Well done Lotto Jumbo! Nothing like publicly shouting about it in the media 24 hours ahead :-)0 -
That's pretty ridiculous. Shows how rubbish they are as a team and how desperate the Dutch are to get a winner.Contador is the Greatest0

Can't stop teams working together, though, right? Unless they introduce a no-drafting rule in road races[url=http://www.bikeradar.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=19698329#p19698329]Blazing Saddles[/url] wrote:Lotto Jumbo are going to work for Tom Dumoulin, if he takes the red jersey, tomorrow:

. Yesterday in the Tour of Britain Movistar and Lotto-Soudal 'colluded' to bring the break back, while riders from several teams colluded try to make the break staying away. Working together ain't the same as giving a wheel. Nothing to do with nationality. Agree the rules are a mess and Porte should never have been dq 0 -

There's a big difference in working together because that's the best way for both teams to achieve their goals and just giving a rider some extra team-mates with no benefit to your team.
That's why so many were pissed off with Robert Millar's treatment in the Vuelta 85.
Of course, Millar himself helped Roche in the 87 Giro (partly to prevent him being attacked by Italian fans). And if the Spanish teams were to collude to put a Spaniard on the top step of the podium in this year's Vuelta then fair enough for Dutch teams to lend a hand.Warning No formatter is installed for the format0 -
Anyway, I'm not sure how much help Lotto would be. Giant mostly needs climbers, and Lotto doesn't have many of those around either this Vuelta. I don't see anything race changing happening; it's not like there's many echelon stages left0

I think Sky might help. I will watch G with interest.
No love between the Vino and Brailsford mobs.It's a little like wrestling a gorilla. You don't quit when you're tired. You quit when the gorilla is tired.0 -
Oh yes G. Not sure why he is in the race tbh.Contador is the Greatest0
