Been away all week camping so have been totally in the dark about cycling but what a win from Adam!! Amazing rider with such potential (and Simon too).

Me too- Lombardy would be great.Waterloo Sunrise said:Simon leading at Plouey and Adam down for Alberta - I'll be honest, I can't see that Orica enter enough races for them to be split up unless one of them is having a quiet end to the year.
I certainly hope they both race Lombardy, sets up perfectly for their puncheur/climber style.
Waterloo Sunrise said:Alberta starts tonight; solid TTT and then if Adam is on good form there aren't any other riders there who would often take time off him on the climbs, so it will just be a case of making sure nothing silly happens on the gimmicky dirt stage.
GC success; it's just that simple!
Should be fun to watch regardlessTMP402 said:Waterloo Sunrise said:Alberta starts tonight; solid TTT and then if Adam is on good form there aren't any other riders there who would often take time off him on the climbs, so it will just be a case of making sure nothing silly happens on the gimmicky dirt stage.

Well Trek beat Orica by less than a second. Not sure if Yates will be better than Mollema.

This would make me happy- although the profile is probably not hard enough for them to do anything seriousPricey_sky said:Nice performance this week, with Kennaugh not riding the worlds for GB hopefully the twins get a free role.
Waterloo Sunrise said:Any word yet on why they're not riding worlds? Didn't fancy it, or unable to hold in the laughter when Dave rang them up and asked if they were looking forward to giving their all for TeamKennaugh?

Last year, it seemed to me to be Adam = mountains, Simon = hills...will be interesting to see them developing further next year.

This. They both have huge potentialjaylew said:I feel like there's a tendency to want to categorize them and put them in separate boxes but at this point there's no clear separation between the two as far as their skillsets are concerned.
