J Wakefield Posted July 25, 2019 Share At least they would have gotten some TV time with Cav. What about the remaining 15 days of the tour? Vetplant, Underachiever, splat and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirt Tracker Posted July 25, 2019 Share What about the remaining 15 days of the tour? Well they still have a ton of coverage even with him not there as I'm not sure there has been a stage covered by each fo the main TV sites and the bigger podcasts that hasn't mentioned him at some point.

But that's what Im saying, the team is getting coverage (good or bad) with or without him there. Dirt Tracker and Pure Savage 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchelicious Posted July 25, 2019 Share But that's what Im saying, the team is getting coverage (good or bad) with or without him there.They probably got more media coverage by leaving him at home.

Yo-Yo Posted July 25, 2019 Share They probably got more media coverage by leaving him at home. and imagine if he wins a stage at what ever half ass'd race he's at now AND the tour is going on. coverage, coverage, coverage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted July 25, 2019 Share He will still out perform Louis Meintjies well into his seventies......So that’s up the end of next year then? Then Quintana is, what, 71? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yo-Yo Posted July 25, 2019 Share I did say ‘imagine’ but holy cow I didn’t know Kristen Sprag’ was still a part of team DD. Apparently he was in the break today and reports he was a team DD rider. I thought he’d left to Israel CA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yo-Yo Posted July 25, 2019 Share Oh I see it was a mistake by the website KS is riding for ICA not TDD. Cav’ also was a DNF on the first stage. Seems the team decision on le tour was right. gtr1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred van Vlaanderen Posted July 25, 2019 Share They probably got more media coverage by leaving him at home.The two most read articles on Cyclingnews.com regarding the TdF were Sagan’s apparent frustration after placing second and Cav not being there. UK based website, but still large reader base. Patchelicious 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ispeed_V Posted July 26, 2019 Share Cavendish still no where in Adriatica Race: To quote him when he was left out of the TDF sqaud:''The Manx missile added that he’s been following a specific training plan, designed to see him peak in July – and now feels he is in the “perfect place” to perform in France" Adriatica Criterium - Cavendish = DNFAdriatica Stage 1 - Cavendish 105th (9 mins back) Hate to see what is going to happen today when the route hits the bumps Gen and Vetplant 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lechatnoir Posted July 26, 2019 Share i see this thread a lot during big races and always wonder how TDD will survive into the next season.. I think the only way is for other teams to fold and DD/NTT to have the appetite to keep ponying up the cash to fund a team despite not posting results. While the cash is there, TDD will continue riding Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
