Grant G Posted November 30, 2017 Share I saw a rider in the Cradle earlier this week. Full sky kit, TT bike, a follow ASG car.......couldn't clock who it was as I was on my last interval. Maybe?was possibly Froome - he was in the Cradle yesterday but has already flown out to Aus for a few days (apparently) Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/171197-giro-ditalia-2018-the-most-beautiful-grand-tour/page/4/#findComment-3233840 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibali Posted November 30, 2017 Share Looks as if King Louis has confirmed From what I recall, the Maincheese will be focusing on the Giro and Vuelta for the next 2 years, with the aim of getting onto the Tour podium in 2020. So top 5 in both is the goal next year.

Cav's contract will run out but until then the TDF would be a huge mistake for him..plus Giro and Vuelta much better for him to improve without all the fuss of what comes with the TDF...

Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk Exactly that. Cav's main focus is the all-time record, so they will go with a sprinters squad and focus on stage wins (exposure wise also better than a top 10 GC). And in the mean time Maincheese can improve and get the confidence up, so good plan by DD I would say. Hopefully it all works out though... But now to the Giro. Confirmed names so far?

Frosty Posted November 30, 2017 Share Froome to do the Tiger Slam?? http://www.eurosport.com/cycling/giro-d-italia/2018/chris-froome-eyeing-giro-challenge-could-he-claim-cycling-s-tiger-slam_sto6402156/story.shtmlI don’t dislike Froome, I’m just not a fan... but he’ll earn my respect for winning the “Tiger-slam” and possibly the Giro/Tour double. Would be nice to see all his rivals taking part in both.
