Maybe Trek will start building a younger team?

Impressive ride by both Simmons and Sheffield today.

They'll probably balance this by headhunting Eisel and Greipel.

LOL, although that wouldn't be a shock.

It's written in the stars Trek will fold 2 years after Movistar, so they can sign Valverde at last

What.
Thats a good day on the job if I have ever seen one, haha. Investing in the future you might say.

 

[King Boonen]

You're 6?!

6 3/4 thank you very much!

 

[Lemonbaloon]

What on earth is going on in Womens Junior race? Its like a demolition derby out there.

 

[glassmoon]

seems like the young ladies just can't stay on their bikes for 10 minutes straight

 

[DNP-Old]

Everyone in this thread is, without any doubt, a better bike handler than these girls. This is awful.

 

[GuntherL]

The junior girls don't need rain to crash, it seems.

Regarding to Sunday's race: does anyone know what would happen if it's canceled? Would Valverde keep his jersey for another year? The weather can also be bad in Switzerland, so he may still be world champion in 2021

No.

 

[DNP-Old]

No.

Yes.

 

[GuntherL]

This race should be broadcasted on Comedy Central.

 

[Lemonbaloon]

They have to make the Women junior race more hilly. Too many riders not used to ride in a big group while fighting for postions. Early splits would prevent this to some degree me thinks.

 

[wheresmybrakes]

Think they need to stop this race and restart about 200yds from the finish, getting embarrassing the amount of crashes. Can you imagine this lot in Paris Roubaix, tu tut.

 

[King Boonen]

Yes.

No. I've seen some of them race and they're excellent bike handlers. Crashes happen, especially in big races with nervous kids.

Yes. They just rode into the bushes on a straight road.

Stannard and Wellens say a lot of bad words!

 

[King Boonen]

Yes. They just rode into the bushes on a straight road.

And Wout Van Aert rode into a barrier when he was the only cyclist on the road and fell off his bike taking a corner in a dry Paris Roubaix.

This thing is the best example you could come up with?

No, it was a recent example of a WT rider who supposedly has good bike handling skills riding into something at the side of the road when there was no-one around him. You've also ignored the other example when his back wheel slid out after a bike change in PR.

I've never seen six (maybe more) crashes in 30km on a dry surface on straight roads. Ever.

 

[glassmoon]

that chille lady should be working imho, she's the only one from CH in the race it's her only chance to shine
