Cav' Posted April 11, 2017 Share Johnny D's hands taped up before PR Not that Tommeke's comment has anything to do with it, but Degenkolb really is going nowhere slow for some reason. Starting to doubt if he'll peak sometime this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted April 12, 2017 Share "It's a very difficult moment for me. In the past days I didn't train, hoping the pain will go away, but this didn't happen... I am sad to miss the Ardennes Classics, which I'm very fond of, but there really is nothing I can do about it. Despite this, I remain upbeat and hope to return as soon as possible to action. At the same time, I want to wish all the best to my teammates who will ride the Ardennes over the next weeks."

'Dale Posted April 12, 2017 Share Dries De Bondt (Vérandas Willems-Crelan) is the lone chaser but he's 1:20 down on the break now. He faces a tough task in no-man's land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
