Some of these cyclists are really stupid. So a more important rider is hired, there are too many leaders, he talk betrayal, He talks adjustments, He is not selected for any GTs. and he still signs for them🤦🤦🤦

"He’d sit in the kitchen drinking red wine with the chef for hours after dinner" strange but how is it related to doping

True - maybe there will be some chances for gee to ride for himself - he’s very good, but a GT winner? Seems a bit too far for him (or skelmose tbh) I’m glad Gee found a place - love how he rides and he seems a genuinely good fellow

Not even raced a Grand Tour yet and already got riders cheating. Just ensured they never get my support as can't even exist a couple years without cheating.

unfortunately for Nys, he raced as well as he can. And MVDP had plenty of room to improve.

He did pretty well with the bike handling, but it may be too short of an effort to win at the top.
