As discussed in another thread I would like to know how many races it is safe to put my riders through. There were no definitive answers there, but I have seen it suggested that there is a "rule" with max 40 days for young riders and max 60 days for elder ones.

This seems very unrealistic. Some real life examples (taken from Team Columbia according to feltet.dks rider stats 2008):
Kim Kirchen (72 days)
Edvald Boasson Hagen (59 days)
Bert Grabsch (72 days)
Mark Cavendish (82 days)
Thomas Lövkvist (89 days)
George Hincapie (75 days)
These numbers shows that it would be fairly impossible to go through a realistic calender of races with the 40/60-rule.


Have anyone gone through longer careers some knowledge and tips on this matter?

pozzato, basically the most stupid cyclist around

Anyone else have experience on this?

If this is the case. Is it anyway to edit the game so that it gets more realistic (as it is no way realistic that one should limit riders to 50 days of racing!)

i Have around 69-71 race-days per rider. This means that maximum condition is about 86/87 for my riders at the last stages of the year. Thats good enough to play some role in the tour of poland and the final racesin oktober. Just check out fatigue-levels whiile making trainingsceduals

Well if the AI does the same amount of race days then it's not a problem becuase it's equal (and realistic)

Riders should be more tired at the end of the season, it's normal
