Older cyclists decrease of usability (in-game Poll)

[Schizm]

The decrease in skill of cyclist 36 and older is much lower as most expected, especially for leadership. For all current cyclists 3 races a week as a leader is enough to more then maintain their leadership level.

So we created a poll to see what you think should happen (starting next season) :

To avoid that old cyclist can continuously be used (as teamleaders) one of the following actions should be taken (in S17) :

A - A growing chance that cyclist aged 40 or above retire.
B - Increase the negative effect of age on leadership
C - Make older cyclists more vulnerable for injuries
D - a mix of all the options above

In depth :
A -> at every season update cyclist aged 40 or above will be "asked" if they retire or not. The chance they answer yes will increase with the age. In the long run (?), this age can be lowered to 38 (or even 36).

B-> the effect of training a skill is greatly reduced for cyclist that are 36 years or older. So primary skills can only decrease, even if they are trained. But this is not the case for leadership where a 39 year gains just as much from being a leader as a 18 year old. To counter this we could decrease leadership for cyclist aged 36 or older every week with a increasing number in a way that leadership decrease is similar to that of the primary skills.

C-> the chance cyclist get injured in peloton is calculated via the hidden skill "Injury Proneness". We could increase the chance of injuries by changing that number every season (or every week with a smaller percentage).

D-> Do all this together. With a small remark, when we do this instead of one of the other options we probably lower the effects of the individual options a bit.

I think a mix of the ideas is the most realistic, but in my opinion not in lower effects because it is a mix. In my opinion you can take a good effect of A, B and C

Or you have to mix A and C by example: if a rider gets injured a total of 25 weeks in his total career, he will retire because his body can't cope with the sport anymore...

A.
From age 38 retirement.

An older cyclist has most probably a higher wage. So only the richer teams can afford him. A new contract should be reduced to max 2 seasons. (30 or perhaps 25 weeks) with a higher wage.

Older cyclists are more experienced. (Normally) So they will take less risks and avoid more falls and flats.

On the otherhand I like newborns idea too. A mix of A and C.
