- Primoz is only saying that because reality finally hit him that he's just not as good as the rest and leaving Visma was a bad idea.
- Would be cool to know the conversation Wellens had with the guys in front when he signalled "hey i'm going to escape in front, you guys ok with that? I promise i'll slow down after the sommet line!" Hehehe, maybe that isn't much far from the truth
- Soudal-Quick Step have always been a Classics/Sprinting team, it's very hard to transition to a GC team. I do think that Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe is already too stocked with climbers for Evenepoel. Roglič is their leader, but you've also got Hindley, with Lipowitz, Pellizzari and Fisher-Black being rising young talents. Before long, you'll have Lorenzo Finn and Luke Tuckwell from the development team.
- I've just watched video of the crash, and in my opinion Bryan Coquard was at fault in no way whatsoever. It was a racing incident, with unfortunate results.
- Agree. Remco needs to get better (or Tadej and Jonas have to get worse) before he can realistically win the Tour, no matter what team he is on.
That said he is unusually unsupported this year thanks to Landa's unfortunate crash. That lack of support gives him less room for error than if he were riding for a stronger team.
- come on... Case:
1-Remco in Visma
2- Jonas in Soudal
3- Tadej in Cofidis
->Remco's in third place, five minutes back, (if he's lucky and Primoz crashes). The rest is just fuel for arguments and controversial articles. It's not the team, it's he.
- On second thoughts, from reading most reviews, I think you’re overdoing it, you cannot blame two individuals if it’s their collective involuntary actions to avoid each other that cause a third to crash, sometimes you have nowhere to go by the time you realise there’s danger.
- I’m going to take your word for it coz I have no desire to watch it personally, cycling is turning into a sport for addicts of crashporn. We’ve avoided a big one but at this rate of individual crashing, will anyone even finish this Tour? Maybe Rogliç, if he stays 100m behind the peleton each day ;-)
- So, Almeida would also be more than capable but has always worked in the interests of Pog. Not saying there is a wrong or right way to do things but as I said before Holm put it more explicitly, if management obsess over beating Pog then it’s hypocritical to put your eggs in different baskets, that’s about the only thing UAE fo right tactically.
- With Redbull he has a shot at the Tour. They have Roglic as a co captain, and a group of climbers. And would put them in position to help Remco unlike the team members with him now (that includes 2 riders who are sprint spealized), meaning on a climb he is down 2 team mates to start. And with the budget they have, they can lock in even more talent I'm sure. Sodal just doesn't have the ability to help him right now. Not a really good team or help currently
