You can if you let him attack on a skill which he has higher than almost all others (downhill in this case). And do you remember a guy named Malton? He has sprint 2 and he won a few in his career.... haha with a 7 it's a bit different than a 16... lol are u kiddin me? and DH isn't mountain as I told u... I know, but all attacks were succesfull. I am convinced that with tt 7 he would have finished in top 5.

about attacks... if u attack 5 times with a 2(?) spri u can't really hope to win a race,,, You can if you let him attack on a skill which he has higher than almost all others (downhill in this case). And do you remember a guy named Malton? He has sprint 2 and he won a few in his career....

You can't make a difference on downhill, because the base speed of a cyclist is high and skillvalues doesn't make that speed high enough to create a gap in a race. The only way it could be useful is at a downhill finish with an attack at the start of last part, but even then sprint would be much more important for creating a gap. That's why in this race downhill is useless making it a hill race. But why is Head finishing then 2nd with his lousy 2 on hill while Lamego and Masek (with high hill skill and better TT skill) finish after him? Oh, and I don't want to sound like a nagger. You obviously understand the engine better than me, because you always seem to put up the right riders. With these questions I want to understand it better.

Maxz and Punkska: 50 km hill, 104 downhill. yeah, I know... but 104km with your guys's sprint/TT/DH combo simply aren't enough to compete with the 50km 11hill guy so DH wasn't the main skill today. Is not a single skill issue, never (or better, except in total mountain stages), u've to consider all variable with sprint attack points TT value and so on, all of this have impact on the engine simulation. Don't know. Problem is that Head only attacked once. He was riding with Oosthuysse the whole time, nut Oosthuysse attacked later and Head didn't.

Btw, curious what happens with sundays race. At the participating teams you still see the teams of monay's race.
I somehow have the feeling that it doesn't really will go well....

1. No, today downhill should be the main skill. 50% of the race was downhill. 3. Why? My friend, hill has much more impact on the engine than DH, I don't remember exactly the numbers... as mountain is higher than hill... so u have to compare terrains/impact coz I thought that an highDH value can't make so much difference and this adds more variety to the training plans... and at last, mate, u (and others) are often surprised by our (italians) results, but u've to understand that i'm (we) planning my training since first season thinkin about the engine and FA changing... I was prepared for the NE and at now it's paying a lot... but we doesn't know so much about the future but I'm confident... or at least I hope... That goes for me too. Remember that I started 1 season later then you all. I started training sprint already in the old engine and because of that won my division altough others had much better riders. After that I started train TT very early, that was the reason I promoted 2 seasons back, and not Seberla. He then already had the better riders than me. So, I did knew that. I also trained very multifunctional. And, as you saw, I also have minimum 2 downhill specialists (not that you win any races with them )

Oh, and by the way, Seberla. You are so unbelievably German. Winning in injury time... In the last but one race for the first time this season to second spot... But really, really great performance! Respect. Also for my Italian colleagues, fantastic season, although I see, we will have lots of them next season

Maxz: it is not all about time trial?
Check todays results and imagine my two riders Head and Nica. Head 4-2-8-7-5-6 67 kgs fitness 99% Nica 7-3-9-6-2-4 68 kgs fitness 99%
Head's decimals are almost all.0, Nica's decimals are higher, except for tt which is .0 They both attack at point 1, mountain. That is the last attackpoint for Head. Nica attacks 4 more times, every time succesfull according to the report. But still Head finishes more than 1 minute before Nica.
I obviously don't understand this engine, so please can somebody explain it to me. I went for the stage with Nica, but I should have done it with Head. If I attacked more with Head, he probably would have won the stage. That he now wins the green jersey is an enormous amount of pure luck and was not intentional. Who can it be that Nica, who is a better rider in mountain (8,0 against 9,5) with the same weight as Head, loses 1 minute on Head? I think only because the TT difference is exatly 2. But then again 2 on tt agains 1,5 for Nica on mountain, means a diffrence of only 0,5.
Please explain me, because I really don't understand a f#%& of it.
