Initially Power planned to ride for the win there, right? sad to hear about his knee problems, great talent.
Didn't know, thanks.Ruudz0r said:Power will not be in Avenir he has ended his season (some knee problems after a crash in Alsace), Haig will lead the Australians.Bushman said:Because Tour de l'Avenir is a race where the riders in u23 can show themselves and maybe get a contract with a professional team. Therefore, I think it's stupid to have riders like Lopez, Latour or Henao who have ridden at least one season in the World Tour compete.Fearless Greg Lemond said:Care to explain? Why wouldnt Lopez and Latour be able to ride there, for instance? Or Robert Power?Bushman said:Allowing world Tour riders to take part in Tour de l'Avenir is the dumbest decision ever.
Power doesn't ride for a professional team this year and should go there no problem.
Another Australian talent Alex Edmondson (not a climber though so not for GC avenir) has also ended his season with knee problems.
