100th trained riders / Et de 100 !

Written by Matrix team at 13:03 23/2-2023

   This morning, Matrix Team maxed his 100th talent ! Noud Van Aard join the long list of the riders our academy tried to bring to the highest level, ending with a very satisfaying 51 average overall, which should make him a good contender for tours in the next 8 to 10 seasons.
  
   But let's focus on today's topic : training !
  
   Matrix Team was born in season 10, so it took us 55 seasons to train (and max !) 100 riders. An average of almost 2 riders per season seems very honorable to me, especially knowing that a high max average can cost up to 400k.
   I tried not to lose to much datas about all my training projects (although i miss some of them), so i have a few numbers i'd like to share with you :
  44,54 : the overall average : it's been a while now that it stays somewhere around 44,5, and i don't think that it will change anymore.
  12 % : the more represented ending average, is 47
  2% : the less represented ending averages, are 37, 49, and 54
  53% : less than 44 ending average
  47% : 45 and more ending average
  
   However, to me, training is way more than just those numbers : it's one of my favorite game aspect, making it thrilling, and let's say half-skill-based, hoping for the best, and doing what you can with how the riders really end to be.
  
   I hope you guys enjoy it as much as i do !
  
  
  --------------------------------------------------------------------
  
  
   Ce matin, Matrix Team a maxé son 100ème talent ! Noud Van Aard fait désormais parti de la longue liste de coureurs que notre académie a fait de son mieux pour aider à révéler tout son potentiel.
  Et dans son cas, avec une moyenne finale de 51, on peut assez sereinement affirmer qu'il a les capacités d'être un prétendant aux classements généraux des tours pour les 8 à 10 saisons à venir.
  
   Mais retour au sujet qui nous intéresse aujourd'hui : l'entrainement !
  
   Matrix Team est apparu sur le circuit OCM au cours de la 10ème saison ; il aura donc fallu 55 saisons pour atteindre cette barre symbolique des 100 coureurs entrainés à leur potentiel maximum. Une moyenne de presque 2 par saison, ce qui est un chiffre tout à fait honorable quand on sait que dans le cas d'une moyenne finale haute, l'addition peut atteindre les 400k !
   Au fil du temps, j'ai tâché de réunir un maximum de données sur tous ces entrainements (même si bien entendu il y a un certains nombres de blancs qui ne pourront être comblés), et voici quelques chiffres que je voudrais partager avec vous :
  44,54 : La moyenne générale, tous coureurs confondus. Et depuis longtemps maintenant, elle ne varie qu'à la marge, et je doute qu'elle monte ou baisse significativement dorénavant ;
  12 % : c'est le pourcentage de coureurs qui ont terminé à une moyenne de 47, c'est la plus représentée ;
  2% : à l'inverse, les moyennes finales de 37, 49, et 54 n'ont eu que 2 occurrences chacunes ;
  53% : des coureurs ont terminé avec une moyenne de 44 ou moins ;
  47% : avec une moyenne de 45 ou plus.
  
   Je pourrais allonger la liste, mais plus important selon moi que ces chiffres, l'entrainement est clairement un des aspects du jeu qui me plait le plus, qui le rend excitant, dur à planifier, même si en parti au moins basé sur du management, qui fait qu'on espère toujours le meilleur résultat possible, et qu'on doit au final s'adapter avec les coureurs que l'on a au bout du processus.
  
   J'espère que vous apprécier cela autant que moi !

  But assuming a starting of av 30, ending at 44.54, it may be somewhere around 116 training points.
