This was a great year. Boonen cements himself as a true one-day rider. Wiles explodes onto the scene. Normality is restored at the Worlds. Its a much more balanced season. Nibali and Contador defended their titles.
Hint; in 2014 watch out for Wiles and Kelderman.

short explanaition
this was a leftover from a joke career, i forgot to delete him from the db...
he started at 73mo and hl and 70 sp and acc
i've never seen a rider develop this fast!
i meant to delete him from db at start... bit late now...
on the plus side, he wont develop any more, thats it, age19 and maxed out... i am going to edit him up to 25 over the off-season

You should edit his stats down some too, even a 25 year old wouldn't have those monster stats. |

Says who? Contador was pretty much a monster at age 23
Not even beginning about Sagan who has monster stats at age 21

Dude did you look at his stats! Their a lot better than Contador's or Sagan's.
All i'm saying is to lower his MO and HIL stats by 3 or 4.

I do have to agree with Mr_Monk, I don't know how things will be with those stats compared to other riders so ManxMissile can really only make the decision it's his story after all. I just don't want to see this story turn into an unrealistic one where Jack Wiles wins everything. |

Contador, A.Schleck, Froome and Nibali alll have 84mo
Gilbert, Gasparotto and Vilela? all have 84-85hl
i am going to edit some of them down, but im going to leave the mo and hl alone, but lowering the rest means that he shouldn't win GT's.
During the Ardennes the next bets hl were 81...

Another interesting season there! Really interesting sponsor changes... Especially Coca-Cola coming in. Was that something you did, or was it automatic? I wonder what will happen to Astana, too.
How old in Cancellara now? Will he retire at the top, or keep going? |

i refuse to mess with the games decisions, maybe unrealistic but funny
Coca-Cola was automatic but is awesome, better id Pepsi appear as well
Cancellara is not declining yet, another 2years id say. His battles with Boonen are getting better and better.
Major riders that are declining are S.Sanchez and Menchov and Evans.
Only one rider retired and that was Mosquera

Velo d'Or
1st Wiles - 1st LBL, 1st WCRR, 1st Amstel
2nd Nibali - 1st TDF, 2nd WCRR, 8th LBL
3rd Contador - 1st Vuelta, 2nd TDF, 2nd LBL
Wiles exploded this year and deserves the Velo d'Or.
Nibali's successful defense wasn't quite backed up by the rest of the year.
Contador is truly back and was unlucky not to win.

Wiles Banned!!!
Ardennes Triple winner, current WC and Velo d'Or winner Jack Wiles has been banned for doping!
A test conducted at LBL has shown positive usage of EPO.
After a CAS hearing Wiles has been handed a 2year retrospective ban.
All his results from LBL onwards have been scrapped, and he is banned until 24th April 2015.
Sky said they were stunned at the news.
His return will be eagerly waited to see what his real ability is.
Combined with the Armstrgon Saga of 2012 professional cycling is on the edge.

I'd say I'm shocked, but I'm really not.
