Am I selling their Vuelta supporting cast short?
No.

Uran and Costa DNFed and Uran seemed to have no form whatsoever anyway based on stage 4.
Rafferty was disappointing too, he climbed more like if he was a heavy rouleur, not one of the top u-23 stage race prospects.
Cepeda was the only one climbing kinda decently but I don't think he is very well suited for controlling breaks.

Their GT selections were so weak this year. Carthy no form at all, Powless no form at all, Chaves mediocre, Uran and Rafferty already mentioned, Ryan and Carr omitted from selections (for Ryan it makes sense I guess given how he had health issues and few race days in the previous few years).
Need to have better 2025.

Reading several riders biographys seemingly JV has a habit of waiting and waiting and then makes a derisory offer that riders need to accept.
Yeah, I'm aware of that. But there's no way the team only has 16 riders under contract for 2025 at the moment. I'm not expecting them to announce the full team but it's just silly they haven't announced even one signing or contract extension, yet.

Sometimes I feel like EF is the team that cares about their fans the least. A few years ago I stopped following their twitter because they didn't even post anything noteworthy.

Based on number of wins, this was a a very strong year by EF standards.
This despite going almost 3 months without a win until today's victory by Powless.

We'll pass that along to Neilson...he made the local fans happy today.
