I disagree ! Sky lost 28 seconds to Movistar in the Team Time Trial ; without it, Froome was the winner of that Vuelta. And Froome worked for Wiggins until they realise that Froome was the strongest. Froome was the strongest in that Vuelta, even if Cobo won it.
Too bad Cobo rode for Geox, not Movistar, who lost a second in the TTT to Sky.

Lool not false, sorry. I was too concentrated in my PCM carreer ^^
It doesn't change the fact that Froome had to work for Wiggo, and that if Froome was the leader of the team Sky, he would have been better than he was. For example, at Angliru, Froome was working for Wiggins, and then Wiggins showed his limits, so Froome worked for nothing. These kinds of examples let me think that Froome would have won La Vuelta if he was leader.
Thanks for giving Danny Pate the flat boost, I think we can all agree that it was well deserved. I would say his HI, MO, and TT should be at least a point higher each, but progress is progress. Also, I would think that Alex Hagman should have better climbing stats, since he is super strong, but I think you guys got everything else right!
I still disagree a bit with stats of Sagan and Velits, but i am probably too much biased.
Velits is 76MO and 74HILL, i think this should be at least 77/76 as he has great first week at the last years Tour, finishing in top 5 twice around riders like Gilbert and Schlecks/Contador on a tough hilly stages. Also he deserves better potential, he will be very strong in few years imo.
Sagan is the old story, 77/76 in SPR/ACC is funny low i think, rather 78/79 imo, as he is challenging all that sprinters with 80+ nicely.
But i can make these changes myself, anyway great work!
I think the Sagan stats are to stop him winning every sprint as he will usually beat most sprinter up to 80 sprint because of his hill and stamina stats meaning he is usually has full stamina coming to the sprint.
He deserves something better than 67 HIL, 74 COB and 58 MO - something like 73 HIL, 76 COB, 63 MO, his sprint (76) is way too high IMO, he should have something like 74-75.

But if he was 5th in the WC and 6th at Vattenfall, he clearly has a really strong sprint.

+1 sprint stat is correct, just hill and cobble should be better
