Do Ayuso and CRod have the same agent? if they have, he could initiate a possible trade : CRod to UAE and Juan to Ineos.

I don't know, but I like the idea.

Has Covi had problems with illness and injuries last 2 year?
It's kind of weird how bad his last 2 years has been, after winning on Passo Fedaia he has been nowhere.

Yes he's always ill but at this point I'm not entirely sure that's the main problem.

I can see you're italien, what's the talk in italy about him?

There's really no talk about him.
At least with Piccolo you had the roller coaster experience and some clinic related rumors.

Covi is just a guy who had a very promising couple of years after turning pro and then completely disappeared. I know he's well liked inside the team and by many of his teammates. And I know he was supposed to ride a Hirschi-like calendar this year to help him find his mojo, but it's not working out.

He had mononucleosis last year and has suffered from Achilles / knee issues until this May, don't know whether we should expect some better results going forward.

If UAE wins La Vuelta, they will have won all WT races in Spain this year.

UAE won so much this year. Stages in GT, one day races etc. How good is their season up untill now historically? They have won so many stages, one day races its almost the norm, points wice how good are their season up untill now?

Looking at one metric: They have the third highest CQ team score ever already, and the season isn't even close to being finished. They need 200 or so more points to have the second highest CQ score ever, overtaking Visma from last year. And they're missing only 1800 points to beat their own CQ score record from last year.

Its remarkable.

Maybe I am wrong but HTC set the record of 86 wins in a season. Can UAE break this record?

 

[Netserk]

I think Mapei had 87 victories in 1997.

 

[velaso montador]

Imagine UAE have Jay Vine, McNulty and Bjerg who all did not go on the Tour team (a little bit to do with OL) still the team was by far best team in world and they have these 3 monsters in the pocket who all are a relative young age too.

UAE is soo stacked.

22 behind Mapei.

Still many wins to go! Will be tight.. But remember there is not a single win by a sprinter jet. Madness!

There goes UAE’s chance of winning all three GTs with Adam and now Almeida losing a lot of time.

And Ayuso gonna laugh.
Considering this weird vuelta though they might go in the break and no one won't chase.

I hope Ayuso watched the Uijtdebroeks saga closely and stays put at UAE. Matxin will take care of him, he's his protegé

What does Cian have to do with it?

What does Cian have to do with it?

wanting away from a team but with a valid contract, to reach greener grass on the other side, but unknown if it works or not. also, young athletes, very promising, talented riders, with more pressure to perform in their "new" team.

Yes. For me it's more like; "learn from Cian case; don't try to develop too fast or you might go backwards"

I think it's quite awful how young they take them to turn them into monsters and throw them away if they don't deliver.

Winning tdl for upcoming futures, apart from salary, will mean less and less I believe.

Not seen any explanation on social media. Did he park it after getting dropped so early or did he lose se much time due to heat stroke or sickness issues.
