Sorry about this one, i know i have seen it somewhere but just cant trace it.
How many days per season should the riders be doing before they are totally tired
thanks in advance

FroomeDogg is right
After 60 days they loose 2fitness pts per stage after that.
So totally tired (not capable of winning) after 70 days of racing.

Is that the same with the AI as well?

Race days have no influence on fatigue, only the training schedule; they also don't lose fitness directly, but instead the max racing fitness decreases.

No, they lose (approx.) 1 fitness point from the max fitness race every 2 race days past the 60 marker. As said above, they don't lose the fitness directly. For example, if a rider reaches day 60 with race fitness 10/20, when he is on day 62 he'll have f.e. 14/19. He'll only actually lose fitness when he has the maximum fitness racing. Therefore you can definitively still win races after 70 days of racing, where you can have max fitness 94. But I'm guessing that you got confused here since, while searching for the table below, I found this post

Yes. For that reason some people find the Vuelta the easiest GT to win, because several of the AI favorites will have already gone past the 60 day "limit".
Fatigue is related to the training schedule - when it's too big, the max training fitness decreases.
Race days are not related to fatigue, and when it has passed 60, the max race fitness will start to decrease.
Here you can find a table giving the precise relation between race days/max race fitness:

Yeah. You can see some AI riders with 100+ racedays sometimes. Their performance will be less than normal, although you can't see their fitness...
But it's easy to see when you're riding the WC's... If you selected riders with 100+ racedays, you can see that their form is around 60-65 most of the time... So it does affect the AI just as much as 'us'...

You can also open savegames to check that

Yeah, it's quite easy to win WC like that, most competitors have way too many race days |
