How does it exactly work?
For example i'm on tour of Normadie in the 1st season, its 7 stages race. At a moment i'm just going for such a goals:
1) most important, earn xp so i can level up faster, so what i do i go for breakaways... and it is so inconsistent... all races i got 100+km breakaway, yet i only got xp for it in some... HOW CAN THAT BE? is it broken? For example i think i got xp for breakways in stages 2,3,4 i believe, and did not get it in 5 and 6 even though i was leading for like 100-150km. Please explain.
2) probably do not even need to write about this, but mentioned goals, so #2 is... going for mountain jersey, so far 1st with 50 pts, and 2nd place only 19... 1 race left.
3) Sprint points... i'm second in overall time, and like 8th in points, yet not even once finnished in top 10. Best young cyclist.
Actually, I'm almost sure I also got breakaway xp more than once, for the same category (50km and 150km I think), but it doesn't happen all the time. I'll pay more attention in the next time I play.
@ coolrex, no its not.... i got it plenty of time. When i was stage racer, i went on breakaways less frequently, but once i went, almost got xp all the time, for 20, 50, 100, being in top 5, top 3 etc.
Now i'm a puncher and try to break away all the time, and doing it pretty succesfully, however xp given is sooooo inconsistent.
Maybe its one per stage, but in tour of normandie im pretty sure that got 25, and 50 breakaway xp's probably 3-4 times in those 7 stage races.
@ zuff yeah it must be one of what you mentioned, or also something different.
@ qaiqiro yeah if you could take a notice and report
'Giro Belvedere di Villa di Cordignano' - 6 April - got the 25km and 50km xp
'Giro dell'Appennino' - 26 April - got the 25km and 50km xp
'Giro della Toscana' - 28 April - got nothing
So, yeah... it's strange. It doesn't seem to be once per level, or race, or even per week.
There clearly is a bug in regard to experience gained from breakaways, but it seems to be fairly inconsistent when exactly it triggers. In my experience it is only some of the continental race bonuses that are bugged and thus can trigger in all kind of races regardless of category.
The issue appears to be with the 25/50km continental breakaway and top 5 in continental race bonuses, which all triggers repeatedly in various races even when you have already achieved all available bonuses for the given category.
As for the exact conditions for when they trigger I am not certain, but it seems that they only trigger when you (in addition to breakaways) also complete other already completed or new bonuses.
For example if you break away on stage 1 of a stage race of a category that you have already raced (say 2.1) the 25 and 50 km breakaway bonuses seem to always trigger if you also manage to get the mountain jersey or top 5 on the stage i.e. complete other bonuses for that particular race.
Later in the career you will also notice that these bonuses repeatedly trigger in world tour races when you win stages or get top positions after breakaways. But as I said, I'm not sure if this is necessary for the bonuses to trigger, I have just noticed that they always do when these conditions are met and that they otherwise are sporadic.
and report
