Gen Posted April 3, 2018 Share A break that features either of Oss or Burghart is most likely not to be given much rope. And there in lies Bora's problem. And I haven't seen that Bodnar's been racing either. Basically having a rider in the break is a good idea but I don't know if they have a diesel with a big enough engine for that to work. Sent from my SM-J200H using TapatalkBodnar raced Flanders, he did not finish..on a course like Flanders he did the job earlier in the race..and boy they did do a lot early on..think Juraj was in the front what seemed like forever. That is perhaps the problem..they don't have the right kind if riders and enough for Flanders... ...Bodnar (and I am sure Kolar will be in the PR squad) will be used differently on Sunday..this is why I think they will fare better at PR.

Patchelicious Posted April 3, 2018 Share Moaning won't help..no they made tactical errors on Sunday..and as good as what Bora were at Ghent, that is how wrong they got it on Sunday.. not the only team to get it wrong. No, but they are the only team with a $10m rider who gets marked by everybody and moans about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G950F using TapatalkI guess it just shows the differences between the races and how teams plan for it. That said perhaps Bora should have done a bit more thinking ito their resources and how to use them. Because one rider, no matter how brilliant or maverick, can win races on his own all the time especially against a team as good as QS.

Apparently he is really hard on equipment..from his early mtb days [emoji23][emoji23] that's why I say Sagan-proof tyres.[emoji23] Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk Edited April 3, 2018 by Gen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cav' Posted April 3, 2018 Share I like Sagan but part of me wonders if Sagan has the maturity to lose to someone from his own team. (Ala QS) Gen and Mntboy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gen Posted April 3, 2018 Share I like Sagan but part of me wonders if Sagan has the maturity to lose to someone from his own team. (Ala QS)Would be cool to see the rainbow jersey put in a killer effort for a teammate to win..that's what they need..that extra card to play. That would throw the rest a curve ball...they they can do it on Sunday..make Oss the leader and let Sagan go smash it at the front or up the road like Oss did for GVA last year.[emoji16] Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk Edited April 3, 2018 by Gen Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gen Posted April 3, 2018 Share No, but they are the only team with a $10m rider who gets marked by everybody and moans about it.For sure..less moaning and more pedalling...he does need to figure it out..if he is able to.
