The Rohan Dennis thread

[MatParker117]

Will debut in Australia, he and Kwaitkowski will likely share leadership in the TDU.

Heard it this morning, quite a surprise for sure.

Really? It's been rumoured for weeks.

 

[triglavsky]

Haven't been paying attention lately due to winter and its skiing sports season now so that's probably why.

He better hope that there is an early ITT in a GT or he won't be going full gas - It isa good move for one year because he will have the best equipment and science and INEOS support riders targeting the Olympics - Reckon his GT will be the Vuelta.

Anyone know how long the contract's for? A good move for the Olympics, but a bad move for GT leadership!

 

[Yingge]

About time he got it sorted - and 2 years even. I was beginning to wonder if he would find a contract.

He has already posted a Pinarello TT bike pic on his twitter, seems to be happy.

Two year deal

 

[Bolder]

Bad behaviour is once again rewarded. But maybe he's smarter than all of us and just wanted to get out of his B-M contract as soon as he could...and what better way than by throwing a tantrum in the middle of the biggest race of the year...

Anyway, good signing for Indeos, can never have too many strong riders. He'll be a thread...errr...threat in any ITT he enters and depending on his training could do some serious damage in multiday stage races.

I can only assume his employer options were reduced by the Tour abandon. If he’d won that TT stage, he’d probably still be going to Ineos, but for more money.

 

[The Hegelian]

It kind of works aesthetically. i.e. they're both rather difficult to like, so there is a strange kind of harmony.

a bit of a d!ck move:

nice to know. read a few snarky tweets aroudn when he signed for Ineos (there you go he´ll win a GT! etc)
no. he sticks to what he does best. TT
he almost kept Bernal´s wheel in TdSuisse climbs. he lost weight at Bahrain, has eating problems while at Bahrain.
now he´s fine, and Ineos will take care of him

Ineos dont have a great track reord at letting riders be themselves. Could still end up a mountain goat down the line

after his problems with Bahrain last year, and probably the fact he sat down with Ineos talking about his role and oppurtunities before signing and the fact the he DOES NOT aim to lose weight as he did before but focus on what he does best, TT, he won´t become a mountain goat

 

[oldcrank]

If I start eating 100 to 300 grams of chocolate every day like Rohan Dennis will my TT improve?

I regularly eat chocolate at breakfast and the only thing improving through the years is my belly prominence.

Wow rider says all the right things when signing for a new team. Ill take history over what a rider says to the media and assume he will become another Kwiat at this team

I look forward to his monument win.

Dennis lost the Australian TT championship for a 2nd year in a row to Durbridge. So kind of him to allow Durbridge to ride his TTs in a special jersey as well.

 

[Yingge]

If Rohan had won, the only time he would be seen in the Jersey would have been on the podium. At least someone wears it in TT's this year.

 

[Velolover2]

Is Dennis still "too light"for TT'ing after his struggle with the weight?

He could still do well in the week-long races with Ineos by his side. I could see him podium Down Under and even Tirreno-Adriatico which has a fairly easy MTF.
