Sebastian Henao Discussion Thread

[Gloin22]

Well, seems threads like this come up a lot nowdays, and this guy deserves it.

Youngest rider in the Giro. What a ride today.

He's been very consistent already, but today took it up a notch.

I think many thought a bit that he got the deal because that was the only way for Sky to keep Sergio at Sky - doesn't look like it now

 

[Escarabajo]

Fabulous!!!!!!

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

he is only 20!!!!


and today was pacing his friend rigoberto uran

 

[Pentacycle]

Wasn't Sky convinced that Sebastian is the bigger talent of the two Henao's?

And he's already proving this as a rookie pro, on a stage with freezing temperatures and three giant climbs. This guy seems destined for greatness.

 

[Ruudz0r]

Very impressive and not just today, he lost a lot of time in stage 8 due to a crash without it he would have been top 15, as a 20 year old!

 

[jens_attacks]

well done, il cugino!

They certainly rate him very highly, yesterday he showed he has got some very serious promise.

I would send him to the Vuelta as he would like that route, obviously this depends if he is up to 2 GT's in a year.

Incredible ride yesterday,I hope he will jump in breakway in a MTF.
He has a bright future (when he leaves sky)

 

[SafeBet]

You'd surely want his name to be spelled correctly in the thread title.

2 GTs for a neo pro with an age where most people are not pro yet is a bit to much imo.

the guy is 20 years old it's already almst too much to let any rider do just one gt at ate 20. 2 gt's is ridiuclous

 

[del1962]

Good ride from Seb, as he is in my main game CQ team I am doubly impressed.

Would be nice if a mod corrects spelling in title as this thread could be around for some time.

 

[cineteq]

Heano? Have you been listening to Sean Kelly lately? Fix that now!

Yes I know hence why I said 'if he is up to doing 2 GT's in a year'.

He should do the Vuelta next year.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

the giro may suit him better as he's good in bad weather like his cousin sergio, although I'm also sure he's good in good weather

 

[hrotha]

Even one GT might be too much for someone so young for my tastes, and ideally I'd have had him withdraw after 2 weeks, but it would be such a shame to do that now just as he's starting to show his full potential.

for a normal rider from europe yes, but for a colombian no. sebastian already did the vuelta colombia last year, in which he won the u23 classification and despite what people may thinki the vuelta colombia is like the 4th gt in this world. if you can finish that you can finish a gt as well and he's showing his recuperation and consistancy

Colombians = Übermensch

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

good on you for not reading my post explaining why

and in cycling colombians are definitely übermensch(in your horribly wrong use of the term as hitler asbused it) if you still need any proof for that after this giro you are out of your mind

 

[Escarabajo]

Will Sebastian Henao crack the top 20?

He is very close.

19 André Cardoso (Por) Garmin Sharp 0:47:45
20 Michael Rogers (Aus) Tinkoff-Saxo 0:52:42
21 Sebastian Henao Gomez (Col) Team Sky 0:53:10

 

[Gloin22]

He will. He is far more suited to Zoncolan than Rogers.

Epic stuff from the boy, pretty sure Sky will be giving him new conract with a nice pay rise

 

[Michele]

He did an amazing 1st GT ride, especially by considering that Sky didnt seem to give him a very appropriate schedule with many long and difficult races.

Do whatever you want but leave Cardoso alone
