I think they expected more from riders like Carlos Rodriguez, Vauquelin and Magnus Sheffield. Imo they should have focused on signing Primoz Roglic, at least they´d probably have had a guaranteed podium GT finisher (he still might sign for them). Now they have 2nd or third tier riders in the classics (Ben Turner, Arensman, Beloki and hopefully Onley can step up again even more). Sheffield, August, Bernal, Tarling and Geoghan Hart did not live up to the star expectations eventually..

I was referring to the journalists in the article, not the cyclists.

Are you guys seriously claiming you know cycling and have watched the race? "The riders know best"? The cyclists had just finished the race when they complained about the motorbikes, they had not seen any footages yet. The reason why they were not pulled in was because the peloton was not organised enough, they took two men at a time to do the pulls before they were burned. They need to be 10-14 riders organized from different teams. Also, the motorbike was clearly not too close to the breakaway, I have watched the last 30k two times. On another stage, the peloton did not reel them in until 400 metres to go. Was the motorbike pacing at that time also? Isn´t it better to actually watch the race before making a judgment? Also, the breakaway had two teammates, which increases the loyalty of the high pace. I am also curious about the comment "packed with corners", it was not more corners than usual. Please up your expertise, I was very disappointed to read this.
