What type of rider is Turbo Durbo going to be?
Obviously a huge engine, but what events will he find success?

Tony Martin MKII but with a reasonable turn of speed courtesy of his pursuit background. Still very early to tell though, he's even younger than Phinney...Ferminal said:Serhiy Gonchar.

Martin is more talented as a climber than Durbridge is, so I don't know if the latter's scope is really that much bigger. In fact, so far I'm not that impressed by his ability to recover after a few hard stages. I can't imagine him ever winning Paris-Nice or whatever.PCutter said:I think he has more scope than Tony Martin. Maybe more David Millar or a lesser Cancellara (not suggesting he's about to become a monument winner) in that he could win TTs, one day races and smaller tours with a TT focus (Eneco, etc, and up to maybe the 2009 TdS parcours which Cancellara won - but that would top out his GC abilities)
