J Wakefield Posted September 18, 2017 Posted September 18, 2017 I am dreaming bigger than DDD... more like Quickstep dreaming[emoji23][emoji23] EDIT I must be honest, I'll be disappointed if it were any of these Sky - they'll use him up and spit him outAstana - same story plus the dodge bitUAE - he may as well ride on his ownBAHRAIN - that Prince is dodge as hell when it comes to human rights violations...doesn't sit lekker with me. Cannondale may be lekker they are also good at developing talent..unfortunately I am not so sure how secure his future will be with them..taking it year by year puts a lot of stress on the riders IMO.

Gen Posted September 18, 2017 Author Posted September 18, 2017 Sure, coming to an unofficial agreement is perhaps less distasteful than having Spain tell me I'm pulling for them. But I'm a Saffa. I have cycling superpower mentality. ...On second thought, would rather pull for Spain than for Impey [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] Sagan has had unofficial help from his team mates from smaller countries..especially in the early parts of the race.

At the end of the day any WT team has is positives and negatives - even the ones we personally like and follow/support. However their is a difference in those teams, some are a lot better than others overall in terms of management, riders, support and respect within the Peloton when you riding in that teams kit and needing a wheel. I will say he has had a few very good offers / interest from a small handful PCT and PT teams and the team has chosen is F-ing RAD!
Gen Posted September 18, 2017 Author Posted September 18, 2017 He has, It's not DDDHa ha ha.. but there are lots of teams that he isn't going to.. scratching one off the list isn't helping man[emoji39] If he can confirm or deny that it is a team that also has pro conti team ..or is mmm going to be taking another over another development team under their name that would be great[emoji6] Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

Shebeen Posted September 18, 2017 Posted September 18, 2017 So here's my question, say hypothetically speaking, you are a Saffa but ride for Movistar. Come to worlds, the Spanish team filled with Movistar riders come to you and say, you working for Spain today. Do you ditch your country for UCI points for the team that pays your salary? Or does Worlds not count for UCI points? Cycling is a team sport, but lines can be blurred. Alliances can be temporary and switch during even just a stage. Porte and Froome are good mates, but now on opposing teams. They could easily find the situation were they need to work with each other or against each other - I would think the first priority is your own race, but naturally you're going to help a friend/countrymen if no harm to yourself. it's part of what makes cycling exciting to follow.
Shebeen Posted September 18, 2017 Posted September 18, 2017 I think the main reason they won was exactly because all 6 riders held it together for so long. Each was fresher, hence they rode faster. Looking at the other teams (Trek, Sky, Quickstep) who dropped one then two guys earlier, they just didnt have the beans to keep up the same pace.The Sunweb strategy was better and their team seem to ride together better.Made me think of the old days in the TDF when Armstrong held back the team to pick up the two fallen riders, and then went on to win the TTT. (despite the drugs of course)well I think they were clearly the strongest on the day. Came to the final 500m and it looked like loads was still in the tank once the final four split off. I couldn't see it but am guessing that the two dropped riders did big turns in the final kilometers which set up the final sprint. The optimal strategy is obviously to finish to with 4 guys only

Sent from my SM-N9005 using TapatalkI hope this sore throat he has doesn't affect his performance. Don't want some doper like GVA to win because the champ isn't 100%Obviously Sagz is my man but I would be ok with a Kwaito, EBH(home ground advantage?), Alaphalipe win. I think it will be a classics rider who takes it.

Winning it a third time will be very hard.. he'll have to think out of the box because they won't give him an inch. Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
