Out of the two i see more promise in TJVG as you say Valverde he can keep up look at Catalunya he won a mountain stage. Imo i just don't think Talansky deserves 78. He is not better than Kelderman uphill also Kelderman is younger.

I suppose you could say well as he is younger he will get better than Talansky but i don't see it. Talansky is always a 80 climber with good recovery in mine Kelderman never reaches that, mostly he is 77/77, sometimes 78 if im lucky.

My point is that Talansky seems to get substantially better every year.

Dunno if substantailly better every year is the right word.

2012:
7th Vuelta
2nd Tour de Romandie
1st Tour de l'Ain


2013:
10th Tour de France
2nd Paris-Nice
6th Criterium International

That doesn't look like a huge leap forward. This year can be better if he can keep up his perofrmance from Dauphine so far.


That barely tells the whole story.

In that race he did well by consistency, but he was well behind the top guys. This year and last he has been actually with the leaders on many occasions. Dauphine for example.

Yes and out of most of them he was only their because they kept stopping. Talansky got blow away last km.

He never cracked, he just couldn't match the acceleration. Nibali also got dropped. Doesn't prove much.

No but he as not really stayed with the big guys has he. He would have lost alot of time if they were riding full stop. They were that slow that he was allowed back to make the pace again.

I don't want to sound like im hating on Talansky as he is a great bike rider, who can basically get a top 10 at each GT he picks. I just think Kelderman and Talansky should have same stats, with WK having higher potential by 1, but that is just me.

Agree on the first part, not the second. but that will just be what it is.

Yes im not saying mine is right just we obvi have diff opinions.


Would you say same stats and same potential?, as i think they are very close. Or maybe give Talnsky better stats with Kelderman 6 potential, Talansky 5?. What is Talansky pot at them moment?.

I think Kelderman should have better potential than Talansky at this point.

However, there is no good way to do this. Giving Kelderman 7 with his stats is not an option because he could get too strong. Giving Talansky 5 does not allow for enough improvement based on his current stats. I think the only thing a DB maker can do is give both a 6.

Yes you are right. 5 potential on last game i played before this years was 2011.And riders like Scarponi would have 4 potential and could still get 2 pts in mountain. They messed the potential up imo.


I think fair way then if we gave both same pot is give Kelderman 78, Talansky 77Wink.

Ah ok. Well still think he will be better than TJVG and Talansky by a long way. Put it this way every year he improves


So does Talansky... though I'd say TVG has stalled a lot.


How has TVG stalled he have done his best spring season ever and what he did in Oman was convincing that he made Hugh steps this season i would probably put Van Garderen 78M0, Talansky and Kelderman at 77 with the same potential when it comes to END and REC i dunno! (Sorry Jesleyh please dont ban me from the community)

He also won a mountain stage in Catalunya. He is as good as Kelderman probably right now maybe better but i doubt he will in 2 years. I agree TJVG is a tiny bit above Talansky but lets see in few weeks.Pfft

You might be right that TVG and Kelderman deserves the same MO stats but i feel somethings wrong giving a rider places 7th in the Giro 78 when Mollema was given 78 after last years tour which were more impressive in my opinion and would be more wrong giving them 77 and Talansky 76... im glad i don't make stats for the coming db coz that seems impossible to get right!

Talansky gives another hint that we should consider at least 78 MO for him.

How much prologues skill does Slagter have in the game? 65 or so? He finished 8th today in TdS! Definetely an upgrade.

I also remind you that Haas also needs an upgrade in prologues (5th in Herald Sun Tour and 10th in Criterium International this year).

So, do you still think TVG deserves more mtn than Talansky? Pfft

Ok let me clarify Pfft I said a few days ago that Talansky deserved 78 but changed my mind because i don't like giving a rider who don't have any top results from one of the GT that high in mtn so i would wait until at least mid tour before giving him that. but by all means it looking promising Wink

Of course. I would be a hypocrite if I didn't look at his Tour performance first, but I think it's heading that way for sure.

In the mountains it should look like this:

Froome, Quintana, Contador 82
Nibali, Valverde 80
Porte, Purito 79
Aru, Uran, Pozzo, Talansky, Kreuziger, Mollema, Betancur, VDB, Horner, Rolland 78

This is the higher shelf. Maybe Rafał also deserve those 78 in the mountains. A couple of the players should have reduced these stats e.g Evans or Niemiec.Reichenbach deserves a big upgrade, 75 for now, we'll see how they handle on the Tour.

Looks good, but I would prefer Rodriguez on at least 80. Won Catalunya and was as good as Froome the last weak of TdF.
