Last years TdF prologue was quite remarkable improvement. Almost nothing before...than boom! Bit odd. Is it just me or Stef Clement declined in TTs in IAM?Dekker_Tifosi said:No idea. But LottoNL, albeit their many mistakes, do have good TT training since last year. Look at Kruijswijk in the long ITT last year, and the good al round TT's by their entire team in the TDF prologue.
Bianchi's and LottoNL are doing a good job in the TT department
Pitty people are getting older, I liked him. At least van Emden made big step up in 2015, maybe before TdF though.Dekker_Tifosi said:Bianchi introduced a new TT bike after the fiasco 2 years ago with Belkin. Since then they have been steadily improving, the TDF prologue wasn't that big of a surprise. But since they selected all their best TT men it became extra apparent.
Clement is also getting old btw, so no big surprise
Not Wiggins. Rogla is gonna be much more entertaining in the mountains. But we should replace Landa with Contador in the title. Crushing the opposition in ITT and uphillGeraint Too Fast said:The official Primož Roglič is the new Wiggins thread.
He'll make Rabofail great again, his first gt is probably a bit too early for it, but he'll be a contender in 2017.Mayomaniac said:Kruijswijk-Roglic 2016, make Rabofail great again.Dekker_Tifosi said:Well if Kruijswijk is on his Giro 2015 level and Roglic can hold a good level for 3 weeks they'll be a great duo![]()

Theres alot of room for another GC star at Jumbo, theres no way their gonna let him slave for Kruijswijk if he drops somewhere early and Rogla stil feels good. They got someone like Keizer for that.Lequack said:jens_attacks said:normally he will crush everyone in the mountains. normally.
Hopefully he is given a chance, but I'm afraid he might have to domestique for Kruijswijk.
