Jakkals. Posted June 10, 2019 Share Eddie the Bos! He has been carrying this team for the last few years! Tbh, he is the only WT rider that seems to have the ability to win. Maybe he needs to share his training formula/discipline with the rest of the team. Rowl, Vetplant and Dirt Tracker 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure he will finish with the front okes today, seems a bit hilly, but lets see. Jakkals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor old Julien Vermote will likely do all the work. Vetplant and dsw 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vetplant Posted June 10, 2019 Share Me as a Spindoctor for TDD:"TDD as a world tour team is oblidged to send riders to all of the World Tour events. We decided that the TDF section of the season is our main focus point and thus we prepared our main riders for this part of the season, knowing full well that we will be compromising our chances of success in the early part of the season. We still sent teams to other events on the calendar, but the goal was really for them to earn experience in those events and the pressure was never on them to bring home results. EBH winning a stage of the Tour of Norway and Stage 1 of the Criterium du Dauphine, subsequently winning the Yellow Jersey in the process shows that the guys are peaking at the right time of the season according to our plan. All is well at TDD and we expect big results at the upcoming TDF..." Andymann, Jakkals., Underachiever and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Phil Posted June 10, 2019 Share cummings finished with vermote.....You right Vermote finished 4 places ahead of Cummings. Which is 5 places ahead of the last rider. But Vermote literally pulled at the front for DQS when he was there and was in the break yesterday so he gets a pass from me. Cummings however.... Moot point though since someone posted that Cummings had abandoned. Edited June 10, 2019 by Big Phil Patchelicious 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cummings however....Moot point though since someone posted that Cummings had abandoned.finishing order in the autobus is always moot point.

tubed Posted June 11, 2019 Share Was piss poor disappointing to see EBH in yellow with not a single teammate around him to help, he clearly wanted to try and hang on to the jersey and got zero help. By all accounts it was similar to Paris Nice with the big guns and their teams racing on day 2 of a stage race - so there was no armchair ride and a sprint finish for EBH, kudos to him for doing justice to the jersey and at least fighting to the end. Perhaps J Vermote can get a pass for being in the break the day before, but for the rest, unless there is some breakaway action in the rest of the week, thats it for their race for the week, so it turns into another training ride with us scrolling down the results to look for DNF's. dsw, Long Wheel Base, MDJ and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps, with the exception of Vermote, the riders selected to support EBH at this race are just not good enough to be competitive at this high level of racing even if they try.
