AI doesn't react on downhill attacks ,so it would be kind of cheat (many thinks like that,i am not sharing that opinion) ,but why not,i'm using it. Also, i think it works such as FL , your rider will be fresher than others with lower DO , you can attack for longer + faster.
These are some basics. |

Well, obviously the downhill advantage is supposed to be used on downhills  But why would you use them, then depends on the type of rider. If it's a GT leader (e.g. Nibali) or even a leader for GC in smaller races ( = if time is what matters), you can easily gain time on downhills after the last climb of the stage by going dot/relay 99 (if the other riders aren't good in downhilling, they'll unlikely manage to keep with you).
If however the rider is just a domestique, you can f.e. send him to a breakaway in a strategical GC day with big descents to help your leader (either if he gets dropped or if you want to do an early attack, like Sagan/Nibali in last years Tour).

A domestique with good downhill can also chase in a lot of time on a long descent. |

the important thing about DH is that it is the only attribute that cannot be trained. |

The downhill stat relates to top speed on twisty descents, and determines how often a rider will crash on a descent. This second criteria actually applies to all terrain-oriented stats.

It can, but with no bonus ( = doesn't matter which of the trainings you choose, DH will always develop in the same speed)

Yeah, 0.01% a day.
