was it the vuelta last year where they did it on the sea front on shitty paths n that… that was fun
But it’s probably a TTT on a jetty over the sea or something, covered in sandpaper and they eliminate a rider every 70m. Bloody Vuelta TTTs.
Oh yes! A sandy section. Forgotten all about that! #crossiscoming
alright, Jeff Mangum
I was hoping somebody would knock that one in the open goal hole
Mavic neutral milk hotel support bike
haven’t got anything else
Too far!
Kittel to Katusha! Oooft.
Rumoured for ages. Biggest transfer so far though
It’s the power of Alpecin!
Quick step were like “he’s hair today, gone tomorrow”
Viviani to Quick Step.Oooft!
I’ll die if Alpecin ever stop being involved in pro-cycling and the cycling-related promotion of their excellent products
that’s… a slight downgrade
edit: for QSF, obv.
Pivot towards GC with Dan Martin?
Let’s hope so! Really no reason why they can’t effectively split their season/squad to cover the classics and 2 of the 3 GTs prioritising Martin as leader and hoping Viviani might sneak a win or 2.
Just don’t see him as a contender in a 3 week GT. I like him, plucky rider, aggressive, but top 5 placing max
yeah I agree.
He’s looked good (and was very unlucky tbf) because people haven’t treated him like a threat… not sure he’d be given the same leeway and be as effective… which would mean you’d lose the glory of seeing him do his thing.
