Thats a little harsch considering their small budgets. The obvious pick for a horrible and useless team would be Katusha. But I guess that's off topic.Valv.Piti said:I bet we even wouldn't notice. Such horrible and useless teams.hazaran said:Sky made him crash, huh? No, it's the useless teams like EF and Dimension Data. Cut them out and it's suddenly much safer.

Most of greatest riders have less.

Most great riders have had no worse injury than Bernal has had?
He was out for about three weeks after being taken down at Catalunya. What is this set of great riders, the majority of whom have never had an injury needing three weeks off?

Bolder said:Hope he recovers quickly. I can't imagine how much pain broken and knocked out teeth, a seriously split lip and nasal fractures must have been. Tough kid. As for crashing, some of it is positioning, some of it is bike handling and some bad luck. Look at Sagan -- he's routinely cited as one of the best bike handlers yet he had a solo crash at the TdF that nearly cost him the green jersey.
Well obviously, a broken leg usually doesn't really leave any traces on the outside.del1962 said:Bolder said:Hope he recovers quickly.

yeah i think id rather have a broken leg than his facial injuries
I read somewhere that he can't now ride Vuelta, was he really going to ride Vuelta?

Maybe he thought it was too easy for him. Lol.El Pistolero said:Kid got arrogant. He told media that Sky wasn't the problem during the boring Tour, but other teams were too afraid to attack.
Yeah, geez, I wonder why they didn't attack just to get chased down by 6 men of Sky.
Probably isn't very bright either.

When Luke Rowe can lead the peloton over HC climbs of course it’s the other teams faults for not attacking...it played right into sky hands.... and don’t say Rowe was setting a hard paceEl Pistolero said:Kid got arrogant.
