Hi everyone,

First time playing PCM again since i think 2012 (bought one in between but have maybe 2 hours on it).

I'm loving the pro cyclist mode but i wonder if i'm managing my pro cyclist correctly?

I'm at the end of my 2nd season (20 years old) , am level 13 with the following stats (not going to include them all since there's some stats that haven't even gone up yet):

-73 flat
-68 hills
-77 cobblestones
-67 sprint
-68 acceleration
-66 stamina
-64 resistance
-63 recovery

Those are my stats that i've been leveling so far , i think i've invested 3 levels in northern classics and 2 in sprinter

Now, every time i level up i get like 3 stats +1 and 2 stats +2.

Is this normal or am i supposed to be developing a bit faster?

At this rate i wonder if i'll be somewhat good by age 25 or so.

Your development depends a lot in winning or getting good results. You get extra points for doing the team requests too.

I've met the team requests in about 90% of the races so far and i've won 1 stage in a stage race and 1 one-day race (which got me the requirements for participating in races like scheldeprijs , paris-tours etc) and got some decent results.

So i'm guessing this devevelopment isn't slow but just normal then?

Stats gain is random but also affected by the type of training you have selected when you increase in level.

The farther you are from your limit in a specific stat, the faster it will rise. So my advice is focus on the worst stat because the others will climb by themselves unless they're close to their limit.
