Steinhauser is released today on Giro stage 8!

Be ascared, be very ascared.

Steinhauser is released today on Giro stage 8!

Be ascared, be very ascared.

Still looks a bit undercooked but hopefully he'll smash the breaks later in the race like last year.

 

[Potomac]

EF looked good today with Carapaz getting the stage win and moving up several places on GC.
They seem to be all in supporting his GC ambitions.

I hope he can podium and I dream for the win, week three Carapaz is usually the best. Would also be huge for the team, it's been a while since Hesjedal.

 

[Potomac]

A year ago EF had 13 wins at the point in the season, but only 4 this year.

Interestingly the number of WT wins at this point is the same for both years: 3

They only got a total of 4 WT wins last year. They might tie or exceed last years WT win total, but no way are they going get the same total number of wins last year: 24

Today was a bonus day! Stage win with Carapaz allowed to do control work in the pursuing pack. Look forward to he and Roglic hammering some UAE nails.

Has anyone seen or heard from @Potomac? I’m sure they’ve been on a real bender from this Giro.

It was only beer and I wasn't driving. Perfectly safe.

4th WT win from Asgreeen.

And Steinhauser will rule today.

I'd hoped for this during week 3. Carapaz must be feeling waaaaaay confident after a*skicking the "favorites" today. Good luck RC and EF!

 

[Potomac]

I'm guessing the TdF will be all about stage hunting for them.

 

[Potomac]

Dauphine start list on PCS is pretty sparse for most teams at the moment.

Listed for EF at this point:

• -CHAVES Esteban
• -ASGREEN Kasper
• -HEALY Ben

Where will Powless go, Dauhphine or Suisse?

 

[theyoungest]

I saw this Instagram post by Jonathan Vaughters from last week. He's acting like he somehow saved Carapaz from the scrap heap when he signed him for big money after he came 2nd in the Giro... if the pundits forgot his name it's because he hadn't done that much since joining your team, mr. Vaughters.

Working with Richie is complex. The guy lives his life. To the fullest. That’s for certain. He is not a robotic cyborg programmed to peak the interest of Peter Attia’s podcast. Hell, Richie wouldn’t know who the F that guy even is. But, I suppose that’s what @efprocycling is all about. We pick the riders that somehow got lost in shuffle. The ones deemed too much of pain in the arse to deal with by the other teams. And then we win with them, right about the time when the pundits forgot their names. Well. Say the name. Richard Carapaz.

PCS is showing more EF rider names for Suisse than for the Dauphine

• 61COSTA Rui
• 62ALBANESE Vincenzo
• 63HEALY Ben*
• 64HONORÉ Mikkel Frølich
• 65MIHKELS Madis*
• 66POWLESS Neilson

That’s a decent team, especially with Healy back in action and Honore with supercompensation from Giro.

 

[Potomac]

I'm not sure PCS has anything correct with EF lineups at the moment, wit Healy down for both Dauphine and Suisse.

Asgreen also two places at once.

Levert opvallende kopbeurt voor Carapaz, Dries De Bondt straks een nieuw contract op?

De razend spannende ontknoping van de Giro d'Italia zindert nog altijd een beetje na. Dankzij een verrassend vroege aanval op de Colle delle Finestre zette Simon Yates zomaar de twee topfavorieten, Isaac Del Toro en Richard Carapaz, een hak. De Zuid-Amerikanen keken vooral naar elkaar, maar ze werde

Expect De Bondt to join these cheaters lmao.

Only mistake is talking about it.

Don't they know that cloning people is against the rules?!

He was auditioning for the part.
He's in his 30s, I don't know what the market will be for him. EF currently has the youngest WT team.

This is the style of rider that jayco should pursue to strenghten their non-existent Classics squad.

 

[Potomac]

Now PCS is showiing this for Dauiphine.
I haven't seen anything from EF on twitter

• HEALY Ben*
• -CHAVES Esteban
• -BAUDIN Alex*
• -NERURKAR Lukas*
• -RYAN Archie*
• -SIMMONS Colby*
• Mackellar
• -VALGREN Michael

EF is the worst team through 5 stages of the Dauphine

I got to watch Powless win a 1.1 race in Switzerland today.
Thank you, Max.
