There is something strange in our Division (4:6).
A rider (Trifu) won today's stage in the Vuelta 11 seconds in front of the second.
But he still has 99% fitness, so can one win a race while riding on 'Save fitness'? Or is this a bug?

Of course it is possible..
example: rider on 70% rides at 70% of his value
rider on 60% (save fitness) rides at 60% of his value
If 60% of his value is still better than the other riders, then he will win.
Don't forget peloton is mathematics!

Still, i don't think it should be possible.
But he probably would have a real high skill on downhill and therefore he won.

A rider on save fitness doesn't attack, so I can't imagine that he will be able to drop the peloton while riding on save fitness.

Well, it was on the last part he got away (downhill).
So if he has 7 on downhill and riding only at 1% fitness he still would be going faster than someone with 2 or 3 going at 5% of fitness.
So this would also work: a rider with mountain 20 and on save fitness would go faster uphill then riders with mountain 10 and going at 5% of fitness. This makes the sprint and TT less important.

Not sure what you meant about 1% or 5% fitness. A guy losing 1% is riding at 60% effort. So if his effective skill on the downhill is 7... that at 60% effort and 100% fitness his level is 4.2. A guy riding at 100% effort will lose 35% fitness. At 100% effort and 100% fitness with an effective skill on the downhill of 2.... his skill is 2. If you have a bunch of 2's and 3's in downhill riding at 70% (1.4 or 2.1)... a 60% at 8 or 9 can easily get away. Much of the game is having your riders strong in areas others are weak. Especially at attack points and the finish. |
