2013 Tirreno - Adriatico

[Vino attacks everyone]

So Cataldo, Henao and Uran

Vs. Rogers, Hernandez and Majka.

Which one is better?

The colombians are usually the best of these guys by a long shot, but Hernandez was in really good shape in Oman, so it depends on thier form really

 

[Netserk]

So Cataldo, Henao and Uran

Vs. Rogers, Hernandez and Majka.

Which one is better?

The sky trio. Sligthly.

Hernandez looked very good in Oman. Would be ridiculous if he's not close to 100 %

 

[peloton]

So Cataldo, Henao and Uran

Vs. Rogers, Hernandez and Majka.

Which one is better?

Hard to tell, it depends on shape obviously. I'll give the advantage to sky but it's very close. Well we'll see

Sky. Rogers' form is nowhere near as good as it was last year this time, and Majka still has issues with his knee

 

[RHRH19861986]

Majka isn´t riding, I read somewhere on a German forum. Knee problems, so no race within the next three weeks or so.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Damn, Majka again knee issues?

 

[serfla]

Majka mu stara...

 

[Froome19]

So Cataldo, Henao and Uran

Vs. Rogers, Hernandez and Majka.

Which one is better?

Hard to tell, it depends on shape obviously. I'll give the advantage to sky but it's very close. Well we'll see

Based on indications thus far I wouldn't be surprised if Henao does a Froome and drops everyone but his buddy Uran.

 

[SafeBet]

So Cataldo, Henao and Uran

Plus Dombro.

 

[sacrifice&hardwork]

Saxo eight

Contador, Jesús Hernández, Bennati, Boaro, Tosatto, Majka, Rogers and Sergio Paulinho

Majka isn´t riding, I read somewhere on a German forum. Knee problems, so no race within the next three weeks or so.

Yes, someone mentioned on twitter that Majka has knee problems so his replacement for T-A is... Roman Kreuziger! So if any one had hopes for Kreuziger in P-N they have been shattered

Saxo to dominate T-A _O_

 

[BRCYC11]

Damn, Majka again knee issues?

Here is a link to Rafal Majkas facebook page, with info about his injury

[Miburo]

Ok so Kreuziger, Rogers and Hernandez

Vs. Henao, Uran and Cataldo

Now what? lol

 

[LaFlorecita]

Ok so Alberto, Daniele, Manuele, Matteo, Mickey Rogers, Kreuziger, Paulinho and then Jesus

 

[LaFlorecita]

Ok so Kreuziger, Rogers and Hernandez

Vs. Henao, Uran and Cataldo

Now what? lol

why is everyone doing the 3 vs 3

 

[Ferminal]

It's 1v1.

Froome v Contador.

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

It's 1v1v1v1.

Froome v Contador v Nibali v JRod.

Now that is more realistic

 

[Miburo]

why is everyone doing the 3 vs 3

Well it'll be important when Contador goes if Froome still has a teammate. Look at Oman where he still had Porte. Without Porte...

They've to isolate him obviously.

 

[airstream]

who they?

 

[LaFlorecita]

Oh I thought we were still discussing the ttt team

 

[purcell]

I'm going out on a limb and predicting Andy Schleck! Oh, wait ....

 

[Miburo]

Is he still racing T-A?

 

[Froome19]

.

Without Porte? He seemed to need Porte to bridge across and then he took over the pace making and then after being so called dropped he rode back on and attacked past them and gained on Purito. I don't think he needed Porte all that badly in Oman, but I get your point. Still either Froome or Contador may be in better form than the other and then everything changes.

 

[Froome19]

I fancy Nibs or Purito to spoil the fan party and take this.

Based on races so far, I'd be surprised if either of them can drop Henao by very much if he was just riding for himself, so I don't think Froome will be short of help if he does need it.
