Teams & Riders Brandon McNulty is the Next Great American Hope Thread

[Hugh Januss]

He was still going full throttle through the ITT for no reason at all, instead of conserving his energy and helping his team win the race, while he was always one of the first to be dropped in the other stages.

Alaphilippe should have conserved his energy yesterday so he could do a better leadout for Merlier today.

Many times.

The question was HOW many times!

'Magic legs' comment was sarcastic. Considering how easily he had been dropped on an easy cat 2 climb the day before, he was surely saving himself for ITT. Which shows what kind of teammate he is. There's a reason why he hasn't raced with Pog since the 2022 Tour.

Yes, because he was making those decisions not the DS, right.

Jerzy Janowicz, the Polish legend. With a bit stronger mentality and less fragile body the dominant #1.

Not GT material

We know he is too prone to a jour sans to be relied on as a leader in stage races but surely he has to be ill to lose so much time today.

 

[Juan Pelota]

still a mystery to the sudden drop off. Haven't seen any news of illness or injury.

UAE has diddly for GC now, big time stage hunting in 5-4-3-2-1

Brandon McNulty just finished one of the most dramatic rides I've seen. Sliding out, under a guardrail at speed, then going through the brushcutter tumble down the bank and surviving it was very lucky.
Getting on his bike and riding with his heart to the finish was nothing short of character defining.
Total hardman stuff.

 

[jmdirt]

BMc with the win...and GC lead!
Congrats!

 

[Juan Pelota]

I assume if he's racing this, he's not on the roster for Lombardy.

 

[Potomac]

He is clearly inspired by Hirschi this season.
