Re: Re:
It's kind of true though isn't it? Bike handling is as or more important than climbing and TTing in cycling and in a GT. Kruijswijk, while very strong, is a poor descender. A big crash in a GT was not as much of an 'if' but a 'when'. Like Froome in 2014. Contador had a lapse in concentration in the 2014 Tour, and crashed. Contador goes to normally have those, but it happens. I don't think it's luck as much as forcing these errors. Here Kruijswijk felt he had to follow Nibali, but descended at a pace which was too high for him. In 2014 this wasn't the case, but rather cyclist errors.

Amazing how much luck this guy needs to be able to win GT's
You need the basic skill of controlling your bike to win a bike race..
There we go again with the bike skills to win a GT.
I'd be worried if I was Chaves right now.
