Hi,
I want to start carrer, but I am not good at creating schedules, I have created few and want to ask you, your opinion about few of the more improtant ones.
I want this rider to ride both Classics and Tour at top level. will he be able to do that as he doesn't go to level 2 at all ?
Will this rider able to hold his good from after the Tour, till the Eneco Tour ?
Two questions here. One, i want this rider to peak at Vais Pais Vasco and then at Fleche Wallone, is that possible ? Also I want him to ride Vuelta, will he keep his good shape till Giro Lombardia ?
Will this rider be albe to keep Level 5 form for that long ? Half May - Half June ?
After three peaks, will he get to Level 5 form at the end of season ?
That was the hardest one. I want the rider to peak at California and ride TDF at top level, will that be possible with this plan ?
Thank you in advnace for the help guys. I am compelte noob so would appreciate your help very much, as I don't want to end this carrer very fast because of bad schedules.
P.S. I know it hell lot of schedules, but thanks again

From my experience the peaking for cobbled classics and the Tour works okay, although the rider will be tired in the end of tour already (the 1st schedule.
The 2nd schedule may be a bit problematic if you intend to give that rider many races early in the season as he is peaking there and then you have to prepare for the Tour and take more racing days. If you then want to have good form in the Eneco tour, you should race some races or 1 stage race in between which also means that he will probably have more than 60 race days and the form he gets from racing will decrease. (In addition to the fact that he won't get full form from training any more due to fatigue)
If you want to have level 5 form after level 6 peaks I think generally it means that the rider will be so fatigued that he wont be able to get "top" form afterwards anymore, but he will naturally have good form even after the peaks. You should also remember that if you want a rider to do well in for example Pais Vasco and the Ardennes classics, it isn't necessary to have a level 6 peak when Pais Vasco is being ridden. You can achieve 94-95 form with level 5 already and so the difference to the 97-99 you may achieve isn't so huge.
For example in the last schedule I think it might be best to have level 5 in California (which is a race where most favorites don't have peak form) and then save more energy for the Tour.

Also I have another problem, I am palying Nationals with BMC, and Evans is falling behind every time he isn;t on dot 80. I don't know what happend. I even took him to training camp to get his form to 60 points.
He is jsut falling behind every time, why ? His teamate too. He fell behind now almost 1 minute, and I have no idea why.
In next minutes, Evans fell behind the peleton with loss of 30 seconds in few km's ?? his effort bar wasn't going red or anything.

Does his effort number start flashing red before he drops back? You could try to put more effort with holding position on in case that helps. Though Evans shouldn't have too much trouble staying in the peloton so it's hard to say what is causing it without seeing the game itself.
But generally it might be a good idea to use the relay button or the dot to go more to the front of the group and then hold position there |

No it didn't. Nothing flashed.
I did that. I used dot to bring him to top of peleton and then click hold position. And seocnds later he moved back the pelton falling behind, and very time I had to use dot to bring him up and then he fell back again, which is annyoing. I want him to stay at the top but he alwyas fell back.

In previous versions of PCM (at least in 09) the game had some problems handling races where there were too few riders and when noone is willing to relay the peloton the gameplay is totally messed up. Can you see if someone is actually doing any relaying or are they just riding side by side? Don't really know what could be causing it.. |

One rider did the pace, but that was it. It feels like exact same problem Nookie_85 has

Try not to use level 6 fitness peak more than once a year.
And a lot of weeks on level 5 is too much too.
Already on level 4 riders have a very good level for most races. Only the World Tour races are hard to win with less than level 5 fitness in my experience.
When I had a scouted talent in PCM 2010 with awesome GT skills, I rode all 3 grand tours with him, Giro at level 4, last week 5, Tour de France 1 week 4, 2 weeks 5, and Vuelta 3 weeks 5. It was enough to win all GT's  and not have an overfatigued rider.
Didn't use level 6!

your fitness schedules seem a bit to heavy.
Try to use this tool to tweak them:

I kind of "cheat" after im done with a the last race of my peak period. After the LBL i change to my TDF program. That of course has lvl. 1 training in april. So their form drops fast, and they dont get as much tired as they would if had the training drop aswell..

In my opinion, if you wanna cheat, you could always edit a rider's form and fatigue with an editor. |
