Save Soler for tommorow.So much Movistar bashing but what could have done today?
Typical 2020 climbing time this is not
Sure, and I certainly criticized them in the Tour, but it's clear here that Roglic has the most mileage this season, and that he generally prefers an easier race. And even he will have ups and downs, and having no racing on your worse days is no bad thing. If fatigue is his worst enemy, why should he and his team make the race?It's certainly possible that he was doing like Basso and Liquigas in the days of yore. I'd believe it in a heartbeat if Roglič didn't have previous.
This is the phrase for everyone in this forum. They talk about weak and strong contenders after the fact. About strategy changes after the fact. Pogacar wasn't Pogacar until he pulled a Pogacar!!!! LOL.Sure, there is never a reason until suddenly there is.
And Pogačar wasn't Pogačar either until he pulled a Pogačar.
Come on, Jumbo was playing with him.Soler wanted everything and he came out nearly empty-handed. He should've aimed for the time gaps instead of the stage win.
They are one of the only teams actually trying through out this race. This post is just as useless at the stage we just watched.Movistar 5th, 6th and 8th on GC.
I understand their love for team classification (well, maybe not) but this is taking things too far.
For what exactly?Save Soler for tommorow.
LOL, then you were bashing them for not attacking at all. The truth is with Movistar is always criticism.Save Soler for tommorow.
If you'd ask me who'd do this time on Farrapona in 2020 I'd probably have said ContadorTypical 2020 climbing time this is not
To help Enric Mas win this bike race.For what exactly?
Thanks for the negativity.They are one of the only teams actually trying through out this race. This post is just as useless at the stage we just watched.
The riders fell asleep too.I'm back... I fell asleep with 10km to go... What happened???
GC guys fell asleep too and wondering what happened.I'm back... I fell asleep with 10km to go... What happened???
No problem. What do you exactly want them to do?Thanks for the negativity.

In my opinion Soler wasted quite a bit of time failing to beat Gaudu, but it's pretty whatever.No problem. What do you exactly want them to do?
GT organisers very clearly don't understand pacing. Geographical constraints are no excuse this time considering Angliru is closer to today's start than Farrapona.
Working in unison, just once? And by that I mean the three best-placed riders.No problem. What do you exactly want them to do?
Which would have resulted in them shipping 5 to 10 seconds all together today instead of one gaining a minute and having a shot at the stage?Working in unison, just once? And by that I mean the three best-placed riders.
It frustrates me that they're doing their own race all the time.
They aren't. They're doing exactly the opposite this time...Working in unison, just once? And by that I mean the three best-placed riders.
