Well it's what I meant - most will be staying in EuropeThat is not my interpretation - There are around 40 to 50 riders from Australia/NZ who ride in the WT - It is impractical for most of them to return to Australia or NZ with the current restrictions.
I swear he lived for this time of year, TDU bashing was a ritual for that guy. Probably made over a third of his posts.The worst aspect of COVID is the withdrawal of Jancouver.
Nah, Durbo's pelvis is still in one piece...I'll just wait for the comparisons to good old Remco.

She's only 20, she's got plenty of time. But yeah, I think she's a Evenepoel-level talent and will be a superstar in women's cycling eventually. I honestly think she's already got the level to compete with the best in the world so I agree it's a bit of a bummer that we'll have to wait a while longer to see that on a regular basis. She seems to have an infectious, positive attitude as well, though it could just be her youth.Gigante rides away to win a sprinter's stage by nearly 2 minutes in the women's race- She is the most talented junior female by far to come through Aussie ranks - It's a pity that she signed for TIBCO who run a limited European program and of course she never left Australia in 2020 to race - Her talent is being wasted.

On another note, glad to see the forum is still hanging on. Been on a sabbatical for the most part since the 1st week of the Tour.
Kennedy is possibly slightly underdone coming off her wedding and honeymoon but still seriously impressive considering Kennedy was over 30s ahead of 3rdGigante wins up Willunga Hill by a lazy minute from Lucy Kennedy - Such an undoubted talent.
Training ride from Porte, but what else was expected...
Nice to see that we've returned to some semblance of normality.

The more important ride was Plapp - Won stage 2 and on the wheel of Porte on stage 3 - Remember he came 2nd to Remco in the 2018 World's ITT - Get him off the track after the Olympics and he will be in the WT peleton in 2021 - And he's only 20.
They also weren't as fast as previous yearsJust catching up with this, but a 20yr old TT specialist bridged to Porte and gifted him the win on Willunga? you wot?
