Re:

He should have gone this year, even if it meant less pay. He couldve ridden the Giro at the Bahrain Team as a co-leader.

Co-leader with Nibali? No way...

Re: Re:

Good move to stay at Sky I reckon. Doubt he could win the Tour on another team but why not have crack at the Giro as co-leader with Landa? Then one or both work for Froome in the Tour. Also, should get opportunities as a protected rider in Flèche and Liege, alongside Poels and Kwiato. Maybe Amstel too. Also, some of the early season week long stage races - Tirreno, Paris-Nice, Catalonia, Pays Basque, Trentino. If not the Giro, maybe leadership in the Tour of California? Finally, maybe protected role in Vuelta and Lombardia. Not bad possibilities whilst riding for probably the best and highest paying team...

Froome leads Vuelta & Tour
Landa the Giro (but Poels wants this leadership also)
Poles and Kwait lead n Ardennes
Froome, Thomas & Landa will lead early stage races ...with a plethora of riders waiting in the wings including Kwait

Henao willfind it hard to get leadeship.... SKY don't do joint leadership
As I said a pity he didn't go elsewhere

How has Kwiatkowski done anything to deserve leadership in the Ardennes? Nothing since 2014 (the Amstel win in 2015 was down to luck and a smart race, he was in very poor form). Poels has had 2 good results in his career in the Ardennes, both this year. Henao has much more pedigree in those races than Poels, and is better IMO. He should, be leading, or at least co-leading, in every hilly one day race, maybe with the exception of Amstel.

Well both Poels and Kwait have won Ardennes classics and though Kwait has not been great this season he will be good next year I bet .. Poels is one of SKys top men and willbe given leadership in Ardeenes as they need ot keep him sweet and becasue he can win

This is the way it is...Henao has to get in line..If had gone somewhere it would not be an issue
Simple really

Re: Sign here if you think Henao is a future star on the eur

super win. GREAT WIN!!! Colombian nat road champ

he crashed, jersey ripped on his shoulder, points to his knee before crossing the line.
the TT champion Pantano gets 2nd place

grande Sergio

 

[Netserk]

Great to see the jersey on Sergio. I hope we will see him in a free role before Itzulia (will he only ride P-N before that?).

 

[MatParker117]

Imagine Castelli will follow the British Cycling model as Sky tend to do with NC jerseys.

 

[Escarabajo]

Great to see Henao win!!!!!

So happy for him.

 

[rick james]

really happy for him

Re: Sign here if you think Henao is a future star on the eur

Grande Sergio Ready for a support role in Paris-Nice than to strike for gold on Pais Vasco.

Can't see why Sergio would support anybody in P-N. He is better than the ever inconsistent Poels. :lol:
Will Thomas ride P-N? Regardless, he should have a co-leader role.

no P-Nice, Thomas is on the Italian races program. so Tirreno-Trentino-Giro I guess

 

[Poursuivant]

What GT's is Sergio doing, does anyone know?

 

[Poursuivant]

PCS has him to do TDF.

I would love him to win Basque after coming so close a few times

 

[Ricco']

Pais Vasco has much more ITT than last years, I don't think that the route suits him so well this year.

So Kwiatkowski to lead it for Sky?

 

[Escarabajo]

He is not doing Giro. I think he is one of Froome's men in the Tour mountains.

 

[barmaher]

Did he have Seb Henao to help him, or did he do it by himself?

I ask, because Seb was supposed to start, but isn't on the PCS results.

Sebastian did help him. First to bring him back after a crash, then to pull back a couple of minutes from the breakaway.

 

[barmaher]

Thank you.

On a sidenote, I noticed that the defending champion, Edwin Avila, was wearing Team Sky mitts.

[DNP-Old]

He will debut the jersey at Paris-Nice this weekend. Do we have any pictures yet? I've seen something on Twitter, but that wasn't official or anything, just a design made by a journalist.

 

[DNP-Old]

Sky just confirmed this. I love it.

 

[Netserk]

Nice. I hope he'll do well enough in P-N to get off the leash more often.
