Finishing fourth in Ronde Van Vlaanderen is a great result when you look at the talent that was in front of him

1. Great reports!
2. I really think the results are not normal. A rider in his 2nd year as professional wins Gent-Wevelgem, gets 4th in Vlaanderen and now wins Paris-Roubaix.... Or you must have given him extraordinary high stats, or you play on a too low level. And too be honest, that makes the story less interesting to follow.
See for yourself what you're gonna do with this, it is just my humble opinion.

@dienblad & mailo: I'm glad you like the reports, at least
I understand your criticism, but I'll just say a couple of things:
1. It's a story/game, so in my opinion some things can happen that could never in real life.
2. I wanted to make a story about 2 guys really writing history in cycling. So they're toptalents. I took a guess about their starting abilities and the speed of development. I agree that I wanted to build up more, but that's just the way it's gone.
3. Now's too late to change anyway, they can't go back to being less good after this, that'd be weird, I think.

Unless everyone feels this way? But I'm looking forward to seeing if Stijn can beat the record of De Vlaeminck, if he can do the quadruple etc... May not be too realistic, but those are things I had in mind for him. He won't win everything every time, definitely not, he had an excellent run this season, won't always be like this! But I think you know what I mean.
