What's going on with these guys?
I thought JV had the team in check for the new era and the speeds are down?
Now that the peloton is clean the French team finally have a level playing field.thehog said:Talansky, Ryder?

And as I mentioned, they can win a stage on occasion. Did you not read my post? The issue is that they're getting hammered in the main stage races. P-N was an exception.Eshnar said:and....?
He won a stage and got a 2nd. Pulled a great performance overall.
This is the new new era which is newer than the old new era.Moose McKnuckles said:Finished two and a half hours down on Nibali at the Giro.
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.
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.Fearless Greg Lemond said:Must be a sharp virus.
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.
Oh god. Do they all have the flu?Fearless Greg Lemond said:So Rohan Dennis has gone rogue?
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...

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

Look at the Giro. I assume Tommy D. came into the race in good form to support Hesjedal. He is capable of a top 10 on the juice (Vuelta) and supposedly top 10 off the juice (Tour and Vuelta). He trains in Colorado so he has know how to ride in the cold. How did that work out for him?thehog said:Talansky, Ryder?

Drafting on this climb would be ~5% of total power saved. If Veilleux has the same time then he is at ~5.6-5.7 w/kg which should be okthehog said:From Pinotti's twitter:

Agreed, and this is only the first stage. Lets at least wait and see how they're going by the end.Dekker_Tifosi said:Talansky was ill
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
