Hi! I'm 23yrs as stage rider. Lvl 33 with mountain at maximum untill now. I lost one point in mountain without apparently reason. Do you know why I'm losing skill points during my career?
I use hard training at the beginning of the year and than I use "green" training for the rest of season..
But in the previous versions, loosing points in a stat (mountain in your situation) is not related to the amount of effort you put in training but to the evolution you do when you level up.
As an example:
If when you level up you choose sprint as your next improvement (in order to get more acceleration), it's likely that your mountain stat will be dropped since a sprinter doesn't need the mountain stat...
Actually this is a bug that seems to be carried over to each new version like so many. If you reach 85 in a stat then the next level up will reduce it by 1. If you have another level up again you can get it back to 85. I noticed this happening with the mountain stat so I can't confirm if it happens with any other stats so it could be mountain only but it happens regardless of chosen level up (i.e. it's not because of choosing say Sprinter it happens regardless). The easiest way around it is to use an editor to restore it back to 85 although you should probably still be able to win most climbs with 84 anyway.

Actually this doesn't only happen with the mountain skill or when you get it to 85. It can happen to any type of rider and any attribute if you get it to his potential maximum. For example if you have a time trialist and you get his sprint to 66, then it will decrease the same way as your climber's mountain skill would.
