No, he was dropped like a stone, just after he unwisely put in an effort he could not maintain or recover sufficiently from, but nobody forced him to do that. On the other hand, I agree the data will be good to work from.

Ganna was in the same situation, but paced his effort better and, at his weight, surely is in fine form. It will be interesting to see how he goes in the classics and Giro (for the TTs).
Ganna is in fine form at the moment. I assume he wants to grab gold medals at the EC track in two weeks and be in top form at the classics (PR in particular).
Not as good as he started last season in Valenciana and Algarve.
Dont think you can draw any conclusions.
He is peaking for L-B-L and Giro. He should be starting like this and build slowly during the spring. Bit disappointing that he is not fighting for the win in races all year round though.

Maybe he needs to burn off a few of those ice creams he ate during the offseason, lol
He looked like this last year, very uneven in early stage races. I would draw zero conclusions about his abilities from this.
If altitudine is an issue for him, hopefully not as bad as for Valverde in his eflorensence.
Un viaggio curioso nei pensieri di Ganna. Le vacanze. La ripresa. La fatica. La strada. La pista
Un bell'incontro con Ganna durante la Vuelta a San Juan. Le vacanze. La ripresa. La fatica. L'ambizione. La strada. La pista. La stagione che lo attende

Ganna's form seems to be a little bit of an accident rather than planning to be in form for EC's on the track. He took an extra long off-season and is roughly a week of training (32 hours) behind this point last season. Maybe mental freshness has helped.
Come on people, he just wanted to do a little high intensity interval for training purposes. Nothing to worry about...yet.
Nice article, nice photos. It's funny how pros after 3 weeks on vacation can't look at themselves in the mirror, because "too fat." It's a sickness.Un viaggio curioso nei pensieri di Ganna. Le vacanze. La ripresa. La fatica. La strada. La pista

Yeah I thought that was kinda a sad statement to hear from Ganna. Eating/body image disorders sadly pretty common in the pro peloton.
"better to make the mistake now than in a bigger race" is just stupid for so many reasons.
I look forward to seeing the rainbow kit at the front of races this year.

Right, and Bernal is coming back from Hades, is peaking for the Tour, so how should he be starting?
...of course, all Remco had to do was wait it out and not attack with 9.7 kilometers to go. If he waits it out and goes to the last kilometers with the leaders (or leader) then Bernal, Ganna, Higuita and all the rest would have ended up behind Remco. Superman would take the sprint anyway and Remco sits in first in overall. But that's life. Nothing to worry about...January is coming back for everybody.
I'm not convinced on those grades that, had he waited it out, having lost 1"09' to MAL in the end, he would have stayed with Superman. The wasted effort would have cost him 30-40 secs. not more, in which case he's either with Ganna or Bernal.
Which would also be fine for a January, knowing where Lopez is at and the NC of Colombia coming up.
This isn't cycling in the Hinault era. And what has a failed state got to do with anything, let alone it's true causes?

I like that he is not in best shape atm.
He shouldn’t have to prove himself every race anymore.
Nibali was way off at the Dauphine in 2014 and look what happened.

You said that without his attack at 10km before the finish he would have arrived with Bernal or ganna. What’s wrong with that in a January on a climb of 4% above 2500m?

Remco is a great rider. It is a best with a hugh potential, but he has to control his nervous to be a real champion.
He did the same with me a week ago when I keep his wheel during an aceleration. "Please man, stop", he told me... I know it not nice to have someone to your wheel to concentrate...for me was funny, but not good for him show that behaviour.
I dont have video as this man has, sorry.
Video from the same guy, but on Pogacar's wheel instead
