Ethan Hayter discussion thread

[Velolover2]

Hayter and Pidcock are a similar riders. Trouble in the Ineos camp next year?

I suppose they both want to target the same races: Strade, Flanders, Amstel, Liege and some of the smaller stage races.

And add in Ben Tullett in a year or two. Ineos have a seriously good classics squad. Maybe they'll play multiple options like Quickstep rather than Jumbo and Alpecin.

It would be in both riders interests to have that credible 1-2 punch that can give numbers in the final selections and create an attacking finale.

To summarise the CN front page article - Ethan is happy to come 8th in the Worlds ITT since the course doesn't suit him and is longer than anything he's done before.

"I thought a top 10 would be really nice today so I'm very happy with that ride," Hayter said after finishing the race. "It's great to see Filippo has won, too. It's amazing.

"I would have preferred some climbs, obviously, being smaller than those guys. I prefer to punch over some climbs, being a bit more of a sprinter and track rider. Today I wasn't at 100 per cent, but sometimes that's good not to be super fresh for a time trial.

"I'm very happy with today. I could have improved in a few sections and obviously I didn't get to do a massive amount of time trial training in the end but I'm happy."

He hasn't looked at the World road race course yet.

"I've not actually looked at the course, to be honest," he said. "I've been so busy going to races. Now I have a whole week to do that."

For the rest of the season, he plans to ride the Italian autumn classics rather than aim for Paris-Roubaix, followed by the British National Championships, and possibly followed by the track World Championships - if the UK get an invite (they skipped qualifying events for some unknown reason).

"I think it's more likely that I go to Italy and do some one-day races there," Hayter said about his upcoming schedule. "I don't personally feel ready for Roubaix. You've got to be fully committed and at the moment I'm not sure. At the moment I'm going to Italy, and I really enjoy racing there."

He's been killing it all season in 2 disciplines. I don't know which current rider he resembles most? He's punchy, can climb better than average , can TT... Maybe a poor man's WvA?

 

[TMP402]

Kind of a low-key start to the season, but he got his first win today.

 

[samhocking]

He finally not only recovered from covid, but critically not been sick since Paris-Nice. Should start picking up some good wins now. He's looking good for Flanders, Fleche & Liege anyway at last.

 

[TMP402]

And then today he loses a minute.

And then today he loses a minute.

Isn't this type of stage a little too hard for him at the moment?
Up and down all day and more than 3000mt of climbing overall.

 

[samhocking]

Yep, he wouldn't be on for a stage like today, he's more a classics rider who can climb a bit like wout and ala. Will watch it later, but I'd imagine he worked early doors. His big objectives begin next week, so he'll already begin easing back for the taper I'd think. Flanders I'm sure is a big peak for him, not Coppi.

Okay - happy to withdraw. I pegged Ulissi (who was only 25 seconds down) as a good comparison.

becoming?

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

I've said it before in one of the race threads, but i think Hayter has to be very annoying/frustrating to work for as a teammate. Dangling at the back, caught behind crashes, dropped behind gaps, moving up late and wasting energy at money time...

Agreed, and also I have hardly ever see him return the favor. If he is a domestique he usually gets dropped before he was of any use.

 

[Lequack]

He's really done very well in the mountains in the Dauphine. I love his riding style, he looks so effortless and efficient and his back is straight, instead of being hunched over like a lot of others.

 

[Strawberry_Jams]

and leo wins the second stage of the baby giro...we might have to do a yates and have a double thread.

 

[Anderis]

What was the reason for his 2023 results being much worse than in previous two years?

Several crashes. His last being at the Dauphine and he only returned in August

 

[Berniece]

I like how direct he is in his interviews, and discusses everything in the open. Looking forward to see him reach his old level, and hopefully improve on that.

"Beetje zoals bij Ineos", Ethan Hayter looft Soudal-Quick Step, maar ziet ook 1 minder leuke gelijkenis met ex-team | sporza

Brits kampioen Ethan Hayter is een van de nieuwe namen op de loonlijst van Soudal-Quick Step. "Een verademing in vergelijking met Ineos", omschrijft Hayter het zelf. Maar er is één ding dat hem voorlopig wat minder gunstig stemt: het ontbreken van een grote ronde op zijn programma.

Good finish today EH!

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Solid win for Hayter. Ain't many in the peloton that can go north of 55 km/h on a flat 10km route assuming neutral winds.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

It's interesting that he's still so good in ITT's when he's one of the worst riders on the world tour on road stages.

I guess he is just more comfortable and his track background helps more in these. Especially in the flat and fast ones.
