- He's still riding for Trek or haven't you noticed the 'Trek' name in the team title!
- Is the Mou(se) back? Seems like it!
- he was 19 back then when he posted his pro-trump tweets and got fired at trek ... let's hope he matured.
- I've had the misfortune of riding 'em waterbikes, and they are horrible. A race like that will simply be about who doesn't run out of power.
- Stage 6 is very similar to stage 2 of the Algarvia, and we all know how that ended. A similar outcome - a sprint of the GC riders - is possible
Seixas and Ayuso's sprints are relatively equal; I don't see any example which would show either to be significantly above the other. Although, on stage 5 of the Algarvia, Ayuso was much stronger, with a much bigger margin to Seixas than it was on stage 2. Oscar Onley also has a great sprint, probably equal. Matteo Jorgenson also has a decent sprint.
But none of them have the sprint of Isaac del Toro. What he did on stage 1 of the UAE Tour is something no climber should ever have been capable of, which is why he's my favourite for the stage.
I think Baudin will be dropped, as will Vauquelin, allowing Onley to go into yellow.
- Visma's leadout train was:
Bruno Armirail
Per Strand Hagenes
Edoardo Affini
Wout van Aert
It'll be similar at the Vuelta, with Matthew Brennan behind van Aert.
- Who was the Visma rider leading out Van Aert who drifted to the left just so, at just the right time in that right hand curve, creating an enormous barrier for anyone else's sprint, forcing people to go the long way around to catch Van Aert? Because that was (depending on who you're a fan of) some brilliant work that wasn't a foul, or some dirty work that should have been a foul. Biking, a team sport.
- Hilarious. MOU / Ustace boy dunking on WVA for being useless dead weight. Guy wins a stage the next day.
- Sports director Patxi Vila: "In recent months, we've seen that Remco can reach a very high level without necessarily participating in preparatory races."
Really, where have you seen that? I see nothing like that. Now let's stop the BS and use our logic. Remco would have no chance against Vingegaard in Paris-Nice or Catalunya... or against Pogi in Tour of Romandie... or against Seixas in Itzulia Basque Country... or Isaac del Toro in Tirreno Adriatico. Let's remember that Del Toro beat him this year in the UAE Tour. Remco would also have no chance in the upcoming races like Tour Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes (Dauphine) against Seixas and Del Toro ... and Tour de Suisse against Pogi. He would have lost everything. Now just imagine losing everything before going to the Tour against the same riders that kept beating him over and over again. So tactically he skipped all the races, regardless the BS Remco and Patxi Vila are telling us. Those second class ciciban races that Remco won in february and march, mean nothing.
Remco also lost against Pogi in two monuments: Tour of Flanders and LBL. So once again I ask: "Where is that very high level Patxi Vila is talking about???"
