GrumpyOldGuy Posted January 22, 2016 Author Posted January 22, 2016 had to borrow an orica ladies skin suit as the men's cut didn't fit him!Ha, Ha, yah, tiny little fella, but with that size advantage he may be able to hold on when the tours go over the intermediate mountains, if so he will be a real thorn in the side of some of the opportunists who are neither sprinters or climbers and see this as a good chance to grab a stage.
GrumpyOldGuy Posted January 22, 2016 Author Posted January 22, 2016 Ewan won a stage at the Vuelta last year so he is not really unknownIndeed, I had forgotten about that.

BMC must be kicking themselves. How did Gerro get away with that? Dennis and Porte in contention and they dont get the victory.
'Dale Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Gerrans was pretty much untenable heyLooked in mega form And Ewan dominated the fast men Strong OGE performance The rest of the peloton is still waking up

I think BMC should have picked a clear leader. More trouble ahead for them with TJ & Porte if they continue like this.
pe3nguin Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Michael Woods' story is an amazing one. Can't wait to see more of him this year.
GrumpyOldGuy Posted January 25, 2016 Author Posted January 25, 2016 And 2nd again. BMC must be kicking themselves. How did Gerro get away with that? Dennis and Porte in contention and they dont get the victory. Yeah, I was a bit disappointed in BMC truth be told. Porte played the role of Shepard on Corkscrew hill for Dennis, this allowed Gerro to stay in contact when Porte could have taken time, then Dennis went sailing out the back on Wallunga hill and Porte was unable to make up enough time to beat Gerro. To me it seemed they didnt have a clear leader in mind and so their strategy suffered, I am not a Porte fan but he was in great shape and I think could easily have taken enough time on Gerro over both hills to win.
GrumpyOldGuy Posted January 25, 2016 Author Posted January 25, 2016 Michael Woods' story is an amazing one. Can't wait to see more of him this year.I wonder if he will ride any of the grand tours this year.?
pe3nguin Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 I wonder if he will ride any of the grand tours this year.?You would imagine so. His body is ready, willing and able. Skinny f*****.
GrumpyOldGuy Posted January 25, 2016 Author Posted January 25, 2016 You would imagine so. His body is ready, willing and able. Skinny f*****.Ha, Ha, Yeah, maybe the Vuelta? I think the Giro may be a bit tough as a first grand tour and the TDF always has the Prima Donna's fighting for a spot, but the Vuelta may be perfect, dunno, either way I think he will be making his presence felt for sure.
'Dale Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Woods was unbelievable. I think BMC should have picked a clear leader. More trouble ahead for them with TJ & Porte if they continue like this. BMC expresses that there's no issue between the two GC leadersI've read that there were some 'delays' with TVG signing his contractI think that things are not too rosy there Also read, in a Tejay blog, thus his own words, that he had a lot of reflecting to do after his collapse deep into week 3 of TdF.Apparently, he wasn't feeling well for a while and did not disclose it to the team. So, let's see. Sky's set-up is much clearerThe Dawg is the obvious leaderAnd Gee is the back-up leader
