Tour de France : Questions/Answers

And what about the bonification seconds? Is that integrated in the game? Because they are in the tdf of this year

Good point. From Wikipedia:

"Time bonuses make a comeback for the 2015 edition of the race. In the first part of the Tour, stages from second to eighth, the three first finishers of stages will earn bonuses of 10, 6 and 4 seconds respectively. Bonuses are not awarded for time trial stages. Sprint competition points system will also change. A stage win will be worth 50 points instead of 45, second place awards 30 instead of 35 and third 20 instead of 30. The sprint points rule change is aimed to make a stage win more valuable"

Game is already finished so hopefully this is correct

Initially this was the case but normally they will be in all the stages (except for TT and TTT) and not only in stage 2-8. I think it would be a great addition to the game, it stimulates attacking and it is harder to win the tdf with someone who is less good at climbing because now you could just follow the wheel of the best climber and arrive in the same time

Juste une petite question au sujet de l'état de forme aléatoire. Est ce purement aléatoire avec une probabilité d'être en méforme équivalente pour tous les coureurs, selon le niveau de difficulté ?
J'ai compris que l'effort du jour fourni n'influençait pas la probabilité de méforme mais je pensais que peut être la statistique de récupération aurait un impact...

C'est un aléatoire maîtrisé. En facile, les coureurs du joueur sont toujours en forme alors que l'IA est toujours en méforme. En normal et difficile, les probabilités sont dépendantes du profil de l'étape et du type de coureur (sprinteur, grimpeur, puncheur...). Par exemple, un grimpeur a plus de chances d'obtenir une bonne forme sur une étape de montagne qu'un sprinteur, tout en conservant des chances non négligeables d'obtenir un "jour sans".

La forme du jour est calculée de la même manière pour les coureurs du joueurs que pour les coureurs adversaires (sauf en facile). La forme du jour de tous les coureurs est affichée après l'étape. Cela vous permettra de savoir si vous avez bien profité de la "journée sans" d'un leader ou bien si vous êtes passé à côté d'une opportunité de faire craquer certains de vos adversaires.

They're integrated into the game.

Wikipedia is wrong I think. Unless ASO changed its mind and did not warned us, time bonuses are awarded for all stages (except time trials). What is written on Wikipedia is the first version ASO presented the day they unveilled the stages of TDF15 but a few months later, they extended the bonuses to all stages.

and what about bradley wiggins, is he still in team sky or in team wiggins?

and as you posted the stats of contador, would you mind to post the stats of nibali, froome and quintana as well so i could compare them to each other?

And what about the wind? I think in tdf 2014 game the wind for every stage was always the same, is it still or is it random? and does for example rainy weather have a bad influence on the riders who don't like bad weather and does the ones who like bad weather improve?

In any case, from what i read on the forums, i think you guys did a great job this year with all these improvements!

Wiggins is in an other team. I let you guess which one

"plain""mountain""hill""downhilling""cobble""timetrial""prologue""sprint""acceleration""endurance""resistance""recuperation"
"N.Quintana" "67" "82" "77" "75" "59" "73" "69" "64" "75" "72" "78" "81"
"A.Contador" "71" "82" "79" "75" "60" "77" "75" "58" "75" "73" "79" "83"
"C.Froome" "70" "82" "78" "71" "57" "80" "77" "62" "77" "74" "80" "82"
"V.Nibali" "73" "81" "79" "83" "70" "75" "75" "61" "72" "75" "78" "80"

and what about the wind?

I also never really understood what the big difference was between endurance and resistance, could you explain that also please?

and my guess about wiggins is he will be among the legends

Whereas last year the wind was always the same all along the stage, this year, it is more dynamic. The stage can start with a moderate wind that will change to a strong or light wind. On the contrary, an other stage will start with a ligth wind that will evolve to a moderate wind.

Resistance is the speed at which yellow energy decreases. Endurance allows to change this speed depending on the length of the race.
