Popit Posted May 31, 2019 Share Much better showing at the Giro .Great for EBH ....Is he the only DD rider that has won at WT level this year ?? Pure Savage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vetplant Posted May 31, 2019 Share Should really have seen this coming when Daryl Impey demolished the entire DD team at SA's this year.... Everyone focused on Impey but the real question should have been about why a WT team couldn't beat a lone wolf....

Frosty Posted May 31, 2019 Share Sometimes I wonder if they riding on the BMC’s or the buffalo bikes [emoji848]On the GCN YT channel they ask the pros if they know the weight only their bikes... every DDD rider shown was more than 7Kg.

Dirt Tracker Posted May 31, 2019 Share On the GCN YT channel they ask the pros if they know the weight only their bikes... every DDD rider shown was more than 7Kg. I heard they snapped a fair few due to 'mechanical' issues when prepping large ranges for the 'rolo stage at the giro. Pure Savage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsw Posted May 31, 2019 Share The BMC bikes did not stop Rohan Dennis from winning the world time trial championships last year, neither did it stop Greg van Avermaet from winning numerous races.  I reckon we must look somewhere else. thisismyotherbike, Gen, tux26 and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure Savage Posted May 31, 2019 Share Glad Eddy won yesterday. Flip he is determined, opened it up with 600m to go and did not look back.  I think the most embarrassing stat is TDD has been in the least breaks at the GIRO. They have only been in 1. If I was dimension data I would be shouting and screaming at Doug to put someone in the break. Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stringbean Posted May 31, 2019 Share Basically he has no clue why they not performing.Says numbers are good ,equipment is good but cant even follow the front guys.I can’t help thinking guys are purposely on a go slow.If i watch Giro stages from the start every day I don’t see any DD riders even attempt to get in the break.Team not even riding as a group,riders scattered all over the pelaton,mostly fart arsing around the back.To me Doug is the problem but that’s just my 2C Popit, Pure Savage and DieselnDust 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pure Savage Posted May 31, 2019 Share We dont even want them to win, just ride.  Still think they should have sent their WT team to the cycle tour to try get an early season W. Dirt Tracker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
