Now this was unexpected..... Stijn definitely is the best cobbled rider at the moment and deserves some nice time off the bike now.

PCM rulezz - Thanks, glad you like it 
dienblad - Well it's only logical. Did you see Gilbert's legs after 2011?  keeping up an amazing form and intense racing always comes with a toll, after Roubaix his early season is over so his body shuts down for a while it's up to Willy now, in the Ardennes!

Amazing job by Willy. Quite symbolic the way he first left Cancellara behind in Ronde and then Boonen in Roubaix. The cobbles now officially have a new king!
And 2nd for Breschel in P-R

HELL YEAH!
Winning 3 monuments in a year, amazing!
I feel an unexpected turn in the story coming up though, don't get too sick Stijn!

Wow Stijn has been doing amazing lately - what about going for all 5 monuments? L-B-L and Lombardia shouldn't be too much of a challenge...

Jakstar22 - I agree, but this year it's his first time in the Ardennes and Martin is absolute leader 
krisa - Thanks!
wogsrus - Thank you!
maxime86 - Nothing can ruin it anymore
Atlantius - I hadn't noticed, but you're right the young has taken over once and for all!
Miguel98 - One of the biggest!
Jesleyh - Are you scared, yet?
Stromeon - No, no problem at all 
sutty68 - Thanks! Best early season ever!
Well, as you all know, this has been an exceptional season so far. So there's going to be a small chance, that's for sure. But what will change is up to you. Stijn is too overpowering even for me
So there are a couple of possibilities, but I don't know which one is the best, so I need your help here
1. This early season took such an effort Stijn will never be the same again. He stays pretty good on cobblestones, but his sprinting is down to the level of, let's say Goss (irl), or Roelandts. That way, he will still battle very much for classics, but he'll win much less (sprints...) He can become a power-sprinter. Super flat stages are not for him, but tough races are (like Boonen?)
2. He stays incredibly strong but the competition gets a boost and new talent rises, big sprinters. Cau gets a big upgrade and a new young sprinter makes his way in the big league.
3. His body was put to the limit and he's only a shadow of what he once was. In fact, he changes specialty and becomes more of an attacker. All stats way down.
4. Nothing changes and Stijn rules the world in ways that would make George Orwell's toes curl!
Hope to get some input and if you could, give a few arguments why. Thanks a lot!! |

Option number 2 please, and I want some ketchup and a McFlurry included.

2 seems nice, 1 is good as well, and 3 is okay, but I wouldn't lower him too much though. There are also attackers that are very good anyway(Voeckler, De Gendt f.e. though those guys have other specialities.)
So can I have 2? If you're out of that, 1 or 3 is fine as well.
How much does that cost?

Option 2 is the best for me.
And no, I don't need a receipt.

Thanks for the input so far! I have been busy updating some stats in the mean time. I still haven't decided what to do with Stijn's stats, but I figured the competition could use a boost anyway, created some more talents: some sprinters, some classic riders and a climber
Option 2 seems pretty good to me, too. I'll probably lower some stats a little bit, though. This way he's still one of the strongest riders around, but he has a lot of competition and this early season was just an unique World Champion experience |

What about an option 5? Stijn gets a serious damage at, eh, lets say the Achilles, which makes him quit training for some days, and loses shape and skills?

How do you mean? A permanent injury or a disability or something? Or all stats to 50? |
