Dutchsmurf said:And each year he doesn't go to the Tour is a year wasted, because maybe he would have gotten lucky that year. If you as rider are thinking "when I'm going to fall this time?", you shouldn't be going to the Giro. You should find another job.
he might crash and underachieve result wise, but I'm guessing his salary might be a reason to stick to cycling
hopefully gesink sucks tomorrow and does vuelta instead
