Balderstone... Nomen est omen.

It's over. https://www.esciclismo.com/actualidad/carretera/83653.html Here with Purito, Valverde and others. View: https://x.com/RuedaPedal/status/1853469177010430274

He is said to have caught a cold. https://cyclinguptodate.com/cycling/egan-bernal-loses-40-minutes-at-the-end-of-second-week-as-he-battles-an-illness?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR01vYNoD-IYDlm0yvY1VbI53t0aaPyhxtcgJbQ1ZSonhFEYe5kaMZg-0Dw_aem_3Ru4AkiG5qjQIhPiOhv-Ug

Does he has COVID too, or what?

is it me or Gaviria seems to be still fast enought to win against some or many of the top sprinters, but his mind messes up with him? It seems he had lost confidence; he either sprints too early (most of the times) or gets blocked... in the past he was better at positioning.

According to El Tiempo newspaper, DNF did a better time the one Induraín did in the same route in 1995 WC :confused2:. https://www.eltiempo.com/deportes/ciclismo/daniel-martinez-mejora-el-record-de-miguel-indurain-en-campeonatos-nacionales-848464

I meant the whole season after Algarve. Or is that some forum joke?

why was he so bad last season anyway? Illness?

It's not so bad. Columbia has had Santiago Botero (ITT WC), Urán won a few GT ITT stages, Wálter Vargas was Pan American champion a few times...

Santiago Botero: 'For me Armstrong is the winner of the seven Tour de France' "...What do you think of Armstrong? In my opinion, despite his confession about prohibited substances, he still would have won the Tour de France. It is a perception as a cyclist, not as a fan. I also don't judge...

Rivera got 2 year extension... Just, how?

Why is this? It seems to me other countries have improved much further. Denmark, for one. Much better training programs, much more money for research or scouting, etc. Most of the Colombian young riders that get into WT end up coming back or underperforming. I can name so many of them...

Vuelta a Colombia brought José Tito Hernández to my mind. What happened to him? Anyone knows? He left Team Banco Guayaquil in March according to PCS, then he rode a couple of races, but no Vuelta a Colombia...

Raced for Polartec Kometa but didn't do well for whatever reasons. Very similar background to Egan Bernal as MTB rider, also, same hometown.
