Are we sure Carlos Betancur even exists, like for real? Im starting to wonder if this was all just a dream.
Betancur the new Zubeldia?


But he is one better than Zubeldia ...at least Zubeldia turns up and races...Betecur doesn;t evn turn up

What he needs is that DS who used to text Pozzatto every day with the words "Don't eat" ...whoever he was

Nothing better to start your season than a 300 kms one day race. I dont think he will finish the race.
It'll be good for him to put in some effort, be it for himself, be it for the team. I'm just assuming he's going to start in País Vasco, and then he'll actually have somewhat of a decent build up and form going into to classics.
 
This guy could be IMO next Valverde. Even being overweighted he had one of the best accelerations in peloton and could fight in Giro toe to toe with pure climbers - beating Majka to the white jersey and Niemiec, Pozzovivo in the process. Sadly he's now known as Michellin Guy. Maybe he could call them and employ for a Michellin mascot job. Salary is propably quite good so he could then be at least financialy secure without tackling this devilish and unhuman thing known as diet.
