According to Movistar, he is listed as racing the Canadian races now, so hopefully we will see him before the end of the year. There is also this article: https://www.antena2.com.co/ciclismo/carlos-betancur-se-va-del-movistar-y-llegaria-a-otro-equipo-top-del-world-tour that says he is going to...

They won't let him get away again, though, so he won't be able to make up too much time in the next two stages. His current GC standings is safe, Landa is 1 minute back, Uran 130, Velverde 2 minutes. The golden core group (Bernal, Thomas, Kruijswijk, Pinot, Buchmann) all have about two minutes...

Re: Re: Ha! that's funny. That video made the whole thing even sadder, to be honest. Just force them to pretend to get along. I'm sure they'll be friendly to each other after they go their separate ways but right now there is too much frustration. That minute+ lost yesterday was just pouring...

I only interpreted what you typed, not what you meant, and you clarified that. Here is the way I read the thread: 1) Comment is made that Quintana has the face of an old man. 2) People respond saying that enough of that, there is at minimum a level of ignorance with that comment and people take...

Re: Re: I think the frustration comes about from generalization. Latin means anyone from Latin descent, so people from Portugal, Italy, France, Spain and the countries they colonized like Haiti, most of the caribbean maybe Quebec are considered Latin. Its too huge of a demographic to...

Re: Re: Can you please cite a reference? This is news to me..and being that I follow sports from south america pretty closely, I am calling you out to prove it. I really giving you the benefit of the doubt here..I am REALLY hoping you don't think Dominican Republic is in South America. It's in...

You called it! Next, If he gets better, my money is on Gaviria this September

After watching him today, I think he has a good chance of winning the Tour of Romandie. What a turnaround. He is the poster rider of contract year LOL

Re: Re: I think what he meant (or at least, this is my opinion) is that he wasn't the protected rider here, he was supposed to be the safety and was supposed to be a domestique. It wasn't a targeted race therefore it becomes a prep race or a training race. Bernal is not close to 100% since he...

Re: Re: It helps that the stage is relatively short. I also have this recorded and watch it over and over again. Contador did kick it off but you can't credit it just to Contador. It was very early in the race and Quintana and team had to be there. Movistar did the best team work I have seen...

He has visa problems..of course, he will also have visa problems for the Colombia 2.1 ;)

does anyone have a link that shows footage of Bernal pulling and fixing his headset? I can't seem to find it.

My thoughts here: Sky must REALLY like this guy. 1st, no other 1st year race has ever been on the Sky Tour team and that's when there was 9 riders in the team. 2nd, it means that his "Free reign lesson" is taking a spot of another rider in the team that was planning on going to the tour. Lot of...

Re: Summary. Quoting Bernal's agent, Guiseppe Acquadro, speaking at the start of the Giro TT. "We decided after California. At the end, if his debut was at La Vuelta, he will have a lot more pressure than at the Tour, because everyone will be looking at him and will have leadership...

press conference from May 14th, 2018 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkOQjSoXL7c Translation (my own, so, self-evident disclaimer that any mistake are mine): "Yesterday, I thought that if I stayed on Froome's wheel for a little bit I could make up some ground to the leaders but then realized...
