Still a pity that he had to DNF the Giro. Would have been one if not the best climber there probably. But also happy that he did such a great build up for the Tour. Thats not always easy when the initial plan was different.
12 Stages and Alps done… And Bardet only 13 seconds behind Pogi in GC. That is a very strong performance from Bardet… He is one of the riders who love riding for DSM. Great for rider and team…
I was hoping for more after Romain's early season and having to DNF at Il Giro, a bike race that he could have podium-ed. Karma could have been kinder to him. Still, Bardet fought hard like he always does. Pas mal Romain...
Hm, seems to have actually improved his disastrous tt skills, good on him. Sadly his GC spot could have been much better but hopefully he gets another shot at the Giro next year.
