Got 2 nice talents here.
The first one is a promising American sprinter. I found him with my scout, but he had some great results in U23 races too. Too bad he hasn't much potential in hills though.
The second is a Belgian cobbled specialist who was quite high on U23 rankings and as I had a scout in Flanders I ordered him to monitor this guy. And look at those stats, he is so strong already. Seems like future Tom Boonen. I must be lucky he didn't sign to any team yet as I already had team full when I found out his stats.

Van Acker looks really impressive already at age 21.

Indeed, will take a while for Schwartz to reach the top though.

Have to say, both talents look good but in my opinion Schwartz will certainly be one to watch out for in the future

Playing with officialrelease DB with random potential and .5 develop. Many riders are very weird. Smukuli 85 cob, Craddock 81 cob(etc.). I have also gotten some unbelieveable talents. Will post screenshot when I am not on my phone

Here is the beast. He is a cobbler, a sprinter, a climber, a ardenner rider. Only not a stage-racer, but bet he can win those aswell.
This is also a good one, but maybe too old for being called a talent anymore.
As mentioned before I have loads of riders with potential to beome 80+ riders.
Could also mention british puncher, 80HIL, 81STA and 72-75 in MO and SP. And 77MO with 4 stars left Slovenian.

Isn't he a bit overpowered?

His low TT-stat is likely to become an issue in GTs

Rider from Luxembourg, great climbing, pretty good on hills too, bad in TTs, quite bad acceleration - Is this Andy Schleck v2?

maybe.. but I think he is a too good cobbler (Brostein) to be compared to Schleck.

So, you are now obligated not to let him finish any race except the TdF and LBL.

Well, I won the Giro with him and won all jerseys. Going to TdF with Pinot(82MO, 70TT), but Sven will be in Vuelta I hope.
Thinking of maybe to end my career this year.
