Re: Re:
But the Nibali version of Astana and the Contador version were strong teams let alone the Discovery team that Contador won with. Anyone would think they were riding with no team. Sky changed the way a race is controlled with their tactics that are very regimented but a strong team is a strong team. Some of the greatest GT riders of all time had strong teams. Nibali's lack of GT success in 2017 was more about his own form but his team certainly needs to be strengthened. I do think though that in the 2017 races Froome relied on his team more than ever simply because Froome 2017 is not the rider he used to be but the lack of consistency and form from others made it easier for him and like Dumoulin he still has the benefit of great TT ability which is where he makes most of his time gains these days enabling him to keep winning GTs.Durden93 said:Sky and Bahrain are not comparable in their ability to cobtrol a race.dastott said:Didn't Nibali win his last GT thanks to a strong team? By far the strongest in the race...
