Great win by Gaviria today, shame about the three team members that had to leave the race because of the virus scare.

I know I'm just a judgemental voyeur, but I'd really like to know who it was they had contact to and whether they broke the rules or were not careful or whether it was entirely not their fault...

They did not break any rules and it was not their fault. They were in contact with someone who after negative tests, returned a positive. No on knew at the time the person was positive.

What is reassuring is that immediately it was made known and action was taken correctly by the riders and the team.

At anytime anyone including you and me can be around someone who tested positive. Is that your fault? No.

I did not mean to place blame on them, I was really just curious. After all Sunweb sent somebody home because he went shopping on his own.

Good for them. Too bad Major League Baseball can’t be as smart about about handling virus cases. Their lack of a sufficient plan is a disaster, even if they do manage to keep playing☹

MLB needs to have like this first baseman I saw who gave all the runners hand sanitizer.

They seem to have signed Trentin

They have signed Rafal Majka for next year.

If they have as big a budget as has been suggested, they might bring in more stars. What they really need is to bring in better support for whoever they have leading. You can’t send a sprinter and a GC man to the Tour and have the sprinter surf wheels and the GC man take a stage after being invited to follow his old team’s wheels. At least one of them has to get serious support.

Some retrospectively great posts on page 1 of this thread, but this one in particular is a doozy.

It does look like the improved management made a massive difference to the squad.

Also a switch to disc brakes this year for Colnago. Last year we saw GT winners Colnago, Bianchi and Pinarelli all still on rim brakes. This year only Pinarello seems to stay on rim brakes.
