I'm planing on racing the Tour de France and the Vuelta as the main goals. However, what do you think I should race in between as a warm up for the Vuelta? Pologne or Eneco Tour? |

You are probably better off with Pologne because there are more mountain and hilly stages. The Eneco tour is full of cobbles and flats serving no purpose to a GC favourite unless the goals for the Vuelta are sprinting. |

I race both and Vettenfal Classics, even though Eneco Tour and Vettenfall Classics are not suited for my climbers, It's good for fitness as in the 1st season there are alot of hilly stages at the start of the Veulta.

surely the terrain you race over in warm up races makes no difference. it all just counts as 1 day raced.
i think they need to update the days raced system. Firstly they need to increase the number of days before fatigue sets in. secondly they could introduce half days raced for flat stages where your rider just sits in the bunch all day doing nothing. Also prologues shouldn't count as a day.

I agree, maybe upping the race days before fatigue to 80 or 90 race days as it's more realistic, as you see in real life some riders will racce close to 80 days.

The fatigue thing can easily be changed in the DB  |

Where?  And will this change also effect the AI-riders or just the human-controlled team?

doesn't this affect only the fatigue from training fitness?
i believe they were talking about max racedays before race fitness starts to drop |

cheers CT
though sometimes it works to your advantage when you get to the vuelta and all the AI favourites have already raced 50+ days. thats what i'm banking on to get Wiggins into the top 3. The only 2 GC riders who aren't close to going over the 60 day limit are Arroyo and Anton. |
