I know . And there're still many Luis Ocaña fans who re-hash the '71 Tour. Or people in Troyes (and me) who saw Pascal Simon win in '83.I agree. @Tonton; why would you go around making yourself - and me! - depressed like that? No point speculating in what might have been.
Meanwhile, Ineos is sending the same number of GT winners to Denmark, as they're sending toSpainThe Netherlands.
Ineos has a good team for La Vuelta. If Roglic is at only 90%, Carapaz has a decent shot. They're the best run team in pro cycling, minimal loss in the TTT is very possible. After that, looking at each stage, again, each finish, again, and I think that the route sets up nicely for King Richard.
Yes, "King": "Little" is already taken by the Australian in the team. And I hope that Porte gets a win before he takes a bow. He has 33 pro wins so far, like you know who . And Richie has some big ones including the GC in all of the best one-week races. Can he get one more, which was his objective for the season? I think that he can.
