Carlos Betancur discussion thread

[Kwibus]

I dont think its necessary...but he may go to san luis.do you know if they are invited?

Ag2r are invites and Betancur is on the startlist.

I tried to post an url, but After a few attempt I failed to do so on my ipad

It was on wielerflits.nl a while back. Ofcourse it was all provisional.

He's gonna be the prospect of the year in 2015. Watch out

he was a prospect back then in 2013

 

[Escarabajo]

He is starting early just like last year. I just hope he is Skinnier. Or less fat!!

he should be good soon considering even without trainign he was out of competition for 2-3 months now while after half april he was out nearly 5 months before riding the vuelta and he'still young

I believe/hope that we will see Betancur back in shape winning races this year. At least that's what he has said to the media.

I certainly hope so, but I'm not sure that we can really take his comments as evidence of form. I mean, what's he going to say? "No, I'm planning on showing up way out of condition again and hope to spend the year hanging around the grupetto."

 

[KubaWinter]

I think he still needs some time to prepare for the season...

 

[Jagartrott]

Beefcake!

 

[markene2]

Beefcake!

lol you forget the weigh gain 4000 though!

But all in all, i hope Betancur can have a great season.. I like the guy, and on another note. Kwiat is looking serriously thin there!!

Wow, Cavs outfit looks bad. A grey cardigan, grey shorts and those socks...

Even I would look thin standing in the same pic a fatencour!

its really stylish imo,those socks are great matching with that cardigan.
I only hate those glasses

Well, i just dislike the cardigan and shorts combination, but that's just a personal preference.

 

[Escarabajo]

Betancur looks double the size as Quintana in that picture!!!

Hope things get better for Betancur this year. At least I hope that he is fit, so he can at least try to fight for the classics.

He looks like a snobbish 11-year old schoolboy I think.

Sadly, Carlos is skipping the Ardennes.

“I don’t think I will be there,” he said. “It's a shame, but it is better to do so to arrive in the best condition at the Giro d'Italia which is the main objective.”

When I read that article in the morning I was surprised as hell.We will see if it has some effect on his giro campaign

 

[fauniera]

That would be stupid. He can win any of the Ardennes classics, i don't think he can win the Giro, at least not this year.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

What? That's just idiocy.

 

[jaylew]

What? That's just idiocy.

I agree. That performance at FW in 2013 was incredible. I can't believe he held on for 3rd. And then 4th at Liège a few days later. What a shame.

Anyway, here's his schedule:

Tour de San Luis
Tirreno-Adriatico
Volta a Catalunya
Vuelta al Pais Vasco
Tour de Romandie
Giro d'Italia

 

[May0maniac]

He isn't that fat right now, with enough racing before the Giro he should be fine

 

[KubaWinter]

Training with this ballast can only help him.

IF he manages to get rid of it when the time is right

 

[Escarabajo]

They are betting on Betancur for a good show at the Giro. So they make him do more racing kms by doing more stage races. Let's see how it works.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

I did read his schedule without the Ardennes at some point but I thought it was just a mistake. That's very weird in my opinion. I don't think doing the Ardennes will hurt his Giro form too much, and he can produce some great results in the Ardennes. Bad decision imo.
