Four bunch sprints and a prologue, more or less. Wouldn't be too excited. But good to see him putting a number on his back again.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Fausto today was 89nd in the prologue of Germany tour.

His previous result in a similar prologue in June, at the tour le Suisse, was 162nd

Mathematically we can conclude he has improved his level by almost 50% since June. Perhaps this means he will have some great form in the upcoming races

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Fausto confirmed for Quebec and meontreal.

He was training in Switzerland after Lidl tour. Lots of hard mile

Last year he did them and he came 23rd in montreal , hopefully this year a better result.

The team has captains: Julien alaphilipe , and the 'forum mascot ' Ilan van welder, the 'belge machado' they are calling him.

Tomorrow . Big race 👍🚀

No good results in Canada, what's even the point? 2021 it feels like a dream

This is not the time to lose faith. Instead you should start believing even harder. Being a fan of a very successful rider is like being in a tourist infested spot by the Danube river.

He needs a different environment, maybe then it'll get better

I don't think Bratislava is particularly tourist infested if that was what you were going for.

It wasn't. Ilmaestro said himself, that he had avoided going to such a place, and he doesn't seem to pick his favourite riders based on popularity either.

Should be a walk in the park for him. Only rivals of note in the race are Hirschi, Ayuso, Van der Poel, Kragh, Tiberi, Wright, Armirail, Gall, Vendrame, Costa, Ryan, Pithie, Gaudu, Madouas, Molard, Mads P, Skjelmose, Aranburu, Laporte, Lemmen, Kron, Turgis, Kluckers, Brenner, Kulset, Cort and Jungels.

And just tell the pilot you're busy, I'm sure they'll un-delay it then.

Were you supposed to be on the 15:05 flight to Baku? Or the one to Helsinki at 17:00 which has now been delayed until 19:30?

Jokes aside, it's a pity how much he has regressed. He was a good climber, had an attacking style and a decent résume, highlighted by a Giro stage win + Top10 overall, 3rd at Romandie and 2nd at Lombardia.

Right now he is simple pack fodder, and he is only 30 years old.

Yes. I echo these thoughts. I try to hide my sorrow in humour. He was such an exctiting rider, now I'm looking for top 10 on coppa bernocchi as a big result

This one turns into a melancholic version of the Froome's thread

If Fausto had somehow managed to get Froome money from Lefevre it would be hillarious, mainly Pat's meltdown.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Returning to racing at Giro dell'emilia tomorrow.

Team has remco, vanseveneant, Ilan van welder.

A big week for Fausto is coming up

 

[Ilmaestro99]

DNF in emilia. Along with every single rider in the team. Remco probably need the whole team for comfort after climbing off.

Tomorrow Fausto at coppa bernocchi , a race where he has 2 top 5 finishes. Hopefully he can continue the streak, but his level looks worse than ever.

Still no contract news

Fuasto is saving himself for Il Lombardia so let's get ready for a big battle with Teddy!

As far as I am aware his participation in lombardia is dependent on his performance in the next 3 races , and he is not even sure to be in the squad

 

[Salvarani]

Rooting for Fausto in the next few races!

Fausto has been confirmed for IL lombardia

I noticed in coppa bernocchi he cross the line next to remco. Probably remco values such a rider in the team

I'm sure Remco does, Fausto's problem is that Patrick does not value him so highly.
