Talansky, Ryder?
What's going on with these guys?
I thought JV had the team in check for the new era and the speeds are down?

He won a stage and got a 2nd. Pulled a great performance overall.

This new era of cycling reminds me of the last new era.
But yeah, even Garmin can win an occasional stage. Seeing Talansky get shelled like a circus peanut today didn't give me much confidence in the the new cycling.

So Rohan Dennis has gone rogue?thehog said:Looks to me Saxo with intel from Rogees have dialled up the program. BMc will have done the same as Och is no stranger to what is required.
French teams will always do what they've done and dope in patches.
Sky will see that Saxo are a force and make sure the program is tuned team wide.
The Arms race is back on. But in a new form.

Talansky was 'crap' in Romandie/Vasco too. When Bram Tankink is able to hang on longer on such a climb the ball is in Talansky's park imho.
Or it is extraction time of course. Or he is just a young rider having ups and downs. Or he is sick.
The Canadian fellow climbed faster than Talansky, says a lot.
And, here's Johnny with the answer:
Jonathan Vaughters @Vaughters 3m
Hmmmm... Tough day for Talansky. He's still recovering from stomach flu. However, I see a glimmer of a special ride coming from another...
thehog said:Oh god. Do they all have the flu?
There was a time when the Dauphine was "withdraw" week.

He is not from Turkey so he'll be fine. Wasnt there another Europcar rider in Turkey who was pretty okayish?thehog said:From Pinotti's twitter:

Some data from today's stage 1 #dauphine : col du Corbier 22'30" 5.4 w/kg ,20.5 km/h , drafting. Vam 1500 mt
Pretty high w/kg for an early climb, particularly considering it was a large peloton where the drafting effect must have been pretty big. And Veilleux didn't even lose time on the peloton on this climb...he must've been pushing at least 6 w/kg

And Garmin won LBL after all with 2 riders (Hesjedal + Martin) showing great form that day.
Hesjedal was pretty good at the giro until the rain/cold weather made him ill.
I wouldn't search to much into this
