Sergio Henao

[Nick C.]

So when did this thread become less about Sergio Henao and more about a bunch odf serial posters trying to prove that the other guy is wrong. Oh wait it's the internet. My bad.

 

[Michele]

bartoli is one of the classiest rider of the last 30 years

henao has still to prove he can do well at the european level in hilly races.
i am sure he will because he is a great talent.

then, the cobbles are another world.
nice to see that he understand the history of cycling , he has ambitions,he knows the value of monuments.
nice to see that he has different attitude than andy schleck
but being a serious contender for P-R , that is completely different.

sorry ryo, but the hitch +1

Obviously you're right.
I was just joking on the fact that base a possible performance on just the weight is far from being realistic.

The thing that surprised me the most on that interview is that even if he's south american he didnt come up with an usual Tour de France but something rather different.

 

[Froome19]

Umm froome19 also mentioned the giro mountain tt from 2011, to claim that gadret also sucks at mountain tts. so me bringing up the 2010 mountain tt to point out that he can put in a very good mountain tt was perfectly valid.
As either of you boneheads would have realised had you read his comment.
.

I used the giro mountain TT to prove the fact that Gadret is rubbish in TT generally because he was the 4th best climber so logically he should have come 4th or so especially considering Rujano who is not all that brilliant at TT came 4th , there must have been some reason as to why he came 16th which cant be explained as due to his climbing as that was up there with the others but rather to his TT which does to some degree affect even mountain TTs and therefore must have been the explanation.
You can take that as meaning he's rubbish in mountain TT but thats not what I meant.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

rujano is actally quite brilliant in itt despite sickness in the giro. otherwise he would've hammered that mountain itt

evidently you believe contador's name is well and truly erased from the record books and the past all together.

 

[El Pistolero]

Henao has no chance in hell in Flanders.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

henao is doing the agr, fleche wallonne and lbl. oh yes I can't wait!!

 

[hatcher]

Interesting little troika they've got with Uran, Henao, Nordhaug. Not the strongest back-up though.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

nordhaug is their back up

 

[Gloin22]

Lofkvist & Knees are good domestiques for them, overall strong squad but not the strongest, would expect them to get a podium in LBL as that's Uran target out of the 3 classics here. EBH and Henao to share it out for Amstel and Top 10 in Fleche would do nice. Uran not included in AGR, must be his preference or something as he didn't ride last year as well.

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

nordhaug is their back up

What have Heano done this yr that makes him better suited for FW and LBL than Nordhaug?

 

[hrotha]

He kept on being Colombian.

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

He kept on being Colombian.

thought so

 

[hatcher]

He's been back in Colombia for the past month, so he's very Colombian at the moment.

Not really sure what to expect from Henao to be honest. He'll be free to ride his own race from what I can gather.

in the recent CycleSport Magazine Davide Appollonio stated:

"Many people would overlook me for the Amstel Gold, but I think it's one for me. In my debut with Sky, I was hampered by allergies, so I'd really need for it to be a cold and wet day"

so apparently it's gonny be good weather this year as he isn't even in their squad for that race

A lot of riders think they can do well in Amstel Gold. Until they've actually tried to do so.

what has he done the past years that norhaud didn't do. besides it's not just my opinnion but also the opinion of sky. henao are uran are higher in the picking order because they have far more potential and great test results.

I don't expect anything from henao in the agr. you need to know the course from the inside and oud

Well, I expect they will have different leaders for every race whereas Löfkvist maybe targeting Fleche, Uran LBL and EBH/Nordhaug AGR. Henao? maybe a sneaker in some of these races?

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

henao could do well in fleche and lbl. in potential also in agr as he's cunego type of rider. he can place himself very well and is incredibly explosive and has the engine

 

[maltiv]

What are their rest results, exactly? Nordhaug was Sky's best climber at their training camp (Henao wasn't there though) and has scored a VO2 max of 90, so he definitely doesn't lack test results.

I don't think Henao is higher in the "picking order" of Sky, that'd be quite illogical given Nordhaug's results so far this season. Of course, all things normal Uran will be the leader at L-B-L, but I'm quite sure that Nordhaug will be Sky's captain in F-W. Anyway, we'll see in Pais Vasco if he still has that shape. I'm looking forward to seeing the deadly Nordhaug-Henao combo again, it worked quite well in Mallorca

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

being the best at a trainingscamp means absolute horse**** like michael barry and jesus hernandez would dominate at trainingcamps but lacked in everything else to ever be a great rider. nordhaug is a very good rider though but is like 28 and will always be just a helper as we saw also in criterium. no matter how much you want it differently that's the reality we are facing. with henao they realise they have gold in their hands and he's not a helper as a type of person and guys like uran and nordhaug are no winners and more helpers types. uran will be leader though in lbl. that's what he said. you always say nordhaug is leader in some race but he always ends up working. criterium with rogers was the last example

guy who owns trainingscamp is best rider...

So Jesus Hernandez best rider ever??

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

That's a nice mischaracterisation of his argument.

Nordhaug has clearly done more and earnt leadership more, but everyone on this board (including me) wants Henao to be a mega talent who earns instant leadership in his first race. We'll see.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

henao is not the leader in the classics. but he has a free role in every race he starts. that's why he's doing the giro. he's not going to be a future helper. simple as that
