Impressed with his climbing performance today in Dauphiné. He's on his way to become the Basque Belgian Pozzato.
That meltdown after chasing Van der Poel in the second pass over Oude Kwaremont was a display of tactical prowess.According to Ilmaestro he's much more tactically gifted.
He is the rider to get. Is he bound to Bora or is it open season to get him?
Your dedication to the cause is, as always, impressiveAnother proof that he's a better version of van aert
Turn him into a mountain domestique?Oh not Boro
Ineos could do something with him
Turn him into a mountain domestique?
Lol no thx
The classic mistake. Too early in form during the Dauphiné. As a result, on certain days he performed as well as or even better as an all-rounder than some top riders. But that was weeks ago.... His form will drop, and the others have gotten better.What happened to this guy on stage 1 anyone know is he sick? I had him on my fantasy team![]()
I think it's a combination of two reasons. Not good enough and dropped. But then choosing to lose enough time allowing to go in a break later. Yesterday, a lot of strong riders (also Martinez) deliberally lost (tens of) minutes, after being dropped.Hh if thats the case thats really bad for my fantasy teamI was still properly coping that he wanted to loose time to get in breaks later / was a little ill. Oh well.
Yeah, agree. Not only 2nd in NCs but in complete control, easily covering every move when teammates were ahead and riding away from the other chasers in the finale. Lazkano is fine.He was second in Spain's nationals one week ago on a very hilly route. I'd say he's just taking it easy and measuring his efforts to go stage hunting.
My fantasy team hope you are rightYeah, agree. Not only 2nd in NCs but in complete control, easily covering every move when teammates were ahead and riding away from the other chasers in the finale. Lazkano is fine.
