Gen Posted May 24, 2017 Share Bingo. They must fire his nutrition specialist. You have to eat some proper food balanced with the gels. Too many gels, and the arse starts leaking.It's also not the first time this has happened. .it happened at the TDF too.

dev null Posted May 24, 2017 Share Today definitely a day for the breakaway. Bet you there are going to be 2 Cannondale riders and 2 Dimension Data Riders in the break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There you have it folks, hope you have the decency to drop them an email with the advice. Sure they'll appreciate it. Maybe suggest some biltong, nuts and a sandwich?

HeadDown Posted May 24, 2017 Share 10 different teams represented in the GC top 10. That's a little unusual, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure Savage Posted May 24, 2017 Share There you have it folks, hope you have the decency to drop them an email with the advice. Sure they'll appreciate it. Maybe suggest some biltong, nuts and a sandwich? To be fair, he did admit he over did the gels yesterday. You dont need to be a nutritionist with a sports science degree to make a comment on that. And talking from experiencing a lot of porta loo's at the DC one year, Roctanes are pretty lethal in high doses! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeffer Posted May 24, 2017 Share So Ryan Gibbons did not start yesterday. Makes sense. The rest of the tour does not suit the sprinters. And he is a youngster. Now i am wondering..... will he be going to TdF? Given his amazing sprinting performances in the Giro he must have enormous potential. And given Cavendish is out.... might he be the No 1 sprinter in DDD? or is it Edvald B-Hagen ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shell Belle Posted May 24, 2017 Share Is this confirmed?Not officially confirmed, but Cav has only just started training again. Whether he will be fit enough in time for TdF is up in the air at this point. He has no planned races as far as I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Dale Posted May 24, 2017 Share Did Tom actually have stomach problems or did he just need to go? If he didn't have issues like a bug or something and it was just his day for an extra movement then he shouldn't be feeling pap as you do after a bout of gastro.27 gels will rock the tuffest tums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Wheel Base Posted May 24, 2017 Share Hope Gibbo gets to France +1 on that. Imagine a win on the first stage............. He clearly has the speed to be right up there with the big boys. Give him a decent lead out train and I am sure he won't disappoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
