Most disappointing riders so far
who do you think are the most disappointing riders so far in this part of season before the TdF???
-Haussler: i don't know what happened to that guy! he became a domestique for his team but i think he should go to another team to become a leader! i think this guy has a lot of talent , he showed those past years that he is more a top 10 guy than a winner, also he's a little bit unlucky!
-Schleck Brothers: i don't like the way they race. It seems like races outside the Liegi and the Tdf aren't important(especially for Andy). I don't know if in the future we will remember someone who arrived two times second at Tdf than a rider who won races like Paris-nice, tour de suisse, tour de romandie for example. Plus i think that they are not very clever tactically( during the Liegi for example i think they should have attacked at least try to attack gilbert who was obviously the stronger rider). We will see if they will succed at the Tdf but in my opinion they are really disappointing and again especially how they race
-Menchov: honestly this year has been very enigmatic for the russian rider. I was expecting him much better at the Giro. I was thinking before the race that he was going to be the real threat for Contador as i think that the best Menchov could have been standing easily in the podium in milan. Overall i think he is better than scarponi for example
-Cavendish: i mean ok he won 2 stages at the Giro but honestly i don't see him like two years ago that when there was a sprint we knew before the race that he was going to win. He showed really bad condition at the Tour de suisse and i dont know why but he is not convincing me this year
-Greipel: i was expecting a lot from him this year! was he winning with HTC cause he was riding small races????( honestly i have to admit that the way he won the first stage at La Panne was impressive) we'll see if he will contradict me at the TdF
-Farrar: i mean ok he lost his best friend in the peloton this year at the Giro, but from the start of the year it seems like he wasn't 100 % of his possibility, the victory last week in belgium could be a new start for this part of the season
Sastre:very poor race at the Giro. he is struggling with his form in this recent years. In my opinion he needs more race in his legs before a GT. These past two years his condition was embarrasing in my opinion
Freire: i know he is having a surgery in his nose but is he waiting the WC again to show us that he's still alive?????
Devolder: this year was really really bad for the double belgium champion. I hope he will regain his form for the vuelta.
what do you think about it???
other disappointing riders in my opinion were Pozzato before his injury and Hushovd( in my opinion a real world champion has to honor his jersey riding for the win, i am talking about his tactic during the roubaix)!
