Re: Re:
My guess is the sponsors will be happy enough to continue this in 2018 if Pinot podiums this Giro - Can you imagine the publicity for French sponsors if Bardet and Pinot go head to head at the 2018 Giro - Come 2019, Pinot will need to change teams to continue riding the Giro - Anyway he'll get a WT contract.
Ramon Koran said:Another year aiming for the giro and riding the tour for stage wins would be best for him I suspect, however I doubt the sponsors being French would allow it unfortunately. What's more with bardet aiming for the giro next year, all the pressure would be on pinot and that's definitely not a great thing for him.yaco said:I suspect that Pinot will be back at the Giro if 2018 if he finishes top 4. Though guess he'll be back to the TDF as his main goal in 2019.
