They just have to go write on all the roads and set stuff up before hand, especially in Spanish races.Just sad the fans won't be able to say goodbye to him.
Just about everything he's racing is in Spain. It appears the Ardennes and Olympics are literally the only races he's racing outside of his home country.They just have to go write on all the roads and set stuff up before hand, especially in Spanish races.
Hopefully, but what about the end of May when his home race has been rescheduled?By the time Vuelta comes around enough people should be vaccinated so there can be spectators allowed, don’t you think?
I'm assuming you mean aside from the Olympics. I really didn't think he would. Although it sounds like several of his teammates want him to go to the Ardennes.I thought you promised he wouldn't ride anything outside Spain at all.
It also sounds he wants to go there too...I'm assuming you mean aside from the Olympics. I really didn't think he would. Although it sounds like several of his teammates want him to go to the Ardennes.
This is more or less why. Although somewhere in some thread I did say something about him starting his season at this race. I guess because everything else for this month in Spain has been postponed he decided to start this one. Otherwise I have no clue why he was in this race. Should have been basically what should be the flat/cobbled classics team. From what I've gathered it was just to get racing KMs.I have to say I am a little shaken that Koronin has not reported that Valverde got his season debut today in Almería. Luckily he came through unscathed. Quite a stupid race to ride for a guy like him. The Spanish Scheldeprijs.
It would have to be for Strade Bianche. He likes that race and hasn't raced it the couple of years. So may be why.Italy? He's not on the Trofeo Laigueglia team. Is he expected to ride Strade Bianche and/or GP Larciano?
I dont think he has a proper calendar. Probably they are making it day by day, acording to his feelings and Movistar needs.A bit strange how he always has to be so secretive with his races.
I think you're correct. His plan was to race the Spanish calendar, but that's gotten screwed up due to postponed and cancelled races. So likely at this point it's whatever he feels like racing.I dont think he has a proper calendar. Probably they are making it day by day, acording to his feelings and Movistar needs.
Well most of the early Spanish calendar has been postponed or cancelled.So, it's 2-1 for non-spanish races..
Nevertheless, you spent the whole of last year lecturing us how he would never set foot outside Spanish soil ever again.Well most of the early Spanish calendar has been postponed or cancelled.
