Uran out with Covid. Let’s hope it hasn’t spread around the team.

Thanks!
On the podium yes. But he's only ahead of Tao, because of Tao's shemozzle on stage 2 and hasn't looked stronger all year.
How does Thomas want to stay those 2 seconds ahead of Roglic? Bonus seconds alone and Roglic passes him. Then I would be very surprised if he can stay with him all the time in the mountains. He doesn't have that punch to attack and create a gap either.
He just doesn't look like Ineos card to play if they intend to win the Giro d'Italia.
Thomas can be damn good in GTs where he stays upright. And he is very canny about pacing. His Tour podium last year was a master class in knowing when to expend energy. He's been riding grand tours since 2007, when 7 year old Remco was kicking a football around his backyard...
EF: "Slow TT, are you sure you don't have Covid?"
Uran: "Pretty sure"
EF: "We'll just tell them you have Covid. They'll understand"
I agree he isn't the attack type, but there is still the final TT. So if he can limit his losses to less than a minute, he is still dangerous. So just being close to Roglic should give roglic the pressure to think about where to spend his efforts to gain time.
Lets hope Uran hasn't been in close contact with Healy.. i'm expecting another stage for him...
True. But I think Thomas also showed his level in last year’s tour when he finished with Vingo and Pog on the Alpe. Combine that level with canny pacing and staying upright and he can be a podium threat at this Giro.
This feels like a fitting explanation to me <3You obviously haven't listened to his rants
And where are all these banged up bandages? I've never seen one. I totally respect and am sometimes awed by his obvious talent. But he behaves like a prima donna 12 year old and it really turns me off. I admire your empathy
I've already said he's the John McNroe of cycling so

Having a zoom lense behind him? He‘s further away from the 1 K banner, yet everything in the background looks bigger. Maybe he gained more from backdraft from the TV moto.

If you rewatch the footage it actually looks even more ridiculous than on the images in the tweet.
That's still pretty far away, and the effect would be more neglible with crosswinds, especially cross tailwind there was there

It really is not. When the barriers start 200m before the last km banner, the moto is barely 20-25m in front of Roglic while it's almost at the km banner with Evenepoel.
It is difficult to know how damage make the crash on Evenepoel. Acording what we see on Liege and on the first TT is quite clear he is affected, but likely not too much.
The problem is that the good part of the race for him has passed, and he has now the hard one. Any thing could happend in the last 2 stages, the one on the dolomites and the had climb ITT
OMG, I didnt see about Covid news

Still better than everyone else, even with Covid. Imagine him being healthy
That’s very disappointing but explains a lot

Just when it starts to look to have the potentials to be the most entertaining Giro in years...😡
***, at least we now know why his performance dunked :/
Pity for the Giro, it deserved a battle. Hopefully he can refocus and go for a new goal. Maybe try the Vuelta again.

His crash threw us a curveball. It was our old friend covid.
Wonder what they'll do now.
