Don't think Poels is ever leaving that team.PremierAndrew said:Red Rick said:Doubt theyll risk winning the Tour on the bet that Dawg is 100% againPantani Attacks said:Giro-Vuelta double next year? Presumably Dawg will want one final crack at the Tour so Bernal gets second choice and Carapaz, Thomas and Poels more than able to dom the **** out of the opposition so no need for Bernal to even go.
Is Poels even gonna be at ineos next year
Guess a lot depends on the route what the optimal team is.Pantani Attacks said:Still have Thomas as a backup again though...

I bet Bernal at +3300 odds to win the Tour a month ago. He's now down to +500.
Yes very good odds, when news came through of Froome being involved in a crash and likely was going to miss the Tour I got 20/1 on Bernal each-way before the UK bookies took the markets down.
Bernal would have been a very short priced favourite had Thomas’ injuries also ruled him out.
Winner winner, chicken dinner :lol:

Pinot.hrotha said:Best winner we could have had. And if he goes on to dominate (as seems perfectly possible), no one will care about any asterisks.
Arredondo said:Great rider. Will be good for him to learn under the guidance of Torres.
He should fight for the podium in a GT in 5 years.
They didn't want to mess up Thomas's second place, so it was better for them not to have bonuses on offer.Valv.Piti said:I have no clue. He looked fine.Red Rick said:Dunno if he was told to stay with Thomas.Valv.Piti said:Little bit disappointed, I thought he wanted to win the stage, but oh well.
Congrats on the amazing win.
Congrats anyway
Meh ending
You came very close.Valv.Piti said:I predict a total weirdo podium of Bernal, Manny Buchmann and Kruijswijk.fauniera said:Those were relatively easy stages. Let's wait for some real mountains. I'm convinced Bernal can win this Tour. I also think he would have won the Giro.Red Rick said:Hes still unproven as the best climber in a GT peloton.
Didnt drop Quintana in PN, wasnt better than A Yates or MAL in Catalunya.
Pinot is not a winner we could have had because he's Pinot.Red Rick said:Pinot.hrotha said:Best winner we could have had. And if he goes on to dominate (as seems perfectly possible), no one will care about any asterisks.
Pinot will win a big one, one day, probably soon. And he really doesn't deserve that: he's a class act, and he had a heck of a ride.hrotha said:Pinot is not a winner we could have had because he's Pinot.Red Rick said:Pinot.hrotha said:Best winner we could have had.

Wow I dont remember that at all.

It was easily his worst ITT since coming over from Androni. He called it a bad day to have a bad day. I very much doubt that time trial represents the future standard, as he has shown on multiple occasions he can and should do much better.Dekker_Tifosi said:Strongest climber in the race. Could dominate for many years.
Could, but 1 remark:
-His TT was simply not very good. This could spell trouble if they ever decide to finally put a proper TT in the Tour de France again instead of these 30km laughable things.
Back home celebrating:

He is the king of Colombia now.
Once he was living in a single space with his family. Now he does not even use a car but planes and helicopters to be transported. Very humble human being this one is.
