Gosh I never thought he was a political person
Maybe why he doesnt seem to be racing
Actually, he got some ongoing knee issues ... at least that is the official reason behind his no-show at the Pais Vasco
Add Albanese and Capiot to that list, and possibly Fedi too. At least he struggled with the knee all of last year.yaco said:So that's Konig and Haussler who have been out all year with knee injuries - Haussler is a knee capsule issue and guess Konig is tendonitis - And Chaves has been out for 2 months with knee tendonitis.
Albanese already started his season with the Settimana Internazionale Coppi e Bartali, at least he's back racing.Squire said:Add Albanese and Capiot to that list, and possibly Fedi too.

Can't remember so many knee injuries earlier, although it's not really a surprising cycling issue.
Also Nizzolo with tendonitisSquire said:Add Albanese and Capiot to that list, and possibly Fedi too.

He has been back training for the last 2 weeks, I don't know when he'll return to racing. He has been out for a long time, after all he was supposed to start racing in San Juan but then the tendonitis thing happened, so his whole preparation was pretty much ruined, I don't know if he'll be ready for the Giro.Urbi27 said:LaFlorecita said:Also Nizzolo with tendonitisSquire said:Add Albanese and Capiot to that list, and possibly Fedi too.

BTW anybody knows when Nizzolo will return to racing?
Yes, the team should be all about Sagan and Majka has Buchmann to support him in the mountains (how much support does he actually need to follow wheels?), so letting König recover for the Vuelta wouldn't be a bad idea.Ricco' said:He's back for the Dauphiné.
Hope he doesn't go to the Tour, if he is fit he may achieve what he hasn't done last year at the Vuelta due to the Formigal stage.

Lotto Soudal doesn't really have a GC rider for instance..
Kokoso said:So Leo is honing his form to peak at La Vuelta. I hope he'll get to the Tour team, that would be great way to prepare himself for Vuelta. He could be nice addition to fight for polka dot jersey, too and chace some stage wins. Finally he's healthy, but anyway still unlucky guy... Great talent being wasted. Maybe that's giid for something, who knows.

On the other hand Tour could be nice preparation.Mayomaniac said:He should probably skip the Tour and ride the Vuelta after getting more race miles, Sagan is the big star and Majka was always going to have limited climbing support, the guy's good at following wheels, so just give him Buchmann.
You are joking, right? Or you don't like him much?hazaran said:yaco said:Dropped from the peleton again today - Need's race miles in his legs.
Not sure all the race miles in the world can possibly fix a top 10 GT rider that is being dropped on the slightest of inclines in a frikken sprinter stage of the Dauphine.
He might be OTL here soon. Not sure he is salvageable.
Something like Osterreich will be better imo. Tour could be pretty demoralising if he is still in this shape.

He abandoned the Dauphine. Hazaran wasn't biased nor hostile. Was just right.Kokoso said:You are joking, right?

Just wait for the time trial.
