Increase in Leadership during a tour

[jetcat]

My leader for Vuelta has just increased his Leadership skill from 4 to 5 but I can still only use 9 Tactic Points for the remainder of the tour. If I make him a leader in another race then I get 10 Tactic Points as expected.
Is this intended, i.e. do cyclist retain their skills from the beginning of the tour? And if so, does it include all skills like Flat or Sprint etc?
It may be a noob question but I am new here and still confused about some things thanks

Hi Jetcat,

First of all, there are no 'noob question' in Peloton

Concerning tactic points of your leader, this is normal. Tactic points of leaders are set at the beginning of a tour.

Concerning skills such as flat, sprint etc of riders, I have no idea. I even never ask myself about it as I always thought it was taking into account.

As already mentioned, there are no noob questions in Peloton...

OK Thanks

I could add that the reason for this implementation is the possibility of injury (or sale) of the leader.

Indeed, tactic points are set in first race and kept fixed over entire tour.
All other skills are taken at the time of the race, so a skill pop will have influence the next race, even in same tour
