João Almeida - Bota Lume

[SHAD0W93]

He's back on his bike, together with another UAE rider with a mustache. (had added riding video on Facebook moments or whatever they're called. Those updates that lasts one day. He's always very active there.)

It was good that he left, but how annoying he had to get sick in the first place.

Lost a change for another podium and potentially the win. Hopefully he has no issues in the Giro next year. I wonder why he gets sick easily.

Auto immunity?

Isn't that the most common reason to easily getting sick?

Could be that but also a lot of other reasons might be the culprit. I would think if that was the reason the team would take more precautions around him to try and prevent it from occurring. Could also be the stress from leading and fatigue accumulated over racing.

UAE doesn't care about covid. It's not an Almeida issue.

He hasn’t been sick with Covid only though, but he seems to get Covid a lot even if UAE doesn’t care.

He is just not good enough. He is the new José Azevedo working for his Lance (Pogacar).

At this point it's starting to be ridiculous because obviously something with Almeida is different. He does get sick lot more than the average GC rider and they take zero precaution. I guess they just don't care whatsoever since they're the best team anyway.

Makes me angry.

The rider could do a check-up too.

Last Vuelta, earlier this year, and I think 2021.

Giro 2022?

Giro he had Covid.

Can't remember him being sick in 2021. Early this year I think it was a tooth infection or something similar.
