How many races per rider?

[Pepe]

Hi. Got the game recently and I have been enjoying it a lot. I was just wondering how many races you schedule for each of your riders every season. Is there month to month fatigue? Could I have my some of my riders race every single month and be ok? Is there anywhere to check month to month fatigue/recovery (if such a thing exists)? Thanks.

Heyya! There is no fatigue from entering the maximum of 9 races per season, but that means you are going to be racing when you have poor fitness levels too.

If you have a team with just 4 riders or less, then entering all of them into all races is a good choice especially early on to gain XP... if you can afford that financially!

For larger teams you want to have the maximum number of allowed riders to enter to maximize your team strength. If you have 6 riders on your team it is very likely that you can dodge all poor fitness months of entered riders or even have mostly positive fitness for all that enter. That means not every rider is racing all races.

Especially for younger riders it is important to do many races. They do get participation (finishing) XP, and also 10% of all other riders' prestige equivalent XP summed up. That means if you somehow manage to take low level rider to a tour and your leader wins for big prestige, then your novice rider will get heaps of XP (for their level at least) too.

Thanks so much for the info. Looks like I will need to tweak my tactics to maximize xp gain.
