Unlike say the Tour de France for which it would be embarrassing to attempt to excuse dominance with the poorness of the competition, for Castilla Y Leon it's actually true.
It's become such a dreadful race it's a wonder sponsors are even putting money into it.SeriousSam said:Unlike say the Tour de France for which it would be embarrassing to attempt to excuse dominance with the poorness of the competition, for Castilla Y Leon it's actually true.
I bet they couldn't believe their luck when Valverde changed his plans and signed up for it; that'll keep the sponsors happy for a couple more years. Imagine how poor it would have been without him... possibly even bad enough for Betancur to win.CheckMyPecs said:It's become such a dreadful race it's a wonder sponsors are even putting money into it.SeriousSam said:Unlike say the Tour de France for which it would be embarrassing to attempt to excuse dominance with the poorness of the competition, for Castilla Y Leon it's actually true.
The organisers need to step up their game or it'll soon be gone.

But, nah! Aussies don't dope - especially 37yr old domestiques, who beat the best in the world.
DFA123 said:Giro is going to be epic this year. A super-charged Landa against a well prepared Nibali and Valverde, with Zakarin somewhere in the mix as well. And no dominant rider like Froome or Contador who will control the race.thehog said:jsem94 said:Right. Forgot about that. That's ahead of KBK for sure. That final stage was one of the racing days of the season, can't believe I forgot about that.thehog said:jsem94 said:1. Hayman PR
2. Rosa Basque Country
3. Stuyven KBK
4. Contador Arrate
5. Cance E3
6. Sagan RVV
Something like that. Not a particular order, but something like that.
Thomas Geriant Paris-Nice?
Just wait for Landa at the Giro, it will a homage to the pre-health check days.
You must've seen a different race. What I saw was Thomas getting dropped like a stone on the climb and only just managing to make contact on the descent.Scarponi said:That big pleb of a human G Thomas matching Contador like he was the Chicken

Who on earth would suggest that Aussies don't dope? Seriously???

Interesting look at Hyman's power data. He didn't won no lottery, he was a beast. Add his age, training in the garage, good ol' Rabo years and it looks higly suspicious.
Now that is very interesting.

If that's the best/worst dig you and GI Joe can come up with, I'm feeling pretty good over here.
