Teams & Riders EF Pro Cycling

[Dazed and Confused]

If true the decision will likely make the race even more spectacular. Hopefully more teams will follow the same idea.

After three stages of the Basque country, things are looking bleak for EF...

Rnk	Prev	▼▲	Rider	UCI		Time	Time won/lost
45	11	▼34	HEALY Ben			13:12	-12:54
55	59	▲4	CARTHY Hugh			14:01	-12:54
65	61	▼4	BAUDIN Alex			14:59	-13:50
87	134	▲47	RYAN Archie			16:55	-14:59
89	130	▲41	BATTISTELLA Samuele			18:33	-16:40
97	43	▼54	BELOKI Markel			19:48	-18:51
130	125	▼5	VAN DER LEE Jardi Christiaan			20:39	-18:51

I was wondering what had happened to Carthy. Surely this is a pivotal year for his career.

Almost a candidate for the "Whatever happened to..." thread by now.

EF had 24 wins last year, and only 2 so far this year.

My theory is they decided they were safe from relegation and went with youth and cost savings for this year.

They have the youngest WT team.

He's gotta be gone next year.

OK, make it three wins if healy can pull this off ...

JV saw your previous post, realized how poor their showing was this year, and told the team okay, time to grab another win

He raced very good.
regardless of wins the team exposure from Healy and Powless is really outstanding, they are in the camera view for hours, of excellence!!
Rui Costa scheduled for Amstel Gold, suits him and 2,3 Giro stages are in his ability, running out of time and was racing hungry before multiple injuries!!
Team has some bright spots..Mihkels and Bettiol, Van Den Berg are due for something!!
