Sebastian Henao Discussion Thread

[Bushman]

This surely is an extraordinary GT debut. Bodes well for the future.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

today one of the strongest in the race. when he went full gas, landa and many dropped. also kept countering kreuziger. amazing. I will wonder if it will come to a switch in leadership, who sebastian will support this coming giro...

 

[Red Rick]

You probably mean Sergio Henao? He has another thread.

Re:

I don't think he does.

Sebastian did some monster turns on the front today. One of the strongest in the race is probably pushing it a bit though, but I was definitely impressed.

 

[Vasilis]

Really? I actually hardly saw him at all today, although I wasn't fully focused on the race, and maybe I just didn't recognize him somehow, but good to know he's going well.

Was the last man in Sky before Landa and Checho, lead the group in Aia until the attack of his cousin.

maybe open your eyes next time you watch the race

 

[May0maniac]

He looked really strong. His biggest strengh is probably his recovery, so the 3rd week of the Giro should be perfect for him.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

he's also very explosive like sergio.

 

[Escarabajo]

He was doing big pulls at the front. He will be important for Sergio today as well.

Re:

I'm sure i saw a interview with the coaches of sky saying that young Seb is more of a diesel engine on the longer climbs.

 

[rick james]

Interview with him for last year...all promising stuff

[Ryo Hazuki]

yes, that is true. he's more for longer climbs. but he's also still very explosive. not as sergio though. sebastian is more natural climber and henao is more build also like a sprinter almost

With Landa gone, it is time to unleash Seba and his magnificent 3rd week. White jersey can still be obtained.

Yes, he already has pretty good legs and he's a beast wen it comes to recovery, super strong in the high mountains. It won't be easy (he's almost 12 min behind Jungels and 6'25" behind Formolo), but now that he has a free role he has a shot.

Jungles will fade, he's not good enough to stay on the climbs of the last 9 days, and I think Formolo will struggle as well I can't see past Henao for white

13th on Alpe d'Huez(he wasn't in the breakaway so it was an incredible ride by him):

Also this where he finished with Fuglsang and Anacona from a breakaway:
http://cqranking.com/men/asp/gen/race.asp?raceid=27956

Also this where he finished with Mollema(he wasn't in the breakaway so it was an incredible ride by him):

I don't think he was doubting his talents as a climber, the question will be wether Jungels can perform consistently for 3 weeks, which were about to find out. Other than that, not much can be said thus far.

12 minutes are a lot.Though he can also fade like Gallopin or Thomas in last years Tour or like Porte in 2014 Tour.

True. One bad day can really screw over your GC ambitions. It'll be an interesting watch. Don't think Jungels has ever been in this position before, dealing with the pressure that comes with defending a pink jersey and his GC.

You do not even need to lose 12 minutes in this current climate of riding for your GT to be over. 3 minutes with the 4km MTF attacks is pretty much GG

 

[Escarabajo]

Jungels is very good and he is motivated. It is bad that Sebastian has to make up so much time now. It will be hard but not impossible.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Yeah, as Forever pointed out, Jungels went extremely well in the Alps last year, but question is how much energy he spent in the first 2 weeks compared to this year.

Not good for his chances. Lost another minute.

Yeah, he's too far back for the white jersey. Should try and win a stage in the mountains.
