Procyclist starts at lvl 7?

[eddy]

Did you start at lvl 7 as well? i have a hard time getting those levels, wonder if it's a bug.

It depends on how old you decided to make your cyclist.
I personnally started as a lvl 10, 22y old cyclist.

The learning curve is broken, start as a 19 year old and have 81 in mountain when you start your 3. season. its just too much

Why I start with 19 year guy with 7 level?

[Movvy]

yeah i agree with quatos.
im not even halfway first season and i allready have 71 mountain,70 hills and 73 timetrial. (gain of aprox 5-9 points in each) i think if you reach age 25-27 you are new max stats possible.

anyway they should have an option on how quick you want too level up etc (aka howmuch is your potential)

level 26, capped and just turned new year - i am now 26 years old.
Most of my stats are pretty good, I am avg 80 rider but my acceleration, sta, and one other stat I forget now are extremely low for a top stage race rider yet I am capped at 26 with avg of 80? Quintana and several others had 83 avg, it doesnt look like I will reach those numbers.

I have won the Tour, Giro and 2nd in Espana twice now..not enough acc to hang on the steep slopes with the best climber at the Espana it seems. So whatever patch they hit it with, it definately slowed downed progression.

You never get high stats at everything, because when you trained something really high and you change your training. Other stats will decrease. Also you don't train as fast in 5th season then in 1ste season
