Re: Re:
Pretty much, yeah if Roche was stronger they would've won, but Roche wasn't expected to do better, if they wanted that they would've brought another TT specialist. By staying with the others longer than expected he put Froome in a great position, even if they didn't win the TTT.
staubsauger said:Roche literally saved them not cost them in that case!TheGreenMonkey said:Poels failed if he was meant to be the fifth rider not Roche. Roche did very well to hang on for as long as he did if they gave him extra work earlier because they expected him to drop, I certainly did not expect him to be in the final five looking at the nine riders
