If he really has gotten his side stitch issue sorted, he could do much more than just a top 10.Wasn't really Kruijswijk's best domestique in the Alps where it mattered most last year. Should probably get top 10 in the Giro.

Bennett crashed hard during the Galibier stage. Twice. Not sure what people expect from a guy that hits the deck as hard as he did.Wasn't really Kruijswijk's best domestique in the Alps where it mattered most last year. Should probably get top 10 in the Giro.
Whoops forgot about those crashes.Bennett crashed hard during the Galibier stage. Twice. Not sure what people expect from a guy that hits the deck as hard as he did.
You could also say that Jumbo were at least one mountain dom short. De Plus had to do all the work when Bennett wasn't fit enough to pull.
(Kruijswijk wasn't that great to begin with . He was lucky that most of the Galibier was soft pedalled, IMO, as he was not among the very best riders there. )
No, a guy who can lead the Giro with three minutes to number two, two days before the end of the race and only loses due to a crash clearly has no chance of winning Grand Tours.Whoops forgot about those crashes.
Fully agree on Kruijswijk. He's not GT winner material.
not quite, by the sound of it. "George has struggled all week to recover from the Tour with his injuries and illness and when the French put the power on up the climb with two laps to go, he could not go with it.” He is scheduled to do the Vuelta thoughDoes anybody know his plans for the rest of the season and if he's fine again?
Thank you!not quite, by the sound of it. "George has struggled all week to recover from the Tour with his injuries and illness and when the French put the power on up the climb with two laps to go, he could not go with it.” He is scheduled to do the Vuelta though
