I would ask the team doctor but he probably forgot and lost all his notes and laptops on the subjectYou would need to ask the other teams.

Have a look at who they are up against.anyone remember Sir Dave admitting after the Tour that other teams had passed them by without them noticing? it's pretty amazing that it only took them 5 weeks to catch back up and blow past them all again and now their 7th best climbing domestique is about to win the Giro.
Kelderman was 4th in La Vuelta in 2017, only lost 3rd on the Angliru on the penultimate day.Have a look at who they are up against.
Look at the top 5 in the Giro GC and tell me which one of those has ever been near a podium.
check out the Vuelta GC from last season. Tao finished half an hour behind Hermann Pernsteiner, who he is now 10 minutes ahead of. we could do this all day.Have a look at who they are up against.

It is an Ineos issue, because it's pretty much a continuation of what they have been doing for nearly a decade.^ both missing the point massively
This isnt an Ineos issue. This is a cycling issue.
Again, go and look at the top 5 and have a think about whether any of them have and real background.
(Red Rick...Kelderman did get 4th. It is irrelevant where or why he didnt get 3rd. He didnt get it, and that is all that counts)
You can't outdisgust Ineos.I'm sorry you can't dream big and I'm sorry you don't believe in miracles. ... the people that don't believe in cycling, the cynics and the skeptics, I'm sorry for you.
Edit: but I'm kinda happy they upped their game right away, Sunweb was getting disgusting.
I don't believe in Fuglsang as a GT rider but it's very notable that his two best mountain domestiques abandoned by stage 2.Well, this strategy does only work, however, if you know that you are the strongest with your "calculated" efforts when you bring them. I have the impression that Fuglsang, for example, also rode a really controlled and conservative race with paced efforts. He simply was not good enough. So, the real magic happened in bringing Tao (and Dennis) to this ridiculous good level.
WHAT?I'm sorry you can't dream big and I'm sorry you don't believe in miracles. ... the people that don't believe in cycling, the cynics and the skeptics, I'm sorry for you.

Yes.Would Jai have been more believable?
If it had been a conventional stage today, he would have won.
Froome is in a universe of his own when it comes to disbelief. Thomas got lucky.
I would add that if Rohan Dennis is capable of dominating the mountains like this, he would be a stronger GC threat than Tao.Yes.
On Dennis I think he showed great promise in finishing second to Bernal in TdS which also had high altitude climbs. Dennis problem I think is he can't hold it together for three weeks - a matter of his ability to recover. On one off climbs he is formidable.I would add that if Rohan Dennis is capable of dominating the mountains like this, he would be a stronger GC threat than Tao.
i actually agree with this, in the sense that someone coming from absolutely nowhere and winning is more believable than someone who about a calendar year ago was, while riding for himself, getting dropped on Cat 2s in the 2019 Vuelta winning.Yes.
A bit nasty? Hindley is only 24. Chris Froome was Chris Who before the 2011 Vuelta by when he was already 26.Jai who?
Has better results than Froome did at the same age and showed more potential. This year has been the young guns show.Jai who?
Full name is "Jai who was actually a talented world class junior and U23 unlike a certain Kenyan Hindley" thank you very much.Jai who?
But Skyneos are fine to keep pumping out the GT wins huh...I'm sorry you can't dream big and I'm sorry you don't believe in miracles. ... the people that don't believe in cycling, the cynics and the skeptics, I'm sorry for you.
