Vuelta then.
Vuelta and Lombardia. That would be awesome.
However, I suspect he might do some races before that. Don't think they'd just throw him to Spain instantly. Unless, of course, he does San Sebastian.

Vuelta then.
He was fine in the one day races with short climbs at the start of the season, so I'd stick to those kind of races until they manage to sort things out. Not having to race multiple days in a row might also be better for his back.Sounds like he might race again, but not with serious objectives this year?
All in all they do appear a bit clueless. Maybe it's just hard to know with these kind of issues, but this sounds a bit like they are off to somewhere in the blue?
That sound so stupid I'm baffled that team got anything out of him in the first place.Maybe it's the google translation, but it sounds like Pinot is dealing with the injury alone and trying to figure it out himself.
I'm not gonna defend the way they handled his injury, but not everything they did with Pinot was bad.Man i wish we got to see what he could do outside of FDJ. This seems a total farce
If you could put the article in spoilers and give a short transaltion of the main points.No paywall for me. Are forum rules allowing me just copy and paste?
My french isn't good enough for a summary. I've sent the article to Pinot's goat via PM, so maybe they can put that together for us.
Ruthless.So, 2021 isn't going to be Pinot's year for finishing more Tours than he's abandoned.
Who knows, maybe next year will be his lucky year...
Fair enough to not like him but why today? I think most of us still don’t even know what the article that was shared Tuesday said and nothing new has come out.Can't stand the guy's capricious whining and excuse-making. Massively overrated rider. So much and such frequent bad luck that you realise it isn't luck.
Anyway, it's fine to fail. He just need to stfu up about it.
