I like these kind of trivial questions, so here's a new one:
Which is your favourite type of rider to play with?
Mine is the type Meersman, a puncher with a good sprint or a sprinter with a good punch, but not the best in either of them. Flat and downhill are welcome as well. Other examples are Ciolek and Gavazzi.

Interesting question...
I like sprinters taking hills above average as well.
I also like pure climbers, with a high ACC so they can shake off others by attacking.
And I like fighters with high FL(who can theoretically breakaway and held off the pack) as well.

Nothing goes above the tension of a sprint. So I would go with Cavendish.

Definitely the punchy sprinter. Sagan, Degenkolb, Ciolek.

For one day races I like the cobbles riders with some HIL stats (like Cancellara, I managed to win 4 out of 5 Monuments with him) and the punchers with good downhill stats.
For the stage races I like riders with small differences between MON and HIL stats. I like the balance between those 2 stats.

There's nothing like your rider dropping an opponent on a cobbled section at Paris Roubaix. I would have to go for a rider like Cancellara or Boonen |

I really like punchers with a decent sprint. Gerrans, Albasini, Gilbert etc. They shouldn't be climbers.

I like time-triallers most, since I would charachterise myself as one. Or, it's the type of rider I'm getting closest to.
As a time-trialler you are usually good for riding with a steady pace over long distances, which is exactly like me. But if the other riders don't ride fast enough, I sometimes accelerate and ride away from them.
So overall I think I like the attacking type best. Those who can attack and rĂde home alone. Someone like Sylvain Chavanel or Thomas De Gendt. |

Nobody said pure climbers yet? I just love them, also in history. Van Impe, Bahamontes, Gaul... Angels of the mountains, love it. |

I like hills sprinters, the type Sagan, that can wait for the sprint or attack on the last hill and win either way, which is why JOC is exactly that type of rider.

My favourite type riders are:
Cobblers, love the cobbled classics in PCM.
Hilly TTists, good for little tours, which are my favourite races. Like Walter!
Fighters. As Jesleyh said, good everywhere, and always up for a breakaway! |

None are pure climbers, though
I love punchers in real life, but I hate the hilly classics on PCM. Those steep hills have something wrong in the gameplay, I think. You drop back in the pack too easily and I just suck at them |
