MON = mountain
CRI = ITT
LLA = ???
SPR = sprint
EQ = team

right?

Why is Nibbles only 8 in mountain?

LL= Llano (flat)

That 8 I suppose is in relation the spanishs final climbs (mainly shorts and steep).
 
Name..............MON/CRI/LLA/SPR/EQ

Nibali..............8/8/8/6/10
Purito.............9/6/6/8/9
D. Moreno.......8/6/6/8/9
Valverde.........8/7/8/8/10
Intxausti.........8/8/7/6/10
Samu.............8/8/7/7/8
Nieve.............9/6/6/6/8
Betancur........10/6/6/7/7
Uran..............9/8/7/7/8
Henao............10/7/6/6/8
Kreuziger........8/9/8/6/8
Majka.............9/6/6/6/8
Mollema..........8/8/7/7/7
Ten Dam.........7/8/8/6/7
Scarponi.........8/6/7/7/8
Basso.............9/6/6/5/7
Ulissi..............8/7/7/8/8
Txurruka........7/5/6/6/7
Arroyo...........8/6/6/5/7
Fuglsang........9/8/7/6/10
Brajkoviz........8/9/8/6/10

No offence, but some of these numbers make absolutely no sense. Nieve, Uran, Majka, Basso and Fuglsang to be better climbers than Nibali and Valverde :confused:

That said I really appreciate the climb profiles :)

How long have you been around here? You should know that allrounders cannot climb as much as the climbers, even if you see they are faster up the mountains in the actual races :rolleyes: , or so the forum discussions say. :p
