The north remembers you know
I don't really feel like following the race anymore. I'm of course going to, because I always do, but I had really big expectations built up, and they just vanished in such a horrible blow.Valv.Piti said:So 2 of my absolute favourite rider crashes out of the time trial on stage 1.

I read an interview with him some time ago where he complained about his TT-bike and he didn't feel comfortable on it yet. Could be a an explanation for his mediocre results in that discipline and the crashes so far.yaco said:It's the second ITT he has crashed out in 2017.

Yeah, I hope they all stay healthy until TDF. Something like Nibs, Pozzo, Delfino, Izagirre*2, Sitsou, Navardauskas and Haussler sounds fairly strong team in all terrain of next year race.yaco said:Got to think Izagirre x 2 will be vital in the TTT - I am happy with Bahrain's strategy for the TDF.
I guess you mean Abu Dhabi? Dubai isn't WT, Abu Dhabi is.Valv.Piti said:Ion Izagirre is really going to hunt WT points this year. First Down Under, then Dubai, PN, Pais Vasco, Ardennes, Romandie, Suisse, Tour de France and Vuelta. He could easily end top-5 with that schedule.
