Is it true they all live in the same house along with Betancur?

they all live in houses that corti owns. betancurt doesn;t live there

 

[Escarabajo]

he's injured still

Oh well. Nothing can be done about it.
Thanks.

He meant Uran, Quintana, and Henao, who live together in Pamplona.

oh yes that's correct

 

[Duartista]

oh yes that's correct

Also, I think Argiro Ospina and Dayer Quintana live there as well now. Do you know why Ospina didn't ride Castilla y Leon?

yes they do. don't know what's wrong with him. I guess will do madrid and asturias, however movistar are so small now, they barely do any races outside wt. ospina I think will do dauphinee and route du sud similar to quintana last year, but I think no gt as he's too toung

 

[The Hitch]

officially confirmed no chaves in giro

noooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[TANK91]

Is Ospina going to be a very good rider, im Movistar on Pcm lol and Ospina is not bad. Ive never heard of him before this year will he be like Henao and Quintana.

 

[TANK91]

So Ryo do you think Duarte will go for a top 10 if in shape? big if I no, or maybe go stage hunting.

I wrote a while ago on my concerns about Corti and his approach to cycling-specially on how he "ruined" Soler's best years during Barloworld, but Ryo & many here said I was "exaggerating" & he should be praised for putting the team together... well - guess what!!! Guess why Chaves is out and everyone is under performing.....


HE MUST GO

To be fair, you can't blame him for Chaves crashing and getting injured.

Hopefully his programme will be something like that, yes. He needs to start gaining experience on the continental circuit, as he never raced in Europe before. It's difficult with the Spanish calendar being so drastically reduced.

reason chaves is out is because he crashed and shatted his right collarbone. he needed to be operated and it can't be helped he's not in the giro.

corti was a fine director for westenr riders in the 90s and maybe 2000s. but cycling hasn't sit still. his old approach doesn't work with the colombians, they are horribly undertrained in the cold italian winters. why do you think all other colombians live in spain. corti should be sacked and will be sacked after the giro but with him the whole project will die since corti owns everything. the houses the riders live in, the license, he has all the contacts etc.

it's ironic that when they were colombia es passion they were in great shape under saldarriaga but received no invitations and now it's the other way around.

he said he will go for a good gc, probably top 5 I'd say. they also want to win kom probably with atapuma

 

[The Hitch]

[Ferminal]

So with a 15km TTT and 55km ITT that means he'd have to be about the 2nd best climber.

unless rujano is great he should be the best on paper, but will see how form is. till now isn't good and also duarte isn't horrible itt rider, far from it

85 92 DUARTE AREVALO Fabio Andres 1986 COL COLOMBIA 4:43'23 21'35

how is this possible? with 5 km to go he was still with bouet

 

[Ruudz0r]

85 92 DUARTE AREVALO Fabio Andres 1986 COL COLOMBIA 4:43'23 21'35

how is this possible? with 5 km to go he was still with bouet

That was Pantano

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

That was Pantano

no that was definitely duarte.

 

[Ruudz0r]

no that was definitely duarte.

Dont think so I was looking for Duarte aswell as he is in my team in some game. And at first I also thought it was him but then I saw number 84. He was the only rider from Colombia in the group at that moment and that was just before the group fell a part.

 

[CraZyCaLL]

no that was definitely duarte.

No, it was Pantano, number 94

 

[Escarabajo]

Don't worry guys, with Fabio Duarte you never know what to expect. So don't scratch him out yet.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

duarte was there in final climb with number 2 of his team. when pantano was already taken back. so still what happened to him to blow 21 minutes in one climb

Well - don't you folks find a bit of "coincidence" that Soler was crashing constantly-"regardless his awful bike handling skills"-Under Corti's overview?

Unzue mentioned many times how "weak" & "unhealthy" was Mauricio when he arrived to Movistar, so as soon he started to rebuild him- he begun to show improvement & his "accidents amount" decreased enormously in comparison to the one while in Barloworld.....

Most importantly -Was Froome "underperforming" too due to Corti's guide? what I'm implying here is A PATTERN set by Corti-every time a talented rider is under his care....
