Regarding EBH the story is that he is a dom for Froome. He even said as much himself, he has been training for diesel efforts on the flats and hills, no acceleration or sprinting training. No wonder he keeps getting fewer wins. Such a waste.

Do you have a link?

cheers

You gotta wonder what happened to that guy. He's not even 30. I've never really been a fan but there were a couple of years where he was probably the 2nd best sprinter in he world and then, just like that, he becomes mediocre.

It seems that Farrer was never the same after Wouter Weylandt's death. It's really too bad, an American Sprinter to compete with Cav, Sagan, & the Gorilla would get the American air head press to yapping...or maybe not since they don't know f*ck all about cycling.
 
All 3. Although Boeckmans is overrated as ****, Boy is not really fast enough, Danny has the potential but it way too young.

Danny is a real winner though, one of the few real dominators in Dutch youth categories, but they really should've waited a couple of years before bringing in him. Now it's only a publicity stunt. Expect him to drop out after a week

All three will have a go in the same sprint? That's unconventional :p

Where did you read that? Link? Don't think I've ever seen 3 team mates have a go at the same bunch sprint.
