Oh, I assumed 55-65 was like the prime stats and that you could only move above 55 by using skill points. If you can free pick any value between the two for non-primes that thats cool. Still might nerf the prologue skill a little for flavour though. |

Infact, Time Trialist is just plain awful on second look. Fighter > TTer if you wanna be good in TTs really. Acc is only gonna really have much impact on a mountain TT. Which is like, hardly ever. TTs with sub 5% climbs are pretty common though.
Shouldnt Fighter really have Fight rather then hills? Seems odd that its called a fighter but can select 55 for fighting XD.
Name - Flair Adams
Nationality - GBR (England)
Favourite races - Tour of Britain, Tour Down Under
Age - 18
Weight - 60
Height - 178
Type of rider – Stage Racer
History of rider - Little known. No formal racing background, a bike rider from the age of 10 racing with his friend. Came into prominance after entering a recent "Race with British Pro's" event arranged around the Olympics, where he showed great form by keeping up with some of Team Sky's British riders even as they put a showboating burst on up Box Hill. Sky are said to have almost agreed terms, but with no official announcement yet this young rider is likely to be open to more offers.
Team – Unsigned
Stats - 73 REC - 69 MO - 69 TT - 68 PR - 65 STA - 65 RES - 65 HI
63 ACC - 60 DH - 60 FL - 53 SP - 52 COB
Unlisted stats 58.
Rider also comes with an awesome mouth that could be either an incredible marketing tool or a PR disaster.
((PM or post here if you want to recruit my rider.))

Tell him to be ready to be signed by Garmin as soon as his contract runs out. We like having family on 1 team. |

If he signs for a team we will sign him when his contract runs out but if he doesn't we will try to sign him next season. |

Ok. Here goes. If its wrong, please don't tell me off, I don't exactly get the rules. Just notify me of any errors and I'll try to rectify them
Name - Taylor Lowe
Nationality - New Zealand
Favourite race- RvV, P-R, M-SR
Age - 23
Weight - 72
Height - 184
Type of rider – Northern Classics
History of rider - Growing up in the southern pas of New Zealand's North Island, Taylor originally started believing he was destined to be a sprinter. However, a local race of very uneven and hilly roads gave the impression that (despite winning from a bunch sprint) Taylor was going to be something different. After moving to Australia with his parents at 17, Taylor began riding more and more, and after success at the local racing scene, he got asked to go to Europe to race. He moved to Flanders with 3 or his racing buddies, and being in the middle of Flanders, he couldn't resist the temptation of riding the cobbles of the Famous Hellingen. While riding over a particularly bad section with his friends, he punctured, and not having a spare on him, he decided to continue riding. With his friends seeing that he had a puncture, they sped up, trying to drop him. He stayed with them all. Again, they speed up and again, he stayed with them. Determined to see just how fast they could all go along the cobbles, all 4 of them maxed it out, with Taylor going almost twice as fast as his next friend. The 3 friends decided he needed to be tested, and entered him in the Paris - Roubaix Director Sportif race and won it, set a new record and got spotted by a Vacansoleil Scout.
Team – Vacansoliel
Stats - FL: 72
MO: 61
HIL: 71
TT: 65
PRL: 64
COB: 75
SP: 69
ACC: 69?
DH: 63
STA: RES: REC: FTR: These all have to be 55 - 65?

Oh ok. My original question about the other stats was because if you have 55-65 in your rec, res and sta you probably won't do that well... |

Thats true, but don't forget that many riders will have that problem 
Since everyone is -7'd and other custom riders also have low stats in that.
