Teams & Riders Derek Gee is the new G

Nothing to worry about. It's actually a good result considering the rough ride he had changing the teams.

I don't know. He was actually decent in UAE Tour, it's downhill since then.

I would think it should be the opposite - horrible in the first race and then gradually get better.

The UAE Tour is a really easy race, though. Everyone is in early season form and it's normally just ride in a big group until something happens for 20 minutes late on. Like Zone 1 for three hours + 20 minute threshold test. I can imagine that it's easier to perform there when you're in bad form or have a poor base than in the ones he's struggled in.

Well, Derek Gee was horrible in Milano-Torino (which isn't exactly hard) and the first stage in Catalunya.
Unless he had an illness/crash between UAE and mid-march, he should've been better in those races with his UAE shape.
