I would love a tutorial abouth scouting and the youth system. For the 2020 PCM i only find one in German. And I must admit my german is a bit rusty;)

[@DecathlonGamer]

I might just have to add that to the list. I still have two Career mode tutorials that I'm working on (probably next week) but my IRL business, we're hiring our first employee right now and there's a ton to do, 18 forms just for the state, another 10 or so for everyone else. Probably should have stayed self-employed, lol. p.s. my Deutsch is rusty too!

@@DecathlonGamer Haha:) I know its hard in Norway too;) I think we discussed alot of PCM matters a couple of years ago too:) Used your tutorials back then also. Expecially the part of Climb vs Hill skills was really informative. And I dont know if u remember but I really complained about the Sponsor system;) It still sucks.... But is it better? It seem getting jerseys now matters and if u get a stage win even if thats not your goal. Any thoughts?

[@jokkenilson1391]

Love your tutorial:) I do have a question. I usually do mostly as you do but i protect my best climbers by forming a "train" from the beginning. I put my best climbers in the middle fo the train while a good flat rider at the front and a sprinter as a water carrier at the back. It works out really good. I just wondered if your opinion is that by using the "protect" mode u will save more energy for the climbers. I use the train method to have total controll of the team. I just have to controll the speed of the first rider while the others just follow. To avoid unecessary energy loss i put the climbers in the middle so they have protection both front and back. If you put them all the way back they sometimes looses their position in the train and use more energy than needed getting back in the train. Of course when the climb starts I have the best climber at the end of the train going from the worst to the best. Same goes for sprinters when its a sprint race. It works really good but i wonder if the protective mode works even better. I feel its moer to controll and easier to miss a break or other incident during the race. Your thoughts:)?

[@DecathlonGamer]

That's a good method, especially putting them in the middle, and if I were to do a more advanced tutorial it would certainly come up in the conversation. I rotate between roughly what you do and protecting them. They will lose a little more energy in a train than when protected, that's the exact reason. But responding to attacks, or launching an attack yourself is easier in the train. So it's more micromanagement. If you're able to keep them close to each other in protect. The moment an acceleration begins you can quickly reform into a train and respond.

@@DecathlonGamer Thats exactly what i thought. And what ive seen trying out different methods. Expecially riders with poor flat skills loose more energy in a train. If they go above workrate 140 they start to loose energy right;)? I had a young insane climber on a 2019 save which sometimes lost to much energy on the flat of the stage. Thats why Ive tried out different methods. Wish u a great day:)

Hi guys im confused to how i can enter the race in mobile it only shows me the result

[@DecathlonGamer]

There isn't a mobile version of this game. I do believe I tried a mobile game with a similar name a couple years ago that is unrelated to this title.

[@Qvisle]

What does the red -1, -2, and green +1, +2 numbers mean?

[@DecathlonGamer]

That's RDC (race day condition) it's how the rider feels on this particular day and leads to an increase or decrease in their base attributes for the day. It's affected by a number of controllable factors that alters what's expected for the day but then is drawn at random when each stage starts, though it's drawn on a bell curve with zerp the most likely. It ranges from -5 to +5

This game sucks. It is not real. The I.A win always. Shit of game

[@Eyyyaboyy21]

You're just sucks i keep winning like 3 times on every stage lol

[@shootherunnerNo1]

You're eating those Cavendish comments now eh...

[@DecathlonGamer]

Definitely. I'm in shock by his form. Of course his second stage win, he didn't even get in the top 5 on highest speed achieved. He's largely benefiting from the best leadout. Still..what he's done at this Tour is impressive.
