Riders roles
wroblitz
Does it make any difference what role you give to your riders when you play 3D mode or it only matters when it comes to simulation?

Im pretty sure it only affects simulation mode.

I think it only affects simulation because you control what they do in 3d

Yeah, I know you're in complete charge in 3D mode (what's the roles for then?) but what I meant was more stuff like team mate is not as efective as free role rider in breakaways, sprinter will do better at last 3 km when he knows from the beginning what you expect from him, leader's morale is more likely to drop down if he won't end up as your best rider, etc. Anyway I was 99% sure that it doesn't have any impact but that 1% made me post this thread... and in fact it's still there.
Anyway, thanks to both of you for quick as always replies.

I can with 100 % certainty say that "team mate is not as efective as free role rider in breakaways, sprinter will do better at last 3 km when he knows from the beginning what you expect from him, leader's morale is more likely to drop down if he won't end up as your best rider" won't happen as long as you're playing in 3D.

The only thing is that I have noticed from is that, from time to time, riders complain about the roles that you've given them during a race if they don't match the general rules that they have on your team. This affects the morale.

Yes, but my experience is that they only complain after you simulated a stage. I can pick 4 captains to participate in a race when I play 3D but as soon as I simulate one stage they are starting to complain.

There is one thing though which is important about the roles. Your captain will never have a daily form of -5.
