J Wakefield Posted October 18, 2017 Posted October 18, 2017 John, was this a drunk message? I think I managed to work out what you were trying to say though. Hahaha, now that I read it, it does seem like I had hit the bottle. But basically go stay in Arreua and you can watch lank of the Tour Pyrenees stages. Stay at "Balcons de la Nest" whilst you at it.
J Wakefield Posted October 18, 2017 Posted October 18, 2017 so does TomD go for this one? TTT good.ITT not really his type, but he'll handle it.cobbles probably not an issue3 uphill finishes - less than normal. but does he have the firepower in Sunweb to take on Sky? Yes he does and the route suites him well in relative terms. Giant are strong, underrated but strong, they will be better come Tour time. I really Believe TD will be able to win this and is a major threat to Chris. With Barguil and Kelderman he has some very good support, will it be enough though? Barguil has gone to a PC team and is allowed freedom, he wasn't allowed it at Giant with TD as earned leader. He also doesn't play well with others. Didn't he leave them for some small french outfit? Correct. So based on the route, who does it suit/not suit? (I haven't seen the preview yet...) Backing TD all the way on this route and Tour.

Giro would love froome to come ride in '18 and he would hold all grand tour titles concurrently. They could dangle the carrot of a route tailor made for him. That would be a serious upset to the status quo.
Jase619 Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 my conspiracy theory. Giro would love froome to come ride in '18 and he would hold all grand tour titles concurrently. They could dangle the carrot of a route tailor made for him. That would be a serious upset to the status quo. My question is though, would he risk it with the chance of a 5th Tour de France hanging in the air? My speculation is he may do what he did this year, Tour and Vuelta double. . . Then attempt it the year after. . . Sky's priority is the Tour as well, so they may weigh in on that as well.

Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk Yup, only when he gives up on winning Le Tour will he do the Giro, but I am sure he will try at some point, hope its not too late.
