Some rumors coming from French press that PicNic is in talks with Gaudu to replace Bardet.

Depends on Pedersen and Trek. If Pedersen really wants that Pink jersey back they will go for it and hope no on really goes full on the climb/Pedersen can come back afterwards. Honestly If I'm Trek I just send Vacek in the break. He can win and even if he doesn't he can get pink.

Cause he swerved while ha was around that position? Also not even sure if it's fully on him, sure he swerves (just like most there, it's an uphill sprint), but you can see an FDJ rider also bumping into Aranburu at the same time. Obviously also not a 13 rider group. It's just that there was a...

PicNic big winner of this week in France. Lots of points were expected for Cofidis but they haven't even scored 100 in 3 races while having Aranburu at the start every race.

Aranburu and Astana rider crashed hard with 100m to go. Bad day for both teams. Also Intermarché nowhere to be seen after working all day. Caja Rural with 4 in the top 10. They are pretty insane in these type of .Pro races this season.

They are still a bit more than 100 points behind. FirstCycling' ranking is always wrong. I guess they don't account for penalty's

Absolutely no point in looking at Astana anymore. They will probably be in the top 15 at the end of the year. It's between PicNic and Cofidis, and if PicNic just performs for one or starts actually caring about this they should be better than Cofidis. Cofidis probably also the only team there...

Tudors fault. They are just horrible. Ever since they took over the Giro results have taken forever.

This is going to be such a points farming Giro it's insane. Astana already 6th and 9th.

Probably some random dude from Astana beating Pedersen and Van Aert here

over & out for Landa

Aubin Sparfel, he's from 2006... God I'm old. French talent at Decathlon is just insane man. And compared to FDJ they actually have the money to keep them in the future. Their development team changed a lot for them, finally not just developing juniors just for FDJ to steal them.

Yeah, but wouldn't there also been rumors about that already? It was already weird that Kirsch got left out of the Giro selection while he was definitely expected there.

Benson: Wright -> Ineos, Jayco, Q36.5? Askey leaving FDJ Kirsch leaving Lidl (weird to me but ok) Bennett probably leaving Decathlon with Kooij coming in Covi -> Astana, Ineos, Visma? Vendrame -> FDJ? Harold Lopez can extend with Astana, but Red Bull and Bahrain interested Fortunato extending...

Just still no sponsor and sign of one coming soon so they can't offer anything to riders. Again some strong riders leaving. If the UCI even gives them their WT license, they will be the worst team the WT has ever seen. They are a living corpse. So not folding yet, but anything can happen the...
