Teams & Riders Team Visma - Lease a Bike

[RedheadDane]

And I suppose that 13 is Aantwan Tolhoek, because Hoek means Corner or Angle in Dutch but I don't really get the rest of his name.

I think it's because a van is a type of car (and they couldn't find anything for Aant)
And tol is something you pay, so money.

Both Roglič and Pogačar came home today, to Slovenia. Likely a few days of self isolation and more or less indoor training is on the schedule. Currently in Slovenia you can't ride a bike in between two municipalities.

Tom Dumoulin: I'm fit again, but at the moment I can't do much with it

'No one is 100 per cent sure what the virus will do towards the summer' says Dutch Grand Tour specialist

Dumoulin likely is in shape ATM, but can't do much with it. I remember Bernal saying he will rather rest for now, opting out of training.

I guess now the biggest challenge is to determine on when to start training again, for being in good shape till Tour. More should i guess be known in May. If Tour will get pushed to some later date, then in April one shouldn't train all that hard. If not, then not training much in April likely isn't the best option.

I'd guess they'd want to at minimum keep training to keep their base level. However, this is new territory for the vast majority of riders in the peloton.

 

[Escarabajo]

Bernal meant training outside. That was misunderstood. I think he is still training inside but he said that it is not the same.

Have to think they are one of the safest teams going forward in the peleton.

Tour de France: Jumbo-Visma maintain Dumoulin, Roglic and Kruijswijk plan

'The big goal of the year was to go to the Tour and try to win it and that remains the same' says DS Zeeman

www.cyclingnews.com

Just added a notification to the calendar. Just in case i don't accidentally miss TDF 2020.

 

[Escarabajo]

There is no TTT this year at the Tour. Lol. Otherwise it would have been no contest. Seriously, how is going to beat them in a TTT.

Training camp for Tour de France

 

[RedheadDane]

In Tignes, of all places! I guess since they never made it there during the Tour last year, they might as well go have a training camp there this year...

 

[CyclistAbi]

One of the best if currently not the best pro cycling team. And not by accident. They really did a good job in the past four years or so. Another thing going for them is they are a rather likable team.

P.S. Jumbo-Visma Development Team will be in Slovenia for the next two weeks to prepare for the restart of the cycling season. And where will they train you might ask? Obviously on Rogla mountain. Yes, there is a Rogla mountain in Slovenia and no it wasn't named after Roglič!

I somehow got used to Bianchi design and color scheme in relation to TJV. Rumors circulating TJV will be switching to Cervélo, we will i guess need to get used to that.

The training got serious.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Yes, the rumor has been going around. But i hear from some people that the Cervelo TT bikes aren't on the same level supposedly, so i would find it odd (if that's indeed the case) should a team with GC riders and TT specialists opt for a brand with inferior TT bikes.

Another one

Who's their photographer? The pictures always look amazing.

 

[Sciatic]

You can see that Roglic and Dumoulin are staying well clear of “those” shoulders!

Easier to make pretty pics of Roglic and Dumoulin than some other dudes in the peloton tbh.

Training camp for Tour de France

in the first photo who's the one in the right, in front of Bennett, next to Aert??

But I think it's something about the way the riders are put in the foreground.

[CyclistAbi]

How on earth will the podium be big enough this year, on Tour.

President of Slovenia cycling to the sea.

P.S. Showing his true colors.

 

[SafeBet]

Teunissen?

 

[tobydawq]

Teunissen?

Isn't Bennett the one in the front?

 

[SafeBet]

Isn't Bennett the one in the front?

Yes, but perhaps Jungle Cycle meant the one Bennett is in front of.
Otherwise I have no clue.
