Re: Re:
I certainly rate him as a rider and he could still have a future at OBE; the issue is at what level and will he be given the precedence at some races that he may be seeking ? They may see Edmondson as a potential "like for like"; maybe even an enhancement thus rendering Durbridge a "nice to have but not a peak priority" as against others who are up for renewal. I'd certainly have had him lower on the totem pole than Howson (already re-signed) and Impey.
Then again, I could be very very wrong ..... and would have zero objection in being proven so
He rode the cobbled classics, TdS, TDF but not the Giro. Since then, he's ridden San Sebastian, Hamburg, Ouest & the 2 Laurentian races so, in fairness, he hasn't been shunted off riding in the minor leagues.42x16ss said:Very strange, it's his type of race. Having said that, Durbridge rode a full classics season along with the Giro and Tour. Is he racing at Worlds?yaco said:Dirk could be onto something with Durbridge - Not on the entry list for the Eneco Tour in which he could have a crack at GC,especially seeing there are two TT's in the race.
