We decided to go high on the Tour editions, so I see no reason why not 2 editions for each tour here. Just reduce the one day race editions on the days with 3 parallel tours. Money in small fields is still an issue, but it should not influence the race calendar. While big fields are more fun not man...

There could be a case for a moderate rules change, but some suggestions, e. g. Chense's, are far too restrictive. It could hit teams that are fair, but have no interest in being online all the time if they missed the group and have no intention to ride against it. Much is policed by the managers the...

Is it possible that riders in autotempo keep normal or alone tempo? At so moment, I have to reset the setting each km to make it work. It would help in really close fights to stay in the race. Riders without tempo should still be set to shared. Being able to drop riders to help their teammates alrea...

Well, I add my opinion as well. I do not think we have enough teams for five Editions of the Tour. Riding in small fields (or whatever you want to call them) earns lots of money but is no fun. So 2 points against 5 Editions. For The two June tours, just keep to the calendar. Riding the races on the ...

No Fourier? He is made for the Maglia Ciclamino!

I do not see a chance, winning flat stages brings so many points. Even the hilly stages are hard to win and I would have to bring the low reg support.

Maybe I switch him in if top 5 in flat stages is realistic.

So the sleepwalker edition for me as well. As the mountains are too high for Frederick and I do not want to bring a hillsprinter team it means the focus is on flat and reg. With my team, that means reg is just bad and not disastrous. 1 - Pablo Yapuchura - may be his last big captaincy 2 - Ralf Reski...

I suggest a small fine if the accusations are completely unreasonable.

If we define cat 4 as classics it would be a good idea to add "Monument wins" and "Grand Tour wins" as palmares entrees.

Maybe remove the automatic relegation of inactive teams that sold all their riders. Base relegation in earned points instead of riders in the team would help as well.

Is there a Race created for Quito - Tena? Cannot find it in the Race Editor Tab.

There is now. Looks like I was not able to handle the editor correctly when I designed it.

Has anybody time to look after my riders next Friday (02.02.24) and/or Saturday(03.02.24), 20 h at Etoile de Bessèges? The job would be to keep the leader close enough in GC for the TT on Sunday. Please write me a PM.

As you can block your own attack, I guess he sec-tricked him out of tempo for the attack. You guess? Have you seen it or is this just speculation? Yes I should not have put myself into this heated situation. From the discussion so far I just do not see how he gained an advantage. But I see that AGF...

This might be controversial for some managers who ride her forever, but I no longer see the point in min-tact. When the game started ages ago slow internet connections were still a thing and the min-tact reduced the disadvantages for managers with slow connections. Now updates are nearly instant and...

3 more races in Africa.

4 races in Asia, 3 in India and 1 hard race in the Philippines http://cycling4freaks.com/radsport/Bilder/profiles/india0.png?1700255207172 http://cycling4freaks.com/radsport/Bilder/profiles/india1.png?1700255207172 http://cycling4freaks.com/radsport/Bilder/profiles/india2.png?1700255207172 http://cy...

2 more one day races, one in Nepal and one in Iran.

A couple of new 1-day races. A sprint race in Ethiopia and some races in Hawaii that are not seen as good enough for a tour (stop the steal, how could the greatest country on earth lose?). http://cycling4freaks.com/radsport/Bilder/profiles/ethiopia0.png?1699644483665 http://cycling4freaks.com/radspo...

If you do not like design competition, so be it. I think the game looses out as it is a way to draw new designers into it and helps us to find tours that draw more interest. Nevertheless, we need some feedback on the races and a replacement of weak tours. Participation could be a criterium, polls af...

Let us discuss the future of the Andes. Riding it for the first time and watching some other editions it has become too extreme. The fields are often paralyzed by fear of losing riders and the inability to recover between stages. It might be fun if 2 or 3 strong teams battle it out, but we do not ha...

Or easier, just ignore it in the in-race calculations.

Hawaii Winter Race Welcome the best place to be in December Hawaii. The organizers provide a short presentation of the 13-day tour (including 1 rest day). They want to apologize for using metrics units as most of the riders and managers are European and therefore not intelligent enough to work with...

If you still need a 3-day tour in the off-season, this is my suggestion. Unfortunately, the race is pure fantasy at the moment. The race runs under the UN Flag as the territories are disputed. Day 1: 2 half stages, a short time-trial followed by a short road course in Jerusalem. http://cycling4freak...

I start this chat with a very boring sprint race in the Indian Ocean (okay near the ocean but it will be in the ocean soon) and some other races for the off-season I designed some time ago. http://cycling4freaks.com/radsport/Bilder/profiles/male0.png?1696884360030 http://cycling4freaks.com/radsport/...

1.) DO NOT adjust Salary and Covered Salary by # of Teams. (There is really no reason to adjust that, so we could just stop those subsidies.) I think this would be enough. Big Teams in small fields will no longer earn lots of money and the main problem is solved. I do not believe it is a good idea ...
