The Jai Hindley thread

[Red Rick]

He is Jai Hindley. Noone else. No new other guy. He didn't have a thread. Now he has one.

 

[Eclipse]

Petition to rename the thread

'Can Jai Hindley wear jerseys even if he can't wear jackets?'

Sensational set of climbing legs on him, but I do hope to see him let off the leash before the end of the Giro to see what he can really do.

 

[bob.a.feet]

Has a nice style in the bike, I'll give him that.

He's a pretty good climber too, I'll give him that.

And he might be our only hope to defeat Ineos.

 

[Forever The Best]

Incredible climbing performance again along with Tao Geoghegan Hart.

 

[Cookster15]

Kudos to the OP. Yes I was wondering when Jai might earn his own thread. A great ride by him today to put alongside his incredible ride on Piancavallo. I'm with Eclipse - would be great to see him off the leash. Stage 20 his last chance to gain time to offset the TT. Obviously he has a teammate in pink so the only way Subweb can support this is if Kelderman cracks. Maybe if Ineos drill it.

 

[Forever The Best]

I thought he may fade, but he proved me massively wrong. And he proved Nibali right. Remember his comment saying that if Hindley goes Wilco drops?

so that's his first own thread.

I don't think he'll win, but he could, this year and probably not any other year i think, but since i'm a terrible talent scout i could be completely wrong on all of those points.

I do like his style on the bike and he appears to be a nice guy.

It's weird that a guy with such a realistic chance to win the Giro before the final weekend doesn't have more hype or followship around him, but it is a weird year.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

so that's his first own thread.

You gonna start one in the clinic?

If Hindley wins the Giro he will go down as the rider with the shortest time gap between having his own thread on the CN forum and winning a GT.
Quite an achievement considering even my grandma probably has a dedicated topic on here.

PS: I voted all the options in the poll just for the lulz.

 

[TomLPC]

Absolutely the right decision to go with Hart today, not entirely sure what Wilco is rattling on about, now Sunweb have 2 potential winners and another stage win instead of one completely nuking his chances to save the other 30 seconds.

 

[jmdirt]

I won't vote because I don't want to jinx him!

He had a bit of a free hand today, but the team needs to play it smart.

Must. Resist. Temptation!

Viviani's bike has it's own thread!

Froome was close probably if you count his Vuelta 2011 as a win.

They seriously always manageg to find the most boring, useless data don't they

 

[BlueRoads]

I don't think he's going to win the Giro since he's not really a better climber than Hart and not a better time trialer than Bilbao, Hart or Kelderman. But who knows.
Anyway, this looks very good for a podium and that itself would be something to be very proud of.

There is one thing he still has to learn if he wants to compete with Evenepoel and Pogacar next year and that is putting on a jacket. But I think he will manage that.

They do I love the picture though... That's a cover of the ProCycling right there

We need the data for how long it took him to put that jacket on!
And, btw; Jai obviously won't win the Giro, because his jacket will!
