The abilities in the official release db are a little bit strange.Sagan who did well in many prologues (beat cancellara) has just 74 there.Cunego has finished 7th in tour 2011 and 6th in giro 2012 and has 76 mountain alltohough he distanced for example nieve very often in giro (nieve has 78)
Cyanide's DB is made to make the game as realistic as possible. So even if the stats look weird, it should give 3d races the best possible results. Whether that's true or not... Well, let's just say they tried.
Also, remember that the DC was probably finished before the prologue in the Tour of Suisse, that's why Sagan's prologue is a bit too low.

I might repeat myself, but that's not the way I see it. For me, this db just shows the laziness or inabilty of the programmers to get realistic stats. For me, they didn't try to get anything correct. Time gaps or race situations might be realistic, but that doesn't justify single stats being way off. Noone can tell me that these stats lead to comparable results from these specific riders.
