Specially last year there were some dodgy things going on, but recently in an interview Terpstra said for example what a great job he had. Even training camps where you leave your family behind for 2-3 weeks just to train were a pleasure as he had a great time with his teammates which is a team without big egos despite it having a lot of winners.laurensde+ said:Etixx vs Terpstra
Certainly not pretty, but I don't think there was a big rivalry. Landa did a lot of work for Aru, despite him climbing better than Aru. Only once he really ignored orders.SeriousSam said:The younger members and newer fans might not recall it, but veteran cycling fans such as myself still reminisce about the great rivalry between Aru and Landa at the Giro 2015.

Recently. Literally days ago. This site has given me a lot. As I stated somewhere else, it took me two years to become a member due to all the trolling that took place before Lance met Oprah. It's unfair. There are many fans, more or less knowledgeable, who should be able (or feel comfortable) to give their two cents without fera of negativity. CN is for fun. Not aggression. There has to be rules, or this site will turn into YouTube, troll capital of the world.PremierAndrew said:Did you become a mod recently or do I have a really bad memory?Tonton said:This...hrotha said:Cunego & Simoni at the 2004 Giro comes to mind. Olano & Chava at the 1998 Vuelta, too (this one was pretty entertaining, as Olano's wife, Karmele, wasn't shy about speaking her mind on the radio during the race itself).![]()
I think it was more of a case of him wanting to be isolated but if you are talking about being isolated in races, he simply never had the firepower in the mountains to help him until Horner came along and then Tejay. Mostly the other climbers would be gone at the bottom of the final climb. He seemed to be much more comfortable at BMC than Lotto and the way his team rode for him in the 2011 Tour did not indicate a team that was not willing to work for their leader. No doubt Evans was a prickly character though, especially when things did not work out for him.kwikki said:Cadel Evans. Not so much rivalry as being isolated by his own team. Seemed to happen quite a lot.
