    Transfers and Rumours 2018 > 2019

    IMHO. Specialized does not have a Big Time Rider. On the CRUX. They should sign Wout.

    Omloop Het Nieuwsblad 1.UWT (24/2/2018)

    SEP was the strongest rider. Astana was the strongest Team. GVA not looking good IMHO. Out showing his Pedigree! Somewhere at training camp. Sagan sharpens the form.

    Teams & Riders Froome Talk Only

    Pretty interesting and enlightening comments. In an interview on this site. By Katie Compton. If you have followed her career. She has been an asthmatic. And has had many big races where she had sub par results due to it. She is arguably the greatest women CX rider ever. Definitely in the USA...

    Teams & Riders Froome Talk Only

    I have to admit.....I'm envious of the Froome-Dog. He got the Giro to Pay his Legal Bills. And never has to race a day for it! Brilliant

    Mikel Landa Discussion Thread

    SKY does ride for Froome. Landa should ride for Landa. Froome did it to Wiggo....Let's not forget. Also Froome has shone weakness in his last Tour. In the final week. IMHO. That is why I feel the racing has been so hard so far. No free Rides! With the GC so tight going into this final week...

    Teams & Riders Alberto Contador Discussion Thread

    If we have big rain on Sunday. Could we see bike changes in the valley before Chat. Or possibly a big attack before the final climb. With the new Dura Ace being so Light. If a rider was to attack hard get an edge going over the top. Those Disc Brakes could be a HUGE advantage. The new Emonda is...

    Transfers and Rumours 2017 > 2018

    I would not touch ARU for 3million. This tour will show his value. I would sign Chaves for 2million. Or Superman Lopez for 1.5million. Formilo would be an interesting signing he has to improve the TT.

    Richie Porte Discussion Thread.

    Porte was not a good sportsman. When riding for SKY. What he got at this Dauphine. Was a little taste of there medicine. Which he was a part of. He needs to just settle down. Let them play there games. He has to know that they are all in for Froome in LeTour. Let his domestiques ride for him...

    Team Ineos Discussion thread

    I cannot stand team SKY. And I'm NO G fan. But if he guts this out. His stock will rise in my book. Hardman!

    Giro 2017, stage 9: Montenero di Bisaccia - Blockhaus 149 km

    Re: Giro 2017, stage 9: Montenero di Bisaccia - Blockhaus 14 As fast as ALL the riders are now. With the training advances, bikes, wheels, nutrition, specialization. It is mind boggling to me how much focus you must maintain. When on the limit seemingly everyday. 1 small slip and you have what...
