Sivakov is the first rider ever to win Ronde de l'Isard and the Baby Giro in one year. He's on course to add the Giro Valle d'Aosta on top - that's an immense feat. No other U23 racer even comes close to his consistency in big U23 stage races this year.
Hard to compare with Bernal, who rode a totally different schedule mainly within pro pelotons.

Re:
I know that, but Bernal went toe to toe with some of the world's best in Tirreno, which basically overrules anything Sivakov has done.Bye Bye Bicycle said:
Re: Re:
Cras back to Lotto would be weird, he has been promoting BMC at his/my local bike store and I don't think he wants to share leadership (or even work for) with Lambrecht and Vanhoucke.the asian said:
Re: Re:
Yes, it's true, Bernal is in a pro team and supposedly is the best u23 climber, but Sivakov is a damn consistent rider. By other way, I didn't known that there's no TT in this year Avenir, and yes, that benefies Bernal.

Re: Re:
The rumor does exist though.
Asked about that Sky rumor Sivakov said that he has a lot of options and hasn't signed anywhere yet.
Sivakov is impressive, but if Bernal doesn't lose time in the first 6 flat stages (yes, really, there are 6 flat stages
), Bernal is the clear favorite.

Re: Re:
Sivakov is rumoured to have signed with Sky. Being in someones devo team doesn't mean all that much, especially in BMC's case who can only offer a one year contract.Cordi333 said:
Re: Re:
BMC can offer a two-year contract, but with only the financial part being secure.DNP-Old said:
Regarding Adrien Costa - it might have nothing to do either with falling out with the team or with medical issues. The guy is young, at the age when often people decide on their future and are able and willing to do major changes in their life. Cycling is not only thing out there for human being to do; being talented or not.
Suprising is people are writing that it's really strange, that it's odd team doesn't communicate it for three months; team could have absolutely no clue about his decision until recently. How do we know Axeon kept their mouth shut for three months? We don't.
Riding his bike doesn't exclude loss of motivation, or apetite for racing; that's two different things.

I'm not so sure about that Axeon have known about his decision for few months. Probably they gave him some time to think about his future and after that Costa told them that he wants a longer break.

Re: Re:
Those things are common in Colombia, like Jhoan instead of Johan, Jhon instead of John, Wbeimar instead of Weimar. It's meant to be Wilby, but on official files and such it's Wldy.RedheadDane said:
Re: Re:
So, his parents just went W-l-d-y, says "Wilby"? Are letters pronounced wildly differently in Spanish compared to English?

Re: Re:
Poor guy, then. Having to explain to everyone how his name is pronounced. Not possible to have it corrected?
Hmm... on PCS he's Wildy, which... actually doesn't sound so strange.
(Can't wait to hear commentators struggle with it, though.)

Re: Re:
It's corrected, it'll say Wildy. Another example is Chaves. http://www.letour.fr/le-tour/2017/us/riders/orica-scott/chaves-johan-esteban.html. As you can see it says Johan Esteban, but his actual name is Jhoan Esteban.RedheadDane said:
Wildy (or even Wildly, which I was thinking about) actually wouldn't surprise me at all. It was the lack of vowels that made me a bit surprised.
BMC kills its development team at the end of the year. One of the best, if not THE best, U23 teams.
Re:
Because managers bring their talents to other teams. My guess is this has everything to do with Sivakov.Bye Bye Bicycle said:
Re: Re:
Definitely has to do with Sivakov.
Horrible news, time to do something UCI...

I think that's a mistake. In Spain we have an idiom that suits the situation perfectly: "to kill flies with a cannon".
Instead of close down the development team, why not introduce in the promises contracts some preference clause for the BMC pro team?
