From Racehorse to Donkey

[Fearless Greg Lemond]

Petacchi is one year younger as me, what do people expect? He had his prime 9 years ago. He is no racehorse - donkey. Please.

 

[roundabout]

Yeah, he is more like donkey-racehorse

 

[PedalPusher]

He hasn't performed well in GT's since 2009, but he's always been there in one week stage races. He could still win some of those ofc.

Imo guys like Karpets Haussler, Bennati or Davis are much more interesting.
They've had big results in their career, but are obviously underperforming.

Yeah, Haussler big disappointment this year after a lot of pre-season hype...

To me the wreck with the car throws Levi's season out as being good evidence of anything. Doping, not doping, whatever it just changes stuff when you have to recover from that trauma.

Meh, broke my led once, tibia, was back in full form in two months. LL has had many crashes over his career, last years TDF was probably more traumatic..

 

[staubsauger]

Levi is just no longer part of the army! It was already predictable when he announced his move to Quick Step.

The benchmark has been set. Something spectacular will be needed to beat this kind of decline.
