Rujano has been spotted training for this up coming Giro. Rumors are he will race by himself. Interviews with experts Savio and Ryo confirm this is the best shape the 39 year old has been in. His motivation comes from watching Valverde still compete and his recent win.



We can't let the thread off the first page!

It was a smart move by toby to rename this thread again. It's been going down since then. Nobody wants to be called lying when all you do is seeing the deeper truth.

"Super ITT from JV Harper - only 10 s away from Pogačar."
Well, this statement would be nice for "Move along - nothing to see here", but it is not a lie. So I can't post it here.

UCI is preparing new rule: every team will be allowed additional team member only for non-littering purpuses. (S)he will be resposable for collecting all bidons, wrapings, bad bananas,... from other members of the team in time of race and will present them to race jury to be counted at the end of the race/stage. The fastest will earn 3 seconds for each of the other team members. If an item is missing, team will have to delegate another team member for this duty.
For test period of time this rule is valid for all Fameous NO race today events.

The first idea was that one of existing team members should be doing that and they tested in secret on the last stage of PN with JV.
Yes, it is not an easy task to pick up 2 bad bananas.

Even crazier, the hilly classics are around the corner and no one is talking about 6 star favorite Roman Kreuziger with best finishes being 1st in Amstel, 4th FW and LBL showing he has the tenacity to go the destiny. Further he is in such good shape he doesn't even need his team to be invited to take part. He gains automatic invitation, with or without his team. Look to him to be attacking all throughout the races with a signature spring borrowed from past greats Gilbert, Cunego, Moreno, Rodriguez, Valverde, and Gerrans. Thus establishing as the rider to beat the 6 who are "unbeatable".
The prophecy has spoken, be prepared for something spectacular. Or WVA winning Amstel, Alaphilippe FW, and Alaphilippe LBL but that'd be boring.

Alaphilippe trying to do in LBL what Sagan has done in MSR can't be that boring

He doesn't have a chance in Amstel.

Gasparotto won in 2012 and 2016. So, as we are again in a Olympic Year, Amstel is his race to lose.
