Carlos Betancur discussion thread

Re: Re:

Is riding Romandie. This will show his rate of progression.

If he don't start showing some progression soon he's going to be training to ride the Lake Chelan Century Challenge with wackjobs like me...

He has progressed decently so far, he did a good ITT under the circumstances. There is a MTF in Castilla on Sunday so I think he should wait to judge him.

Or we can just judge him now.. top-5 in Tour de France!!!!

He won a continental race.

Good stuff

Of course, it was about time someone came in and killed the vibe, trying to downgrade this victory. He beat Peillo Bilbao, not exactly the worst of riders out there.

It's a miracle!

 

[Brullnux]

Yes Betancur!!

 

[jens_attacks]

The beeeeeeest bananiiiitooooo!!!

 

[LaFlorecita]

Omg I am close to crying vamooooos Bananitoooooo miticoooo!!

 

[SeriousSam]

The falsest of dawns

 

[gerundium]

Well that was not what i expected to see when i opened the homepage of CN. Great job by Bananito! I hope his upward trajectory continues, he can really be a top level rider i think.

 

[Brullnux]

Betancur for GC? he has around a minute on Bala. I guess Bilbao could take it

A stage.

I dont know still the results, but he beated Peio Bilbao, who was close to Contador and Quintana in Pais Vasco, so of course is not a bad level.

He has the talent and he looked quite thin in the picture. He was at this level last year Giro anyway.

With that logic the fact that Peter Sagan won the ToC last year should mean that he would podium the Tour de France. lol

I'm glad Carlos is back in the winners circle, even if it's not a WT race. Winning is contagious, hopefully this gives him the confidence to go deep in upcoming races.

Am I the only one that keeps refreshing the procyclingstats page to make sure this isn't a mistake?!

I can't believe this

Video anyone?

It ain't over 'til the fat man rides off into the sunset.

Really pleased to see him get the win. No photos yet but there was a great one of him smiling beforehand on Twitter which bode well for the race itself.

[Forever The Best]

Wow.Betancur

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Check out that game face.

 

[Mr.White]

It's a ticket for Ardennes...

 

[DNP-Old]

We need a finish photo.

 

[Supimilian]

Good win.
The third week of the tour suits him well, so good move taking a season++ off just carb loading. Should be strong.
I'd say podium. At the very least.
