Apart from that horrorcrash in 2013, how many times did he crashed the last 2 years?trevim said:He strikes me as a new Igor Anton: one of the best climbers on his day, inconsistent as hell and very prone to crashing and getting sick.
Maybe that crash just stick in my head but I always get the sense that his best level is way above his average level.Arredondo said:Apart from that horrorcrash in 2013, how many times did he crashed the last 2 years?trevim said:He strikes me as a new Igor Anton: one of the best climbers on his day, inconsistent as hell and very prone to crashing and getting sick.
I know im biased but I was very confident the Yates brothers would be more successful than Chavez. It seemed in the Giro that he was getting very tired so perhaps is struggling for stamina and recovery over a long GT, of course this can get better with experience and the Giro was very tough. Perhaps next season look to target stage races that the Yates's don't ride and stage hunting in the Vuelta.SergeDeM said:Is it just me or does it look like OGE will most probably get a better return from the Yates?
I'm thinking Chaves isn't GC material, or at least not for a GT.
He was better last year.staubsauger said:I wouldn't write him off already. He ain't looking like a gt contender so far, yes. But he's probably still one year in delay with his development, because of the nasty crash and those injuries he has had.
Just look at Landa this year.
Yes,but he didn't race since TdS, I was surprised by his shape.Escarabajo said:Good job Chavez. He picks his victories well. Please keep it coming.
I guess he understand that he is usually very strong during the first week and then fades away the 2nd and 3rd. So he had to do it quickly. Good for him.
