  • bobmcstuff
    bobmcstuff Posts: 11,398
    Yates and Uran couldn't stick with Quintana and G, G is riding tempo behind Quintana, not sure he'll be able to close the gap.

    More fashion commentary- don't like Yates aero helmet - makes him look like Alien.

    Yeah, what a loser, coming a lowly 8th on a MTF in early March. :roll:

    sorry that's not good enough for someone hired to win GT's. when the difference between expectations and results is very big then it's called a flop.

    First of all, he wasn't hired to win GTs, rather he'd shown potential to be a GT contender. He's started one GT as a leader since he joined Sky and had to abandon due to illness after a promising start. The jury is still out.

    Not really. Even if you are restricting it Sky, he still won the Giro Del Trentino.

    If you want bigger Sky flops, I would venture,Simon Gerrans who did OK but excelled elsewhere. Steve Cummings you could add - he needed his own space to thrive.

    from Astana

    Update: Fabio Aru suffered by tracheo bronchitis with fever. Therefore it was decided not to go to the 5th stage

    Tasty little stage today.

    What a treat cycling is this time of year. Double trouble this weekend, MSR next, E3 and Gent within a week after that, then Flanders then Roubaix.

    Nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom.

    Definitely a day to see what Movistar are capable of when it comes to defending a lead. That final 60 kms or so is full of opportunities and will make it very hard for any team to control.

    Ballerini, Canola, Cummings, Ganna, Gougeard, Lammertink, Monfort, Moscon, Moser, Terpstra and Thwaites.

    Pretty heavy weight break
