'Dale Posted April 29, 2014 Share Re. Trek Factory Racing: Surely, with his recent performances in the Tour de San Luis and the one day classics, the sports directors will see the light and make my boy Arredondo a protected rider for the Giro. I mean, am I really the lone one in the wilderness sticking my hand up for this guy? He's a lighty with a lot to learn in terms of race tactics and curbing his youthful enthusiasm, but heck, he's got so much talent. I'm expected this year's Giro to be his breakout race. We'll see if he's got the engine to last for 3 weeks. I'm definitely watching him with interest3 weeks will be too long for him to break out onto the GC sceneI do hope that he will take a stage win or few, especially in week 3 when the high mountain come tombeej 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tombeej Posted April 29, 2014 Share I'm sure we'll be seeing some of his typical all-or-nothing attacks in the high mountains, and will be very happy if he pulls off a win at least once. But if he has the right team support, and picks his moments with care, he may just emulate Betancur's achievements from last year's Giro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxrider Posted April 30, 2014 Share But on the bright side, I'm heading over to Northern Ireland this Friday and will be there for the start and the first days TT. And on an even brighter note, the TT goes past my Gran's house twice, so it's tea and biccies at the roadside for me then.... Is there a Hub flag I can get to wave? tombeej 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
