Category | Explanation |
Time-trialist | Time-trialists are riders that can generate high power over long periods of time in a race against the clock, therefore having the best performances in stage such as ITT (individual time-trial) or TTT (team time trial) stages. They have a more than decent performance in flat stages but they will be penalized in mass sprints and have a quite low performance in mountain stages. A time trialist is not expected to be a contender for the general classification of a stage tour race. However, they can be useful for the team along as they will have the highest performance in time-trial stages. |
Sprinter | A sprinter is a rider who can generate high power over short periods (a minute or less) allowing him for great finishing speeds. Sprinters will have a high performance in flat stages, particularly where a mass sprint is involved, while they will have an extremely low performance in mountain and time-trial stages. Sprinters are not likely to be contenders at the general classification in a stage race due to their poor performance in mountain or time-trial stages. However, they are likely to give your team some important wins in one-day races (as long as the terrain is favourable) or individual stages in a stage race. They are also expected to have a greater chance of winning secondary prizes such as the Points classification. Sprinters will be given a bonus in mass sprints, particularly against other type of riders. |
Climber | A climber is a rider who speclializes in riding uphill terrain faster than any other kind of rider. His high performance in hilly and mountain stages will allow him to win stages in these kind of stages and even be a contender for the general classification in a stage race. However, they have a very low performance in terrain such as flat and time-trial stages. Climbers will have the highest performance in mountain stages, which allow them to be contenders in stage races such as the Tour of Ardia. However, their result in the general classification will be highly determined in the number of mountain stages a stage race may have. |
Puncheur | The Puncheur or Classic rider is a type of rider who specializes in terrain with short but steep climbs. They will perform the best in hilly stages, while still having a decent performance in other terrains, such as flat, time-trial and even mountain stages. Their consistence in different terrains make them riders who may bring a number of wins in either individual stages or one-day races to your team. They may still perform well enough in the general classification of a stage race for the same reasons, although their average performance in mountain stages make them less likely to be a contender for the final victory compared to climbers and GC riders. |
GC rider | The GC (general classification) rider or all-rounder is a rider who can perform consistently in any kind of terrain (including mountain and time-trial stages) which make them great contenders for the general classification of stage race such as the Tour of Ardia. A GC rider will have a higher than average performance in every kind of terrain, even if they -unlike the previous categories- they will not have the highest performance for a specific terrain. While that may reduce their chances to win many one-day or individual stages, they are likely to be the favourites to win the the general classification of a multi-day stage race, being usually the team leader for that kind of cycling races. |
Domestique | A domestique or servant is a rider which main role is to protect the leader or most talented riders of the team, particularly in stage races. They will be useful to help the leader or leaders of the team to win the general classification. However, they are unlikely to win any race or stage, as they will have the lowest performance in any kind of terrain. While they are not likely to win many races or stages (or any at all), they can be useful for your team, particularly in stage races. They will give a bonus to the leader or most talented rider of the team. On the other hand, they will have a negative impact on the team chances to win the Team classification. |
