You know it's peak off-season when users are arguing about who is the rightful 'King of Willunga'.

So Green Edge have Hamilton, Meyer, Edmondson, Groves , Durbridge and Howson riding the rebadged TDU - Howson and Groves must have been last-minute decisions as they've just come out of quarantine - Porte is the favourite BUT he has just come out of quarantine so will have lost shape.

The worst aspect of COVID is the withdrawal of Jancouver.

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.

Nah, Durbo's pelvis is still in one piece...I'll just wait for the comparisons to good old Remco.
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.

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.
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.
Have no idea why Gigante never joined Team Bike Exchange - You are right, she would be very competitive now in the bigger races in Europe.
Gigante wins up Willunga Hill by a lazy minute from Lucy Kennedy - Such an undoubted talent.

Kennedy is possibly slightly underdone coming off her wedding and honeymoon but still seriously impressive considering Kennedy was over 30s ahead of 3rd

Nice to see that we've returned to some semblance of normality.

Today if you put Gigante into a LBL/Fleche Wallone/Amstel Gold she is a certain top 10 and possibly a top 5 - Think Tibco receives an invite to these races.
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.

Yes, but that doesn't change the fact that Porte won on Willunga hill.
Look at Richard already in top form, what a professional, ready to go full Hainault on Bernal in this years tour I can only assume, a push for yellow perhaps?
Just catching up with this, but a 20yr old TT specialist bridged to Porte and gifted him the win on Willunga? you wot?
