Pro Cycling Manager 2024- Is going above 85 worth it? (read description)

[@RomanGrosshausen]

you could try if its more effective to protect a rider wether then following a domestique in the wheel

[@bejkrsk]

I have something else cooking up, but this is on my list yes :)

[@kraknoix0075]

I second this one. Some people make a mountain sprint train, others set tempo with the leader and have domestiques protect 1 by 1. Idk which one is faster

[@epy8854]

Yeah that's what I want to know too. For me I want to know between those two strategy which one are using less yellow on the gc rider. I have been only using the first method and so far it always delivered a good results​@@kraknoix0075

Good video thank you a lot

[@GettingGoodatGeoGuessr]

This is great. Theres loads of things like this I would love to see. Does going 99 effort on flat only take flat into account or does the sprint rating come into play at all seeing as it is a max effort. Im not sure how best to construct my leadouts basically if i have a guy with monster flat but crap sprint where in the line should he be

[@bejkrsk]

I have a similar-ish video being prepared, I will defo get to this as well eventually!

[@Justintanega]

Your name isn’t amogsus. It says your name is Bejkr SK. Nice video tho

[@andreasabels589]

Would it be faster to use an effort that uses up both bars exactly at the top? Like, would you be faster running 84 or 83 or even 80 compared to 85?

[@bejkrsk]

Yes, indeed. I probably should have included that in the video too but if you check out the description I did an off-screen 83 pace test (which, normally, should be faster by the same amount 85 is compared to 87 because the difference in pace is 2) which yielded only a 35s difference, clarifying that 86+ paces use yellow bar disproportionately.

[@kraknoix0075]

This is very logical no? Going above 85 is attacking, which is known to not be sustainable. If you enter a climb on your own, it makes no sense to sprint full out. You only use it to make a difference. I don't think anyone was tackling mountain TT's in the style of going 92 and then running out of yellow halfway. The optimal strategy to me is following a teammate who is going 85+ but the leader is going less effort because of draft.

[@bejkrsk]

yes it is logical, my point was to explain how going above 85 disproportionately affects your yellow bar consumption (check description about the 83 vs 85 comparison), thus making avoiding for as long as you can optimal.
