Re: Really? Struggle to believe that, how do you know for sure?

Re: Re: But there are no races in Israel at WT level, no one who creates a WT cycling team can anticipate the Giro starting there. These teams are funded from countries that don't even recognize Israel as a country, there is no way they will participate and you can't expect them too, there will...

Re: Re: The risk is that Froome doesn't know his limits and goes too far. He does seem to have a fearless attitude at the moment, it could cost him although in all likelihood it won't.

Re: Re: The tension is caused by policies, not by race, it definitely is a political issue. You used examples that suited you but no conflict is the same, comparisons are useless and don't explain the nature of the tension.

Re: Re: It's not a race issue, it's a political issue.

Disgraceful, who thought this was good idea, especially now when a lot of the new teams are funded by money from the middle east? Security is another major problem, and there's the fact that it is no where near Italy ridiculous decision.

It was bad although, the finish where Sagan won, PDBF and the sprint that Demarre won were entertaining. I've seen worst first weeks especially in the Tour. Actually thinking about it the first week in the Giro this year wasn't any better if I remember well, and like the Giro the best is still...

I think the simplest way is just to end all sprint stages on a wide, long straight boulevard or autoroute. Of course there's going to always be a slight risk of a crash but the wider and straighter the road is, the less likely there is of being a crash. Maybe also get rid of barriers on the side...

Re: What about little pool regarding Sagan beeing sent home In cases when you are drifting towards the barriers, yes you should look cause if someones there he's going to crash. It's not difficult to glance right for a split second before moving right, as was said you do the same in a car...

Voted yes, cutting off a rider going faster than you in a sprint is extremely dangerous, all he would have needed to do is look over his shoulder before drifting right, look at cav before he takes demarre's wheel he checks that no one is behind him that's how you sprint. Hopefully Sagan learns...

Re: Re: The gap was there that's how demarre got round, cav was on his wheel but Sagan drifted forcing him into the barriers. Yes the punishment is way to harsh and I don't think there was intent but Cav is not to blame.

Ridiculous comments as always from the anti-sky clinic. I would have found it more suspicious had one of kwiatowski, kiriyenka, froome and Thomas not been in the top 10. Not sky's fault they sign the best riders and have the biggest budget. Shame most people here are so driven by their hate of...

Cases like these are super complicated to deal with. We would need to know what conversation led to Moscon throwing racial abuse at Reza. I don't believe he just went up to him and insulted him, his behavior seems to indicate something happened beforehand which caused him to snap. It's of course...

The tour has had bonus seconds back since 2015, and they haven't changed the racing whatsoever I agree they need to go but I disagree about them costing Richie a victory he knew the rules before the race and lost so tough.

Re: Another year aiming for the giro and riding the tour for stage wins would be best for him I suspect, however I doubt the sponsors being French would allow it unfortunately. What's more with bardet aiming for the giro next year, all the pressure would be on pinot and that's definitely not a...
