Don't be so sure of that. GC guys are few and far between, he's commanding a 7 figure salary. Guaranteed.carton said:LOL. Benotti being Benotti. I'm sure Porte is really worried about his GC place. No way BMC is going to pay him even 6 figures now that he's way back at 79th. Me thinks he screwed up his career.Benotti69 said:Yeah, only podium contenders are serious about the GTs.........hrotha said:I think his 31st in 2011 is a good hint of his ability when giving it a serious go, at a time when I think he wasn't part of the Teide Troop.
This is all pretty irrelevant, though. We're debating whether he suddenly got x3 or x5 times better this year.![]()
Anyway it looks like Thomas found the not-so-secret loophole Astana had uncorked in the Giro. Riding at the front against the wind on hot days keeps you cool. It's the ultimate marginal gain, I tell ya.
