That'd be crazy... I wonder if the contract has been inked already or there is a room for ISN to weasel out of it, or at least re-negotiate the money...Froome prediction proved to be right, next chapter: failed physical at ISA

But this year's ITT isn't so bad... The finish climb is too short to work in his benefit, but he might not lose as much as if it was a straight up flat ITT.He'll lose time in TT but he can Hindley himself in the top-3 for sure
Everybody is expecting Roglic to run out of steam... He is having awfully long season to be at the top of his form... That's why most are hyping up Carapaz to be main contender... With Mas I expect him just to do his thing, follow the wheels and not crack over the course of next 17 days... Given his climbing ability and this year's Vuelta parcours, he can get a podium spot with that... He just isn't as "exciting" to watch as CarapazNot disputing that. But to say he showed more potential to contend with Roglic here because he was allowed in breaks (albeit he was very impressive in them) while Mas was grinding his way into form and the Top 5 is a bit unfair.
With Van Aert case in the past i think everything is possible...That'd be crazy... I wonder if the contract has been inked already or there is a room for ISN to weasel out of it, or at least re-negotiate the money...
Don’t forget that Dan Martin is in good enough shape to stay with the gc group, so will be throwing in mental attacks throughout the race that others in the gc group will have to respond to.The first stage has made a lot clear already. There are three favourites: Roglic, Carapaz and Mas. They're also the leaders of the three strongest teams: Jumbo, Ineos and Movistar. A nice surprise is the presence of Esteban Chaves in that first group. The reborn Colombian can provide some fireworks in the mountain stages.
Let's hope he's good enough to do that. I'd always liked his aggressive style, but I fear he doesn't have the legs for it anymore.Don’t forget that Dan Martin is in good enough shape to stay with the gc group, so will be throwing in mental attacks throughout the race that others in the gc group will have to respond to.
If Dan Martin finishes in the top5 here, will Froome be his domestique next year?Don’t forget that Dan Martin is in good enough shape to stay with the gc group, so will be throwing in mental attacks throughout the race that others in the gc group will have to respond to.
Froome is not capable to be even domestic nowadays, he'll spend his time in ISA leading the team in 1cat races for top50 finishes.If Dan Martin finishes in the top5 here, will Froome be his domestique next year?![]()
Same thing he always does. 500m attackI wonder too what Roglic does when he feels GOOD:

Counting backwards.Froome is not capable to be even domestic nowadays, he'll spend his time in ISA leading the team in 1cat races for top50 finishes.
Nah, he'll join Madrazo in the breakawaysFroome might hand out gold plated bottles at ISA
To make sure he carries less weight than Martin? Smart move.Froome might hand out gold plated bottles at ISA
That is a very expensive bottle carrier!!!Froome might hand out gold plated bottles at ISA
Yeah, every year sprinters who havent been there before discover the meaning of Vuelta Flat and they dont like it. That said I’m expecting more Vuelta Flat stages to end in sprints than usual because Bora and DQS have both brought quality sprint teams.Could be, but its the typical up and down terrain. Very hard. A terrain for a breakway.
He went from being the best GC rider of the last 8 years to being the best bottle carrier, so he must be paid accordingly.That is a very expensive bottle carrier!!!
Yes.Did Dani Martinez crash?
Do you remember David Duffield on Eurosport? I think Kirkby bases some of his act on him.lol a Kelly shutting down every moronic take from Kirby, usually dont listen to the English commentary, but its on eurosport player, how can anyone stand Kirby, he just talks nonsense all day
I kind of expected it, tbh. His progression in the Tour was quite dramatic, and he even looked like the strongest rider in the break the day when they had to ascend Col de laMadeleine and Col de la Loze, only to be let down by his poor descending.Woah, Dan Martin in 3rd place. Something I did not expect to see after TDF.
