Rider's schedule 2015 season

[Eshnar]

The field of Strade Bianche looks really good... for now, at least. Or am I just noticing who is going, and ignoring who is not?

Be afraid. I wouldn't be surprised if he wins the ITT by 3 minutes.

3 minutes behind Uran.

Wow no E3, GW or DDV. Good idea to ride the Ardennes. I wonder where his peak will be, probably somewhere close to RVV and PR

cycling info is the best slovak cycling web page. Owners have quite good connection with slovak cycling federation and with ryders too, so probably they have this schedule directly from Peter. It is hard to believe that there will be no preparation race for RVV.

Anyway I will miss Peter kicking Kwiatko´s .... in SB if this is the real schedule.

You can see him get his *** kicked by Kwiatko in the Ardennes though

Thanks!

I'm a little (very) sceptic as to him not doing any races between MSR and RVV.

probably you are right, but lets see what can Bjarne teach him in few months

 

[Netserk]

Liege will depend on the new route. Amstel should definitely be possible for him to win. I just hope he takes it to the next level like Nibali did when he changed Cannondale for Astana. Let's hope he'll try to win MSR solo.

 

[Coat-O]

I don't think Kreuziger would like that. But he is a good plan B if he can't be there. Personally I think Ardennes classics are too hard for him, even Amstel.

It's not like the new course is worse for him...

Alright, let's see how he manage to handle it after RVV and PR. He was great in that stage 2 in the Tour which was about as hilly an Ardennes classic.

 

[Lupetto]

Tinkoff has Kreuziger and Breschel for the Ardennes. Kreuziger is still precarious because of his doping case and Breschel is still Breschel. Sagan is their best choice for those races. I don't think that Contador or Majka will race the Ardennes to go for wins.

Quality races. Can anybody better this?

Not targeting wins though. But I reckon if Contador does LBL to win then he'll have a "better" program than Sagan. Will he win though, who knows?

 

[May0maniac]

Any news about Nizzolo? I think he should race a few one day races together with Cancellara, he was good in Vattenfall and Plouay.
He'd be a great rider for Milano-Sanremo and maybe he could also race a few smaller cobbled races.

 

[cineteq]

Adam Hansen

Good one. But he needs to score points.

Seriously, quality wise, nobody has a better program.
1 x GT1 (TdF)
4 x 1.WT1 (MSR, RVV, PR, LBL)
2 x 2.WT1 (TA, TdS)
1 x 1.WT2 (AGR)
2 x 2.HC (Qatar, Oman)

Not targeting wins though. But I reckon if Contador does LBL to win then he'll have a "better" program than Sagan. Will he win though, who knows?

It's based on their posted schedules, not wishful thinking

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

What kind of lunatic would a prospective team GC leader have to be to choose to race Tirrenho Adriatico over Paris Nice this year?

All of the big names wil be murdering each other and the rest of the field in Italy, while a very prestigious race will have only second or third tier competition.

 

[inthepink]

I am not sure what kinda lunatic Betencur ISN'T but I am sure he is heading for Paris Nice...As is Geraint Thomas

Maybe Valvede will do Paris Nice .... prove once and for all he is the best ..no more will need to be said on the that subject then !!
