Could definitely see Poels doing a Pinot and throwing a massive tantrum as soon as things start going wrong for him

Froome did very well in the TTs against Dumoulin considering Froome had Ventoux and Finhaut-Emosson before the two TTs while Dumoulin had rest days. It would have been very close between Froome and Dumoulin, and with the distance, I don't think you could count Tony Martin out either. But we've been robbed of that main battle now

Dumoulin has a broken radius, but it's a good fracture so there is still hope he can recover in time. He will only go to Rio if he has a chance to win though and he can't train right now. Otherwise he won't go.

Re:
He can continue training, and it sure as hell won't affect his legs. Slight chance it will affect his TT position, and hardly ideal preparation for his bid at olympic gold, but it's not the end of the world for Major Tom

Re: Re:
Hard to imagine him being able to get of the saddle to climb - but he seemed to ride almost of all the mountain TT seated, so perhaps not a problem?
It's sad to see someone pay such a price for respecting the race. Was surely on the cards to abandon after winning the TT.....

Dumoulin has been spotted training in his home province Limburg on the cobbles of the Kerkstraat in Eijsden...
Also rumored to ride a criterium in 2 days time as training.

Re:
That's just reckless. Criteriums are risky and useless for training for ITTs.Dekker_Tifosi said:

Re: Re:
Fixed or not, criteriums are always especially dangerous because of the sheer number of corners.BigMac said:
I am a Froome fan, but I hope Tom can win the TT, and save us all from dozens of pages of rants
Re: Re:
What do you mean, fixed? I'm sure Dumoulin will genuinely outsprint Kittel and Greipel with his sheer ability and natural skill! (At least, if the race is in Holland.)
