Re: Giro 2017, stage 9: Montenero di Bisaccia - Blockhaus 14 it is not a question of being anglo american or mediterranean. it is about knowing racing, road cycling....it is about having historical memory and knowledge of what is racing. it is about having been a racer, it is about having had...

Re: Giro 2017, stage 9: Montenero di Bisaccia - Blockhaus 14 "la corsa è corsa" that is ine of the more ancient laws of road cycling. when the race is on, no reason to slow down. movistar was already pulling strong, no reason to ease. it is not golf , it is ROAD cycling

Re: Re: it looks i am wrong, bernal is now with acquadro, the same manager of chaves, betancur , henao, quintana and uran. that opens a lot of chances to egan. next year he will be WT. savio is making him race too much for his age. egan has already 29 days in competition with more than 4000km...

Re: bernal is with alberati , not acquadro. do not forget that savio will influence the choice and he wants to make money out of bernal. he will let bernal go at the end of 2018, unless he find a new sponsor with a lot of money, very diffuicult to imagine now

torres has just a couple of season in european cycling with team colombia and corti, not a great reference. his best season with team colombia has to be credited to j. leguizamo, that prepared him when he revealed at tour san luis. diego rosa comes from corneliano, a small town 30km from...

great engine , great performance. he needs time to completely develop as a rider, both from physical and technical standpoint. he is only 20, with very limited experience on road. androni and savio are not really the best place where to develop. they makes him run too much ( already 3000 k of...

Re: isa some footage of cardona pedaling today. very good position on the bike, classy rider. he is atypical colombian , stronger ruler than climber, even if he is not bad at climbing.

great achievement for molano and manzana. they are already performing better than team colombia.... molano proved that he can be strong in stages with a selective finish. last year he won over lobato in the last stage of a cold rainy day in vuelta madrid . he is quickly improving and he has the...

Re: Re: bernal had a mechanical during ITT

ivan sosa was born in fugasuga cundinamarca and he was very strong uphill in the vuelta porvenir in 2015 , winning the queen stage. he is a real good climber and seems able to improve against the clock. last year he was very deceiving in the tour de l' avenir. he has yet to complete his physical...

no chance for ruyano his team is too weak and young; he is old, he is supposed to retire soon after the vuelta jhs team will crash this race they have two team , one stronger than the other monsalve medina j. rodriguez ( yes he is back) vs jimmy briceno, nelson camargo etc. curious to see...

every year il principe savio signs a young sudamerican gun with the highest VO2max ever that is advertising; anyway i wish all the best to the young tico the manager is the same of bernal and sosa ...

betancur had problem with attitude, henao has been very unlucky because of health related problems and because he was stopped by uci when he was in very good form, otherwise he could have had some important races more in his palmares; uran had a trajectory ruined by a terrible injury and some...

the first twelve riders of today stage were all in the gruppetto at 53 min. that means they had an advantage from their horrible performance of yesterday. felline and bennati, two of the fastest wheel of the vuelta, were not present in the sprint. it is a scandal the rules were not applied.
