Josh Edmonson still overrated! 68-69 MO/HL is all he deserves
Cadel Evans better than Van Garderen? interesting, but ok
Andy Schleck still too high
Russell Downing overrated. 70-71SP 71-72ACC
Scott Thwaites needs a CB boost, up to 65-67
Davide Rebellin overrated, HL needs a drop. Not sure how much
Graham Briggs overrated. 72/73 SP/ACC max
Ed Clancy needs a STA drop, and by a lot. Dude is a track rider! 65 absolute max
Kristian House needs an FTR boost. 73-75 is good. Can probably take an SP drop as well
Dean Downing needs an FL boost to at least 70 if not 72
Marcin Bialoblocki SP down and FL up probably only 1point though. Increased FTR to 70+
Pete Williams FTR and FL or SP increases. FTR to 72, FL or SP to 67
Wow that turned into a lot

Yes, i agree. Even his potential is only 5 now, so he has no chance to develop again.
Gesink has potential 6, while still rated very strong. I think that's also odd, because nobody being near as good as him has such a high potential. Rolland, Pinot, Froome, Contador, Nibali, Schleck, ... all have lower potential.
I think it's a good thing too lower some of the potentials, but if so Gesink is very overrated right now. But yeah i know, many Gesink fanboys here.  |

Contador, Hesjedal and Evans should have their MO stat lowered, whilst Nibali and Aru should have them boosted.

Andy has been crap since the start of 2012. He got injured and returned for the Vuelta, and now 8 months later he is still crap.
Ballan had a great spring 2012 including 8th in MSR, 3rd in RVV, 3rd in P-R. He was also good in the fall classics, winning a stage in Eneco tour. He then got injured and has been injured since.
The two are uncomparable. Andy has been worse than Cunego for the last season and a half, worse than Basso, worse in fact than 90% of the pro peloton.... |

Oh and Andy should get a higher potential to make sure his stats restore throughout your career.

This is simply wrong. He wasn't riding the Vuelta and, according to him, his injury didn't let him train properly until January. And if you compare him to Beloki, you can see he was never the same rider again. But i can live with lowering his stats, but with potential 5 he will never be "good" again and you simply can't say that by now. |

At least Aru deserves higher than 73MO, he was very strong in Trentino. I'd say 74/75-ish.

Andy has finished something like 3 races since June 2012. He hasn't won a stage since July 2011. He hasn't won a stage race ever.
Give him Potential 6-7 and drop his stats to 71-71.
Currently we are saying he is comparable to Tommy Voeckler... hmmm

Do whatever you want. I just think that you are wrong. I adapted database already how i think it should look alike. No problem there!

Memorial Frank Vandenbroucke then. 7 instead of 8 months of racing later, still crap. Not being able to train 'properly' is not a valid excuse for his abandoning, especially since the excuse is coming from mr. Excuses Andy Schleck himself.
You indeed can't say he'll never be good again, but will he ever be able to come close to his 2011 level? I don't really think so.
And before I get accused of only looking at things from one perspective, I too feel like Gesink should have a lower potential as well. Both Andy and Robert will probably never get to the level of let's say, Ryder Hesjedal in the 2012 Giro anymore.

Wow Im not an Andy Schleck fan, but hey this guy "won the Tour in 2010 and was 2 times 2". I learned too deal with the overated Gesink over the Years but this is really to much. I cant see why Gesink who has been crap over the Years in Grank Tours with a 6 place 3 years ago in TDF keeps Grand Tour contender stats while a really Grand Tour contender get this massive drop in his stats. Gesink is never in top form, he gives a damn about every race but his main objectiv (where he manage to perform bad or crash) and as a reward he gets a 6 potencial???

I think Andrey Amador deserves 72-73 in TimeTrial after his 2nd and 3rd place on the Tirreno TT. And 67-68 in Cobblestone after his top ten in GW.
Betancur on 77-78 in Hills, Henao the same, I think their made a great ardennaise classics 
And I wouldn't down Andy stats under 80 in Mountain, I trust that he will return to his level.. |

On exclusion by doping, I may add. Sorry, STEAK doping. And also, Andy seems to be good, until "the" injury aforementioned. Since, he has not proven return from it, but the GTs this year will herald if Andy will have a second coming.

Andy's stats are perfect, imo.
I'm glad he has been dropped at last.

You contradict yourself. Appearently, you didn't learn to deal with Gesink.
Gesink got 6th in the last GT from Cycling. He was not in a great form there, he had a little bit less preparation than the others(crash recovery) and Vuelta wasn't his peake(Conta and Moreno, and also guys like Rodriguez a bit f.e totally peaked here I think)
Yes, he crashes in his peak races, but since there is no 'crash' skill at the moment, that doesn't say anything about one of the PCM abilities. In that case, Andy should be lower than Gesink, because Gesink actually achieved something the last years. And Gesink got 4th times in the Top 7 of a GT, not just the TdF 2009
If Gesink doesn't crash in the Giro & TdF, I think Gesink can make Top 5 in one of them this year, which is good/okay for 79 MO, don't forget that!!!
And about the potential, don't forget that Gesink is about the youngest rider from the best, say, 10 Stage-racers. I think even Froome is a little bit older(they're about the same)
It would be only logical if Gesink develops, he's only 26(27 if he just had his birthday, idk )

Jesleyh,stop being fanboy and try to speak honestly. Okay, so no "crash at Dauphine" and "bad training" at PCM, so give Schleck 81! He was winner man! I just cant believe that someone puts Gesink , which whole team is working for him and he still cant get top10 in some nonGT races,what the fuck will he search for at GTs? We will see after Giro, i can say that Schleck is way too underrated,and why Evans is still 78-79 and Schleck not? What that good Evans did to get that stats? Seems like this .cdb was made by fanboys....
