I suspect he'll have a lot more time to pursue that interest in the very near future.

For the very very very very very very very remote chance that they could get him cheaply and he'd actually lose weight and win a major race?
Yeah, probably not gonna happen.
I don't think that he'll demand a big contract, so signing him wouldn't be a high risk, he could do well in a team with a few other Colombian riders. The best thing for his career would be to move to Italy or Spain with his family and signing with a team that gives him the opportunity to ride many races in that country and Giro and/or Vuelta, he could ride many races and still have his family close to him.Afrank said:roundabout said:

He went to Colombia to be with his family. He returned from Colombia in no condition to race.
The best thing for his career is to actually train between races.

It is a pity this man, I thought he will be one of the strongert in La Vuelta, but he is again lazy...

Ryo predicted this, "AG2R shouldnt let him go back to Colombia, he will go out of shape again." Or probably his post went something like: "AG2R are *** morons for letting this fat piece of *** go back to Colombia to fill his gut with burrito's every *** day."
Ryo was right. Ryo is always right.
Ryo was right. Ryo is always right.
Does anybody know why he wouldn't start tomorrow?
There was rumour he was sick and he posted some pictures from Europe? To me this all makes no sense at all.

Re:
Was that so hard to predict? The difference, I suspect, is that, to Ryo, AG2R is to blame.
This brat deserves no respect as a 'rider' whatsoever, in my opinion. I seriously don't know what's cruisin' his mind to act this way. Does he think fortune will eventually seek him out of nowhere? Does he want the best of both worlds whilst doing nothing to deserve it? If he just wants to live life and eat saturated fats when he feels like it why doesn't he man up and just quit the sport? No, he likes the paycheck at the end of the month when he didn't work for it. Nah, can't have my sympathy.

He does live in Italy with his wife and son during the season as far as I know.
Also all the "too fat" *** is so 2014 by the way...physically he looked relatively good all year. It's a matter of motivation I think - or really a severe disease, if those "Angina" rumors are true

Well, if he is sick is another thing, and I put my words appart.

Before we jump all over the guy, do we actually know anything or is this all speculation? I haven't seen a source for anything about him being fat and/or out of shape or not showing up to race.

his wife and son are currently with him in Italy at least, and they also were before/during the Giro.ILovecycling said:
