I'm quite bothered by Kreuziger's performences in the Tour this year, after low GC results the former years. I find it now difficult to give him realistic stats, I fear that I over-/underestimate him if his stats are to high/low.
I'm planning to give him a high climbing stat (79) with a lower recovery (74-75) and endurence stat(70-73). Or should I lower his climing stats, but compensate it with better recovery? What do you guys think?
Wait till after the TDF. Their recovery stat will be shown over the next days. I donĀ“t know why he should have better climbing than Contador, after all Contador beat him today, and have been top class for many years.
I agree with high MO, but personally i'd go for 78, he's not been attacking from a group of climbers, more hanging on towards the back o the best groups in a similar vein to Mollema, and pacing Contador once he;s been dropped by Froomestrong.
Recovery 76 would be reasonable, one bad day does not a poor recoverer make.
Flat: 70
Mo: 78
Hill: 77
TT: 76
PRL: 75
Cbl: 64 (Not actually sure where to put this, no results to judge by)
SP: 66
Acc: 70
End: 76 (Several high placings in classics, shows he has faily long life legs)
Res: 74 (Good worker but his legs go to quickly when maintaining a pace of someone else)
Rec: 76 (1st Stage 19 Giro '12, multiple GT GC10's)
FTR: 70 (Nominal figure, not sure what i think of him as an aggressive rider, more a conta-pawn)
DH: 77 (Went with Conta on every DH so far, clearly knows the lines and not afraid to push on, as we saw today with his attack before Conta went.)
