I am using the "Basic Realname Database" for the career mode. I've come across the hilly classics: Amstel, La Fleche Wallonne and LBL... and Valverde won all of them! Isn't he a bit overpowered? My results were good, top 5 with Tejay at Amstel (+26''Wink, 2nd place with Kwiatkowski at FW (+0''Wink and 2nd place with Kwia at LBL (+2'20''Wink. Valverde is 83 hills and I buffed Kwiatkowski to 84 using the training camps.

At LBL he seemed very strong, he attacked with 2 or 3 hills left, tried to relay with some of my guys, but couldn't catch him. Even dot 85+ and protection from another team-mate didn't work. And none of the other favourites could close the gap on him (e.g. Daniel Martin, Rodriguez).

I would also like to hear some tips regarding hilly stages (maybe I am not using the best strategy).

On such short hills, relaying and pacing doesn't have as much effect as attacking. What I normally do is note who the favourites are and if any of them attack, I will follow their wheel and then do no work in the break. I will do this until the last hill where I set my rider to follow a wheel at the front and when the last km is reached ill launch the sprint. This has worked well for me as I won both LBL and Amstel with Gerrans. Whilst I only lost Fleche because Gilbert and myself started marking each other and lower tier favourites like Kreuziger managed to get away.

Also Valverde isn't too OP. I'm pretty sure in the basic DB Gilbert and Rodriguez should be better with their secondary stats
