Imo Nibali 78 in Hills, Carapaz 77 in Hills and Froome 76 in Hills


At most Nibali would be 77 hills, remember he is past his best and keeps 80 because he did finish 2nd in the Giro. Froome is 75 to try and demonstrate his weak form at the moment and in many DB's is actually a 79 mtn. Carapaz though could be 77 hill and the hill is indeed important especially on shorter climbs.

I think Carapaz deserves 81 MO, he won the Giro in big fashion just last year and was supposed to peak for it again this year, hence the suboptimal fitness form for him in this tour, though almost winning the KOM anyway.

And Froome just now I would give him 79 in Mountain. His year is too bad

Bilbao 79/77 (77)
Caruso 78/77 (77)


Think this is a very nice list, and is a fair representation of the world of cycling.
Of course, everyone will have slightly different opinions on certain riders or stats.
I would advise you to run AT LEAST a dozen or so simulations/in-game races. See how results pan out. Getting the REC stat correct is really difficult.

Just had a full tour play through with WVA (78/78(73)) as my leader, just to see how overpowered I made him. And basically right till the last three stages I was in contention to win the tour (within 1 minute of Pogacar, Bernal and Porte) only to lose 2 minutes in the last mountain stage, and another minute in the final hilly timetrial. (mind you, thats with Poga, bernal and porte having 73-74 in TT and WVA 78)

I'll do some more testing myself, I might bump up Pinot to 70REC for instance, as the drop off in daily form really doesn't happen with 73, I was still getting good/decent recovery (what it says on the sheet before you start the stage) and getting ranges between -2 and +2 on the FOTD thing.

I think the thing with REC is, that when you give above 75, it really doesn't differ that much till you get like 80. At least not for the FOTD, it does a bit for the amount of green energy you start the stage with. Once you get real close or below that 70, the difference is pretty big though, you're much more likely to have -2 or -3 day's and you should consider yourself lucky when you'll get a 0 or +1. Conclusion: a REC of 74 or 77 is a much smaller difference than the difference between 74 or 77 MTN.

One thing I would personally change from the list you provided is upping WVA's hill stats, I'm not 100% he'd be able to follow a Alaphilipe in San Remo or beat the guys he did in Strade Bianchi with only 76.

Also, i'll be looking forward to see how you statted the TT and "support" stats, as they are nearly as important in-game

As I was bored, I took the liberty of doing 10 more simulated tours, this time i've only done the 2020 version, to keep the variance as low as possible. From these 10 sims i've gotten the following results.

I'm very satisfied by these results. My stats were only a bit different to what you're planning to do. (I've lowered my 83 CLI to 82). Of course I dont exactly know how you're planning to stat TT and the support stats. But REC was thhe same or within 1 of what you were planning.

Perhaps my Porte, Buchmann and Mas are a little low. And I don't really like how high kuss is with 81CLI, but with only 4 results to go off, hard to really give too much value to that. The only one I left out of this sheet is Valverde, He never made top 5 and was usually similar to Mollema, and thats where I want him to be.

Also Carapaz and Uran must have done something wrong, becuase they were only brought 3 times to the tour so take their results with an extra pinch of salt

Pursepad- Yes I'm fully aware of Carapaz being used badly by Ineos and am thinking between 80-81 mtn for him anyway

Aizak- Froome is like a 79 now but as said before we really don't know how he will go and I think with 80/75 he's not going to be a big threat and in my recent Tour de France with these stats he hardly featured that much anyway.

Hooligan- When I was making those REC changes I did think that the differences might need to be greater for them to have an effect so will look to spread out even further and thanks for the stat trials.

Also will be working some on the TT stats as well.

I forgot yesterday, I think WVA must be 78 in hills and you can give him 74 in climbs so he can do good races in mountain stages (like Kwiatkowski last years)

Yes he's like Kwiatkowski in the mtn dom role and it seems that most members want him with higher hill anyway.

Buchamnn and Kruiswijk 81 feels a bit high. They were good last year, but the level was not that high imo. Especially seeing them have a higher MO than Nibali, Carapaz and Thomas is just wrong imo. I mean, Nibali was one or two tactical decision(s) away from winning the Giro last year.

Also, Porte should have a higher hill stat.
Posted in another forum after the Puy Mary stage ( credits to roundabout at Cyclignews forum ):
I think Porte historically does well on these shorter effort climbs - Willunga, Malhao, short side of Leysin, Mauselaine, murito in the 2018 TdS.

Gracias Alberto.

Lopez 81 in mountain. Porte was stronger except for one stage.

TT stats:

81: Dennis
80: Campenaerts, Evenepoel
79: Pogacar, Van Aert, Küng, Castroviejo
78: T.Martin, Asgreen, Cavagna, Dowsett, Ganna, Dumoulin
77: Froome, Roglic, Thomas, Alaphilippe, Porte

Pogacar better than Ganna, Cavagna & Dumoulin? Seriously?
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

So that's 1 mountain TT in the last weekend of 3 week GT and 1 national championship (also climbing route) where he beat famous riders like Marko Pavlič and Nik Čemažar?

You know, every now and then I start to think "maybe Arberg isn't that crazy after all", and then you do something like this Grin

I wouldn't make Pogacar a better TT rider than Roglic and certainly not Dumoulin. Roglic cracked terribly yesterday but is a proven TT specialist but given the fact that Pogacar has beaten Roglic twice in mtn TT he does need to have a stat that is close to Roglic, so beating him will be possible.

To know how good Pogacar is at TT we really need to see him in a long flat TT.

Bear in mind that GT riders usually do well in TT in the final week if their rec is good anyway, so they don't need a TT stat as high as specialist like Dennis, Ganna etc

Will be revising TT for the update too but bear in mind the Worlds is very close by.

Pogacar was also fastest on the flat and has beaten Roglic twice in a row now Wink
 
Arberg
Pogacar 83 in mountain. His ascent on stage 8 and yesterday was out of this world! As well as the fact, he was winning one man over a fantastic team.
 
Tafiolmo
Interested to know how many people actually think Pogacar is worth 83 mtn?
pcmdaily.com/files/exppack/Banner/DBTeam24.png
 
cio93
Friendly reminder that there would be a decent chance he's 84mo by the time of the first GTs in a career then. I know you can't factor that in too much, but still.

Pogacar was already 36 seconds or so faster than Roglic in the flat part and his time was similar to Dumoulin on the flat part.
