Riding Ugly: Fernando Escartin | Velominati
Occasionally, he would wet himself in the presence of bullys. Sometimes, getting the job done…www.velominati.com
A decade ago or so there was quite a lot of discussion about how bad Froome looked on a bike. I would like to point out that Barloworld Froome is a Marlon Brando for Healy. Healy on a bike must be one of the ugliest things.
The anti-synergy of a dreadful skin suit with a poorly groomed beard, the awful hair, the terrible lean that makes Cadel Evans look like a beacon of symmetry...
Ben Healy (EF Education-EF) has talked about becoming a stage race contender. You can see the incentives, a contract measured in millions rather than thousands to start with. But so far no GC bids this season, we’ll see but as ever if he can get away solo he’s hard to pull back and can climb and time trial with the best at times, it’s doing it day-in, day-out that’s harder.
I hope he gets a result.. I didn't think of him as GC contender..I will warn you that Irish are not known for man meat.. But if you checked for adequate or better than most cycling spheres I will take your word for it!! Just wondering how Armstrong is feeling about all these references!!Uniballer!!I was reading Inner Ring's preview of the Dauphine this morning and here were is thoughts on Ben Healy
That's first I've heard about him having serious GC ambitions. Could he really become a serious GC candidiate?
[For the record, I like Ben Healy and I believe his balls are adequate, if not better than most. But I have no insider knowledge. I say this only because of the stress this forum is putting on balls lately]
Are you sure 🤣OK, after one stage of the Dauphine he is clearly not a GC candidate.
Yes, he should please do a Van Avermaet!So uh yellow jersey in breakaway on Wednesday?
It is good to see him yellow.Are you sure 🤣
He has some of those qualities but he is a serious solo rider.Healy reminds me of his fellow countryman Dan Martin. Strong on climbs, not quite strong enough to be a consistent podium contender. Not particularly elegant on the bike, the head leaning a bit to one side. Their teeth have similarities too. 😆
I know. It was a joke.It is good to see him yellow.
But what is your final GC prediction for Healy in Paris?
Such a big engine that I wouldn’t expect for a rider if his size/ type. Very impressive that he kept his speed up for the length of the final climb after pulling the 10 km or however muchHard to not like Healy.
And what a rider he has become! So strong.
Great to see him in yellow.
