That really depends on the individual and especially if you do Giro/Vuelta it's quite feasable cause you don't peak for many other races.yaco said:the bigger picture with Yates x 2 is them not doing too many GT's - My theory is you do two GT's in a year every 2nd year - Both did two GT's in 2018, so both should only do one GT in 2019 - Simon has a number of races he can target in the second half of the year while Adam should only FOCUS on the TDF in 2019 - I'm happy for Haig to ride for GC at the Vuelta.

Adam is under big pressure - We have to understand that Yates x 2 have a BIG influence on the team when it comes to race programs, training camps, overall preparation etc,etc,etc - They almost run the show.

In which case, Simon really f**ked it up! I think Adam can came up with a stage win or two plus a shot at the KOM jersey but that's it.

yaco said:This is another Whitey left field selection - And Simon will be a domestic unless something happens to Adam in the first few days - Surely if you pick Simon then you keep Haig back to ride GC at the Vuelta or MS will have no GC ambitions at the Vuelta - The selection is even weirder when you consider that Durbridge was a last minute inclusion for the Giro and then backs up in the TDF -Anyway anything less than a Top 5 for Adam will be disappointing.

IndianCyclist said:Actually Simon should have abandoned the Giro after it was clear he didnt have the goods to podium and then trained for the TDF. Now it is a waste as support instead of trying to win the Vuelta
I'll believe that when I see it.yaco said:Davesta said:Presumably Chaves will be their Vuelta GC contender, given he's refinding his feet this year?
There will be no GC focus at the Vuelta - It will be about stage hunting.
