Hi,
My idea is quite simple to explain, but difficult to make.
We have a cycling team for all ages now (18-ever). My idea is:
Every team can have a youngster cyling team too. In that team, you can have cyclists from 14-18 ages. If you cyclist is 18 or older you can add him to your 'normal' team. If your cyclist is 19 or older you can't use him for the youngster stages.
Every week you can add a new cyclist to your youngster team and you can add 1 cyclist to your 18+-team each week.
I'm sorry for bad english, but I'd like to have some comments on my idea.
Sverige -> Zatarra, Zatarra Cycling Team, The Netherlands, Division 3:2.

Yeah, I also play Hattrick and I'd love to manage a youthteam  . I also think is ahrd to script, but if they manage to cript it, it could be a fantastic extra option in Peloton . Sverige |

I'd rather see introduced some extra 'smaller' races at which one could enter his younger riders. Preferably with some kind of cap / upper limit, like age (U23 for instance).
If would be more cycling-like and less football-like.

I agree with Rattlehead : I would also like to see some specific races for youth like the baby-giro and so on ...

I prefer sverige's ideea. A junior team, diferent from the "big" team, with players from 14 to 18 years would be super.

If you have stages for cyclist not older than 23, it's rather unfair, because there are team which only have cyclist younger than 23 years old. Cyclists of 14-18 years old can't be very good but ofcourse the scouts could discover a talent who can be an excellent trainnee in your "big" team. If this is a good idea will it be used?

If you have stages for cyclist not older than 23, it's rather unfair, because there are team which only have cyclist younger than 23 years old. Not many, I guess. I see more and more riders becoming over 30y old. And in top divisions, riders at the age of 25 or younger don't stand much of a chance against the talented and thus much more heavy trained ones of around 30. Let alone the ones of 19 to 22 years old. If those are talented, once you sure will benefit of them. But it will still take like 5 more seasons before they would start scoring. I do feel the difference between a rider with 15 flat vs. one with only 14 flat should exist, but be very minimal. It should be only a fraction of the difference between 5 flat and 4 flat. This way, tours would become more close. Now, in some 3 stage tours the 10th rider finishes 15 to even 30 minutes behind. That's even more than in real life in a big tour after 21 stages. But hey, that's a totally different discussion of course. Though somehow, it all relates. |

I would suggest to ad extra spots for youngsters in each race, for example, the 5 normal spots as it is now + 2 extra spots for bikers with a maximum age of for example 22 (This must be possible as it is possible to set age limits in the funraces).
I would set the age for the youngster jersey higher, for example also 22. This is more realistic and seems more logic to me as you can scout youngsters till the age of even 23.

Especially setting youth cap to 22y wouldn't be bad, I guess.
