I think everybody has some riders with a good timetrial skill that don't ride the big tours. So, I like to see more timetrials except from those in these tours next season. Maybe some tours of 3 days can be extended to 4 and we can have a individual timetrial somewhere at the end of next season.

it will probably be difficult to all of a sudden add way more tt, flat, mountain, sprint to this game, cause people have chosen their trainer and cyclists based on the amount of each discipline in the game and the races/tours they want to excell in.

Adding some timetrials won't change this. Just add 1 flat timetrails, 1 mountain, etc... for intance. |

True but at this stage noone is training TT, downhill or sprint because it is, not yet ?, profitable. When adding more TTs you encourage to train TT-specialists and thus a market. |

some might train tt, but that isn't the only point. We've all selected the cyclists that we want to work with. If a manager has decided to specialize his team for the smaller tours, attracting cyclists that are suitable for those tours, he won't be happy to find out that he all of a sudden needs time trialists for those tours, when his lack of such cyclists forced him to compete for the small tours in the first place. The same goes for adding 300km of mountain to the tour de france, or adding 500km of downhill to the vuelta. The overall aspect of a tour/race, or if not that, the season, should largely be the same throughout the different seasons to keep it fair for everyone.

Adding 2 or 3 time trials isn't a big change. It won't affect the teams that much, especially because every team will probably have the same kind of not-trained time trial cyclists. I think you're overstimating the impact of this.

You have to consider that at this stage who train TT could save a season with 2 or 3 more TT. It would be a great change for them.

I hope Il P. takes more timetrials in consideration. Not because training TTs will become more populair, but now the timetrial talents of some riders can be used. Otherwise it is a quit useless skill in my opinion.

and after that, he could add some races that only have downhill. As it is now, downhill training is useless. Some people have great downhill talents, but there aren't enough suited races for them.

The TT-skill you use every tour ... twice!

And you don't win races on downhill, you could just train flat then but if you train TT you'll win every TT there is and that's about 7 I think... More than some teams win in normal races on a whole season
