As a manager who has a fitness trainer for four seasons already, I can tell my experiences.
Training on fitness means indeed that you miss training on a skill. If you do that with the same cyclist more than once in a season or every season, de indeed misses valuable training considering his opponents.
So, if you do it, it is an extra tactical option. It can bring you something, but it can also cost you.
In almost all cases I did it, it hasn't brought me what I had hoped for.
I like that there is an update between tours. It makes it harder and therefore the tactical aspect is bigger. It gives you more options and training fitness is a given skill to train.
It would be the same that I complain that there are downhill sections in races because I choose to not train on hill.
If you don't have tours with updates between them, why do you keep the option to train on fitness the?
Training fitness is something you should do if you need the points to win the league or avoid relegation.
Then about the calendar. People keep complaining that this is a flat calender.
Past years people kept complaining that mountain was way to decisive.
Now they complain about flat. And even with that I don't agree. Hill is very important in the beginning of this calendar. Especially the combination flat/hill.
In first division, Franconia has a big lead. Franconia isn't a flat trainer, but he has a lot of good cyclists in the combination flat/hill. That is why he is leading (and because he plays the game very well tactically, of course).
