UAE are really strong but pretty disappointing not to be beating those Jayco and EF teams in the Paris-Nice TTT. Not sure it really justified selecting Tarling and the first half of the course didn’t even suit him.

Just another example of the mess Ineos have become. If I have Tarling in my squad, I'm sending him to a WT race wirh a ITT, not a TTT.

Jayco and EF came second and third in the same ITT in 2023 which suggests they are solid in the discipline.

Not sure I agree with your view.
Surely having two of the best TTers around in Ganna and Sheffield they are more than capable of holding the teams end up in Italy.
Ineos have two guys with serious overall aspirations in PN, so sending Tarling to hep them in the TTT makes more than good sense.

Yeah. Ganna is a must for Tirreno. Then you already have the favourite (despite his middling form at the moment) for the ITT. Sheffield rode Strade, so he is locked as well.

Team looked quite strong in Paris-Nice today so that was a bit more encouraging. Bernal right up there. Carlos is still far from where you’d want him to be but at least he’s taken a step forward from Gran Camino.

Yeah, leave it to me to notice these things. I'm gonna assume this is just a matter of the webpage not being updated, and that the actual important papers are in order.


Otherwise, it could get a bit embarrasing next Wednesday, when he's supposedly gonna ride Nokere Koerse:

"You can't have him on your lineup, he's with a completely different team."
"No, there was change of plans; he signed for us instead. We sent in the pa... whooops."

Just one win so far (unless you count Ecuadorian nationals), officially making this the worst start to a season from the team.

Some fairly decent results not reflected by that statistic, but they need to hit the ground running, and fast.

They seem to have not entered a lot of 2.1 races where they would usually pick up wins, like Valencia, Andalusia, Coppi Bartali. Strange.

Considering PFP's win wasn't on the road, what do you think?

I don't know, that's why I'm asking...

What I do know is that Axel seems to think non-road categories should always be included, even when it's clearly only road races that are being considered.

Huh... PCS has 483 road races, but that would only leave 17 off-road wins between Pidcock and PFP...

Pidcock hasn't won many CX races, and I don't think PFP has any, so 17 doesn't sound unlikely.
