Whilst I agree that Sagan is not a good a sprinter as Kristoff, Bouhanni and Degenkolb etc guys that were always on 79 and 80 etc with him. The problem with putting Sagan down lower on sprint is that he's never going to contest the 'points jersey' in the TdF something he's won of course 3 times in a row and usually by winning some stages but mostly by being a consistent finisher in the sprints.

By putting him down so low to say 78/77 (as I've seen) he's never going to compete in the points jersey competition and will have no chance of winning it, unless the the likes of Cave, Kittel and Greipel get eliminated in the big mountain stages which usually doesn't happen.

Sagan sprint no more than 77. He's the most overrated cyclist.

At stage 5 of the Tour de France this year, Contador was the strongest in the HIll, he was a little bit stronger than Nibali, so pls both the same stat, like 80.

For somebody so overrated he's won the points jersey 3 times in the TdF, how do you think a sprinter with 77sp is going to do that?

Sagan needs to be 65 SP. He's such an asshole. I mean, you are not a sprinter when you get 5 podiums and 9 Top Five places at Tour, on (mainly) flat stages...

Now guys, check his results on PCS. He perhaps doesn't have many wins, but guy was Top 5 (mostly on podium, as you can see) in literally 90% flat or hilly (sprint) stages he participated. If you want, you can compare him to guys that are 78 and 79 SP and see that they are nowhere near to him. Yet, you come here and keep saying he's the most overrated guy... Wow.

By the way, please do not use "look at his Vuelta results" argument. He and Cannondale clearly announced that he won't sprint in first week of Vuelta and that Gatto will be their first pick. He's preparing for WC, so that's a smart decision.

Yep. This is why we need new attributes in order to make riders race like they would in real life. For example, intelligence, which would allow Sagan to perform as well as he does in the sprints whilst really not being that strong a sprinter. There should also be rider traits such as willingness to compete for green jerseys and such.

I was going to mention that the game attributes don't take rider intelligence into consideration as well and that's the problem with Sagan. But as the game doesn't recognize this I would keep him the same level as sprinters like Kristoff, Bouhanni and Degenkolb which is around 79-80 and even then he's still going to struggle against the likes of Cave, Kittel and Greipel in the TdF points jersey competition (unless you're controlling Cannondale as your team)

I also think of the sprinters as being two types anyway:

The pure stage sprinters like Cave, Kittel and Bouhanni and the game AI usually does this well, but then there are the classics sprinters like Sagan, Degenkolb and Kristoff etc who need big stamina attributes for one day races and if Sagan were at just 77 he's never going to win the Milan San Remo (traditional route) Gent-Wevelgem and Paris-Tours all big sprinters classics.

So yeah, just give him 85 and he will always win points jersey!... He can't even win a sprint in TDF, so if you want to make game realistic than he should not be over 78 or he will win stages (that is impossible in reality).

"at just 77 he's never going to win the Milan San Remo"
WTF? Wake me up when he wins it. Thats the reason he's overrated, because you talk like he already won it.

I said 80 max and not 85, so don't exaggerate! 5 points is actually a huge difference anyway, btw you may not realize it but he has won 4 stages of the TdF over the last couple of years, try doing that on 77/78 sprint!

How can the game be possibly realistic if he were on just 77/78 for the points jersey in the TdF?

Attribute wise he's designed to win races like the Milan-San Remo and Gent-Wevelgem and he's won the second and finished second and fourth in the MSR. You try doing that with lowly sprint stats against other sprinters like Kristoff and Degenkolb. If his competition were the likes of Hutarovich and Bos then it would be a different story.

I take all my previous opinions back on Froome and Mountain State, he is nowhere near last year's form. Contador is the strongest this year.

Mountain:
83: Contador
82: Froome, Quintana
81: Nibali, Rodríguez

You know... he was a bit unlucky, too. Take a look at stage 2. If Sagan had attacked, everyone would have gone after him. So basically he had to decide whether to use his energy to catch up the guys who were attacking or to stay in the pack and give the win to the late "breakaway".
He was also a bit unlucky with a puncture within the last kms. In another stage he started sprinting a bit too late when Trentin beat him by a needle and in one stage he took Kittel's wheel, but Kittel decided not to sprint, so Sagan got stuck.

I think that the peloton + some misfortunate events were biased against him. Just look at Froome; he's always there when someone falls on the ground, resulting in his fall too.

Maybe we should wait for the end of season. Otherwise you'll change the stats after every stage Wink

I'm for a 78.50.
We should really think about it.
78/83 should suit perfectly, though. His acc stat will completely compense his sp stat.


I would give Sagan 77/85. His acceleration means he can place well but his sprint stat would ensire he doesn't win.

85 is really too much since sagan competes in cobbles and hilly classics, too.
However 77 is too low. 78-83 suits.


Sagan still can accelerate very quickly in hills and cobbles. Sure he isn't brilliant at either but he can definitely deliver the fastest. acceleration of anyone.

But he's already on 83! He will accelerate better than any other classic's rider!

2. Nibali is the only of the big four mountain guys who has ever done okay at the Ardennes or any hilly classic. He should be better than the others at hills whilst Contador is next as he performs the best in hilly stages. Nibali: 79 Contador: 79 with lower stamina, Froome: 78 and Quintana 77.

Nibali only successful of them in Ardennes, orly? https://cqranking....ceid=17137
Also Contador was 11th in Fleche 2011 and 9th in Liege 2010.

You can not take results of 2010 or 2011 really in consideration for a 2014 db I think that Contador and Nibali should anyway be on the same level on HI.
