Re: Re:



I had the impression in his first few GTs as team leader that the pressure got to him but then he had a really good Tour riding for Contador and even looked better than Contador. I guess he is similar in a way to Tejay in that he never achieved the results his early career hinted at. Both of them seem to struggle under expectations but Kreuziger has had a really good spring in the classics this year and Tejay went much better in the Giro as a stage hunter. Both of them should maybe concentrate on what they can do well instead of what they might do well. But it seems that their teams have made the decision for them.

Rolf Aldag (his former teammanager isn't he?) said during the Tdf broadcast that he was living and training like a perfect professional from early in his career. So as he is getting older he doesn't have much room to make up for the few percent he lost due to aging. Also he said that with him it's maybe not even that much due to normal aging, as he isn't that old, but from accumulated tiredness after being pro for such a long time.

Crazy he didn’t go to the Olympics. If this was 4 years ago he would have been a dark horse. He has definitely been going downhill each year after 2018 classics wise.

I sure wasn't expecting to see this thread!

And also... which race would he have been a dark horse for 4 years ago? :p

Because I got curious when I saw that it was at the top all of a sudden.
I was half-way expecting a retirement announcement.

Sometimes you just have to check up on everyone every once in awhile. Honestly that could be next the way things are going and out of contract.

Except we all know Rujano is going to win the Giro this time. Heck in 2019 I guess he said he was coming back to race the Vuelta because he could win it.

If it keeps going long enough, Jeison's grandson might win the Giro eventually...

The Rujano thread rightfully lives on because sooner or later Savio will sign his boy Jeison.

To restart an old debate. Tour 2013. He looked stronger than Contador in the mountains. Quintana and Froome were in a different league but the podium was within reach. Could he have done it?
