    About this template

    Professional cycling rewards wildly different skill sets depending on terrain, which is why a Grand Tour climber and a Classics specialist can both be considered the best in the world without ever being compared directly. This template scores riders across climbing, sprinting, time trial, endurance, tactics, and descending so their true specialization shows up as a distinct shape rather than a single overall ranking. Use it to break down a rider's Grand Tour chances, compare breakaway specialists to sprinters, or explain to a non-cycling friend why a rider who never wins a stage can still win the general classification. A pure climber will spike hard on climbing and endurance with a dip in sprinting, while a puncheur like a Classics winner shows a rounder, more balanced shape. Keep scores relative to the current professional peloton so the chart stays meaningful as the sport evolves.
