Team Bike Exchange have suffered the same issues as EF - It could be a race to the bottom.
BikeExchange have done much better than EF so far, though.
Marginally better - They are heavily reliant on their big riders who are just off top form.
If they won't have a rider in the top10 in LBL, they will have gone the entire spring without finishing a single WT classic in the top10.
He loves LBL so much that he has a 67% DNF rate in this race.
Yes, they need to figure something out! IMO, JV needs some other brains to help him with the building process, and then the racing process.
Today: Was Howes long range their only plan? I like the move, but what if it doesn't make it (it didn't), then what/who? Carr? Valgren? Higuita? If Valgren hates the race he better not be part of the plan. The team mentality isn't correct IMO so they aren't going to do any better until they figure this out.
Fewest Top Tens Without a Win category?If they won't have a rider in the top10 in LBL, they will have gone the entire spring without finishing a single WT classic in the top10.
That's quite true.I don't think they have the riders to compete for the Classics and one day races.
I mean, if it's one the same level as last year's Giro kit I don't mind their antics.Giro kit won't be unveiled until Thursday.
The tension is killing us.
Have they partnered with a new sponsor.....Floyd's?"Kit that will give everyone a warm and fuzzy feeling"
Sounds bit Boulder Dude, eh?

Hmm, he was great in both UAE and Tirreno (until the hypothermia). With a bit of luck, he could have been on the podium of both races. He has the tools to at least win a stage in the Tour, and I'd guess that he can follow up on Martinez's win in Dauphiné.Higuita can't find his pre-lock down level. His recovery seems gone. Both in TA and Itzulia he completely collapsed in the last hard stage of the race.
