A Question to all readers:
Lately there's been some (well, a lot) critisicm involving Stijn and his great skill so early on in his career. I'd like to say that if you all want, I can stop this story and make a new, because I now know how fast the attributes develop on 0.5 and I can take that into account when I make a potentially new rider. However, I wouldn't want to stop this story if there are still many that feel that it doesn't bother them that Stijn is so strong early on in his career, because I'm still enjoying it(, too).

Well, think you should continue this story. BUt you are making it difficult for yourself considering the critics by not showing their stats. People start to think (including me) that the 2 riders are already some beasts. In my humble opinion, the story would have been even more interesting when you had shown their stats in the beginning of the story and then giving an update 1-2 a year.

why do you ask such a bullshit question?? its great story and I think it is atleast a bit realistic when we don´t know their stats like in real life.
btw: I´m pretty sure that i can imagine their stats from the results |

Just keep going, Stijn is a real monster at young age, like Sagan and some others in real life, and he developed very fast because of Lotto's "special training methods" ( )
And it's true what you said about Eric, he doesn't win a lot, you are not dominating.
But seriously, go on with this story, perhaps switch the difficulty to extreme next season, because you are a very good PCM player now too

Keep going! Stijn might be a once in a life time talent, and it will be interesting to follow his path to glory. Ok, it's not the same, but Peter Sagan started to beast the others when he had just turned a pro in real life. Stijn might be a kind of Sagan.

I agree with Dienblad on this one, just tell us the stats, then there won't be so many people speculating about what the stats are.
But still nice story, keep it up! |

I vote with everyone else! Carry on, show us the stats, and enjoy ripping it up in the peleton!
As others have said, stijn might just be a special talent, with 'special training techniques'

I'd be willing to not be shown stats. But a small range for them would be nice.

I would prefer to see that stats really, but I want to see it carry on, Eric has to win his GT after all!
They are IMO too powerful, as you know. But stranger things have happened, and your such a great writer that I can't help but enjoy it, even when they are so strong.

Keep going with the story but if you aren't playing on extreme when Stjin is racing then put it on extreame. |

Great results with Stijn recently. And big win in Roubaix. 
Also Vanendert 3x podium in the Ardennes. Great results. |
