I'm not sure if i'm in right place, but i wonder where the training camps for resting is. You had some places on earlier games that you could send your riders to a rest camp, after f. eks Giro.
You should be ok with tiredness, but depends on the training schedule.
I've done the Giro and the Vuelta and it worked ok, but I had the rider train as little as possible in between and almost no build up races for Giro, some for the Vuelta. By the end of the Vuelta, tiredness was not an issue, but training fatigue was beginning to build up.
I have to say that my rider did as little as possible as he was very well protected. I think that is very important also. By the end of the Giro, I had 3 very burned out team mates. But I had them all for the leader, no sprinter and no puncheurs. My team was a bit like this.
1 Leader
5 climbing team mates (some better than others, obviously)
1 TTer (always want at least one in a GT for relay mostly)
2 Water boys (always like to have a bit of FL and MO)
I think its important to have some FL in the team. If you need to chase you want men that can do that and climbers can sometimes not be the best ones. One TTer is nice. One of the climbers was also decent on the flat and the water boys were decent also...well, at least one of them was
Giro and Tour is (theoretically) easier to pull off than Giro and Vuelta because training fatigue won't set as much.
Back with PCM10 I managed to win all 3 GT's with the same guy, but it took a massive team of helpers to shelter him as much as possible. On the Vuelta, he only won because I "told" one of my guys to wait for him, otherwise he would have won himself. He was just busted by the end.
I usually protect my captain during the entire race, even in slow, easy, flat stages.
