Do you have the News he published today?

At the moment some riders of the Grenke Auto Eder are training in the "Schwarzwald" area in an official team camp close to the headquarter of their team sponsor Grenke. On the training pictures two riders from Acrog Tormans appear regularly. Does anybody of you have any insights which riders...

I hope that all the teams have some contractual clauses which defines the lifelong or the amount of money is connected to results/UCI points/races they are doing. Otherwise it would be just stupid... I think the lifelong is more a thing for the media and fans

Visma what a difficult situation they are in. In the winter I was very positive about the squad and the outcome for the team, but the first months were quite complicated. Van Aert didn´t win a major race but is delivering good results and UCI points (yes you can argue about this). Jorgenson...

Is there any official Statement of the UCI regarding the Protest of Visma?

I Hope we get some Images from the Peloton on the Last Climb

Some steep climbs awaiting the riders today. I think the GC could Look totally different After this Stage today. I think the Battle is on with the First climb and I think we just See something Like 20 riders surviving the First ascent in the „Peloton“.

I think the biggest problem is, that the expectations are higher compared to the last season. On top of this the new joiners are not performing as they did last year (due to different reasons) and some of the existing riders are not as good as last year at this time (Meeus, Vlasov, Martínez for...

Yes, thats true. I think the team has as an Organisation to less experience in the classics in the post covid time. For me its obvious that the Team as a whole (Riders, Sports directors, staff etc) need to gain that experience, especially in how to win and „dominate“ classics. I Hope that they...

Herzog is starting Settimana Internazionale Coppi e Bartali with the U23. Good decision, I´m looking forward on his role there. Is he trying to go for GC and gets the full support of the team or is he tackling one or two stages and trying to get results there?

Just a little outlook on Hindley tomorrow. Today he was always well positioned and ready to follow the possbile attacks and then he really followed the attack, and was able to stay with the punchy riders. The climb tomorrow is not steep or not long enough to make big separations. But there will...

Pretty good Time Trial from Jai Hindley. This kind of TT didn´t suit him well and he performed better than Adam Yates, Landa and within a second to the riders S. Yates, Ciccone, Bilbao. I´m looking forward to the first mountain stage.

Yes, it Looks more Like „everyone“ is on altitude who is Not Racing Tirreno Adriatico/Strade Bianchi and Paris Nizza.

Also on altitude in Teneriffe?

Hajek, Pellizzari, Aleotti, Roglic and Sobrero in altitude training camp on teneriffe. I think i read somewhere about Wandahl too, but I´m not 100 % sure. Looks like the Giro squad is now doing a preparation together. Suprised that Hajek is on the list as possible Giro participant. Or maybe just...
