Regarding Del Toro I think the long term investment is justified because, given he was on a Mexican club team and not a world tour development team, it is highly likely that he has barely scratched the surface of his innate potential.

But how would they draw that conclusion? Cycling is mental not just physical. I think its a gamble they took because they can afford the loss if he flops. But not sure I am comfortable with cashed up teams locking in young talent on such long term contracts before they have won anything significant. When he wins a grand tour that might change but we are yet to see that.

I obviously can’t know it for sure but I would think that training and nutrition at AR Monex when he won L’Avenir with a team where nobody else is likely to ever get beyond CT level is decades behind your average world tour team let alone a team with all the resources in the world like UAE.

I’m sorry but how are Simon and Adam not identical twins? When talking about fraternal twins, the chances of two children looking so much alike is exactly the same as the chances of two ordinary non-twin brothers at the same age. My brother and sister are fraternal twins. My nieces as well. I would never guess they are twins…

And as far as I’ve been able two understand, there’s one source claiming they are fraternal twins based on very poor arguments (noses pointing in different directions could very well be environmental impact) against many sources claiming they are identical. Why should we choose to trust that source over other sources?

Dr Hutch: The Yates twins are a science experiment waiting to happen

Simon and Adam Yates need to be recognised for their honesty in admitting that there are two of them, says Dr Hutch

These articles say they’re identical.

From our friend in the hinterlands of the twittersphere.

“
Info I have tells me that Pog will have two one-week races this year
(UAE and Dauphine)

SanRemo, E3, Flanders, LBL, Rwanda, Varesine, Emilia, Lombardy are safe one-day races

one grand tour- Tour the France

Amstel, Flache and Strade are under a big question mark right now”

Yeah, I also suspected a more typical year is possible (only one GT + all important classics except Roubaix). Normally he would surely choose Strade (plus maybe Tirreno) but UAE Tour is more like a demand of his employer.
