What's so surprising. Evans is no longer a GT winner and everyone knows it and they also need an alternative to TJVG.

funny, take nibali out of the equasion and evans was pretty close to winning a gt just a couple of weeks ago,

 

[karlboss]

i was thinking the same thing, if you had 3motos and 2 copters where would you put them on todays stage?

hesjedal, nieve, froome, up in the air

That just puts in context how strong Nibali's performance was.

If the full course was ridden Betancur would have overtaken him.

Rui Costa and Serpa got swallowed up by that Nieve group.

and miss people getting dropped?

 

[Alphabet]

Evans should never again attempt back-to-back GT's.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Evans should never again attempt GT's.

Fixed that.

 

[The Hitch]

funny, Evans found himself up in the gc 1/3 of the way through the gc battle at the giro, then they cancelled all the mountains and he ended up with that position

Fixed it for you

 

[ebandit]

ha Ha

i dunno...........it's funny seeing him attempting to match cav on a climb

Mark L

i know i'm bitter and twisted after seeing him 'wheelsuck' for years

Lol a lot in the air ..

froome bike can move back and forward.

Nobody should, at least not for GC. Giro-Tour double is impossible in contemporary cycling. That's why I never believed the rumors about Nibbles doing the Tour. He's way too smart to make such a mistake.


Anyway, Cunego dropped from 18 riders in the break??? How bad has he become?

It was a stupid decision by BMC expecting him to back up in the Tour when he was already weakening in the third week of the Giro. Scarponi dodged the Tour because he was too fatigued and Evans said he wanted to sleep for a month or so. Dumb.

5km, time to dump a few sky domestiques

casar always rode the giro and tour. Performed better at the tour.

Maybe cadel didnt have much choice in the matter. He is an employee of bmc

At a much lower level. Stage hunting.

 

[Ferminal]

Shack are winning the Tour!

 

[Cyclope]

Ryder better somehow stick with Rolland now

Same reason Gilbert was included. That obviously worked out as well.

top 25 while stage hunting is pretty solid.

Rolland will be lucky not to lose 30 seconds on the descent. Ryder might have to wait for him.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Time for you to admit your mistake, Ryo?
