3 were allowed, I could see each one's fitness and choose the 3 ones with better fitness.
Also, you talked about EBH: "he got into 2 lucky brakes and was the best sprinter" if I was seeing the recent results, I would surely not consider a breakaway win as a good form sign

well i just had to make my final selection a week before the race so it must have changed because i've never got this far before
it's just a bit annoying as i can't pick the best riders possible on the day.
for example i know swift is in good form but isn't suited to the course. meanwhile wegalius is more suited but he could have 60% fitness for all i know. if i knew wegalius' fitness then i could make an informed choice rather then simply gusseing. |
