Hi guys, could you tell me if world tour teams score super prestige in continental races? |

Yes, they do.
You can actually view the point system in the 'rules' tab 
But WT teams don't really need superprestige, they need WT points

They do if they want to avoid relegation |

Thank you for your replies, and yes, I am thinking ahead just incase of relegation! My custom team was promoted pretty easily but my schedule is full of Wt races with conti tune ups, so just wondering how seriously I should take the lesser races.. |

Oh, honestly thought that was WT points.
I think the rules inside PCM say the same, but not sure

You score points on every level. But oddly, the game seems to have a glitch. My conti team wasnt ranked in the conti standings nor my riders. Well they ranked just very low. I land a 2nd place in an early WT race and am ranked 10th in WT points...but only moved 2 spots in conti.
Now Im still in the WT rankings at 10, and at times reguarded as a fav on many stages. Prior to my 2nd place finish, I was never listed a a fav on any race or stage. To me this has to be a glitch. My rider is still listed as an unknown on the rider profile.
Game glitch in my views. Maybe they do it to make you feel good being a lowly conti team/rider.

In WT races, you can get WT points and super prestige points.
In Conti races you can get Conti points and super prestige points.
WT teams only need WT points to protect them from relegation.
CT teams need super prestige points for promotion.
I believe this is all explained in the game, either through an e-mail or somewhere in the rules sheets. |

So, if I finish bottom 2 of WT I get relegated? Regardless of the superprestige points? |

Ok, so the superprestige points have no real bearing for me as a new wt team. My main goal is to stay secure and build from there for year 3 where I hope to challenge for a big tour event.
So the conti races really are just for warm ups and it doesn't matter if I win them or not I guess? |
