The course is too hard for Alaphilippe.Certainly,the French team did a wrong choose,did Guimard believe Bardet can win this race with a solo win?It's obvious that Pinot is a better choice.He can attack,he have a better sprint than Bardet.Riding for Pinot may not mean beat Valverde and win the...

Re: I won't surprised if he finish top 10

Re: News sourse?

Pinot should say no to any race held by ASO except La Vuelta

Re: To some extent.China is the desert of cycling world.

I am a fan of Thibaut,but I am not a FDJ fan at all.I don't know why Nibali always makes better decision.Madiot can push his promising guys into high level.He was a great rider in the past,he is a respectable team manager for now.But he doesn't have the magic to make a good rider into a champion...

Yep,maybe Froome is fading,but what about Dumoulin? It has been proved that he is stronger than Pinot.Pinot'sITT isn't a weapon that can make a difference at any race. What Pinot need to learn is how to defend the leaders' jersey and how to win a GT,not fight for endless TDF podium places.

Also,a Mounment for Pinot will be a great end for this great season

I am pessimistic with Pinot's next season,I can't see he can make breakthrough in Le Tour.Pinot need to win a GT and he can do it in Giro,He isn't strong enough to beat Dumoulin or even Froome.There won't be a worse calender than it.

Re: Re: Yeah,Demare didn't finish his last two GT,a hot and difficult Vuelta will be good for him to get over the hard three week.And after a stage win in Tour,he can put his pressure in home and stand at Nimes with a relaxed mind and fresh body.Hope Madiot will do this.By the...

FDJ need a third leader,someone like Konig or Nieve and even Pozzovivo.Manzin,Reichenbach can't do some remarkable things in Vuelta

So,next race for him is Clásica Ciclista San Sebastian?And Milano-Torino,II Lombardia?

Why not set Il Lombardia as a main goal of second half season?La Vuelta isn't suit for Thibaut because the weather is too hot.He can go to Le Tour for stage win and satisfy the requirement of the sponsorship.In fact,as long as Thibaut follow attacks from others ,he can win this mounment by using...

Frankly speaking,not a very good day for him.I wonder why Steve and Jeremy be droped so early??His bad position makes him can't do more when face Thomas's attack

I have to say Pinot needs a great Domestique,someone like Landa in Astana and Valverde in Movistar.Else he could not challenge Quintana and even Froome to win a WT
