Not long at all…Probably not long before Plapp is dropped. Don't know if Dunbar is still there for Jayco?
Maybe no one, would be a great moment for others to attackWho is gonna work for Pogi after Maddalena? There are 10 km flat
Problem today is that they are dictating a pace where he only has Majka for the flat before the hill. They could easily have kept a pace where they would have another helper in reserve.UAE are so laugable, not bringing more climbers in a race like this
I'm never a fan of it, nulls a lot of racing for later in the race.Nothing like blowing the cobwebs off on the first stage
I think it matters with an eye to July. If Thomas and co start trying to exploit the team weakness then it won't impact Pogacar's ability to win but it might mean that he just has to expend unnecessary energy in this Giro.Would it matter. Pogacar could win without a team probably
Grosschartner just didn't have it, the plan was obviously to have two over this climb. Point is why bring 3 riders who like Molano, Oliveira and Laengen? 2 of them at most should be sufficent with Bjerg and NovakProblem today is that they are dictating a pace where he only has Majka for the flat before the hill.

Yeah, better to have flat stages where some gc riders crash and DNF the raceI'm never a fan of it, nulls a lot of racing for later in the race.
Yep, recent Giri have been well received due to the racing late in the race.I'm never a fan of it, nulls a lot of racing for later in the race.

Laengen is super usefull. Molano and Oliveira notGrosschartner just didn't have it, the plan was obviously to have two over this climb. Point is why bring 3 riders who like Molano, Oliveira and Laengen? 2 of them at most should be sufficent with Bjerg and Novak
I don't see how early gaps neuters racing in any case, regardless of the past few editions of the GiroYep, recent Giri have been well received due to the racing late in the race.
Oh wait, no, they've been largely slated for being too unselective, backloaded and dull until the last few days.
Didn't readi it. so could be true. His form dropped off a cliff at Romandie, and hasn't magically re-appeared in the last week. If they don't have any left to ride for on GC, he might as well drop out.Didn’t the main page name Plapp as their main GC leader instead of Dunbar?
Yes, but thats not point. It should really not be hard to understand it? Molano specifically has no business being hereLaengen is super usefull. Molano and Oliveira not
Not entirely.Yep, recent Giri have been well received due to the racing late in the race.
