Is Quintana riding tdf as well?

 

Probably not

May be targeting the very mountainous Vuelta instead.

I take it Cuddles not participating in Tdf??

 

He's exiting gradually.

Tejay to wear the team leader jersey for TdF.

 

He did express the need to wear the Maglia Rosa after 3 weeks.

Im talking may. Will be in Sicili till 9th then travelling by car from Rome to Milan over remaining days. Will check the route of giro. 3 years ago I missed a mountain top finish on Etna by 1 day. Was so pissed off

 

Lucky b#stard.

 

Nothing as humbling as seeing the real kerels tackle the mountains. Done it once in TdF and still recovering.

They ride tiwce as fast over twice the distance with twice the ascent. Demigods.

 

Enjoy

Sorry to see my boy Betancur not competing in the Giro again this year, but he has his sights on the TDF.

 

Betancur is a exciting young rider. Love to see him give the big guns a run for their money

Agreed. But there's another Colombian is on fire at the moment, and he's going to be at the Giro (if he gets his visa issues sorted out in time): the young lad from Trek, Julian Arredondo.

 

He has already beaten Quintana twice this year, outclimbing him in 2 stages of the Tour de San Luis.

 

Keep an eye on this young man in the Giro:

Outclimbing Quintana takes serious doing.

 

At the Team Trek training camps, he's probably making Andy cry as well.
