dsw Posted July 27, 2019 Share On a different note. Where was kwaito this tour or does he only go full superman for Froome? Ja, his lack of performance in comparison to previous years was very noticeable. He was however also in the one day races not up too his normal very high standards so I do not think there is anything sinister to his performance during the tour. I think it is fair to say that Bernal had less support from his team this year than Thomas/Froome had last year and Froome the few years before. Even Wout Poels only became better during the latter part of this race. Gen, kosmonooit and Vetplant 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gen Posted July 27, 2019 Share Sagz Baby unrivalled in the maillot vert competition Even had a stutter after #elbowgate DQ Makes a record feat seem so easy GeezYeah and it is anything but easy.. but he fights hard for it. No one else in the history of the Tour has spent more days in a leaders jersey than Sags Baby..now just to get across the line tomorrow for no 7.[emoji172] Bora will be very happy with their tour Sags in green and an incredible 4th[emoji1696] in GC ..they went in going for a top 10 so they have done so so well.

DieselnDust Posted July 27, 2019 Share I will be really disappointed if Quick Step doesn't try to rip everyone's legs off from the gun. Unfortunately, they just didn't see 14 days in yellow coming. Even JA started to believe he could do it. I think he may now change his approach to the classics and target GC in the Grand tours now. He certainly has the ability, just needs the preparation.There is a definite changing of the guard. Bernal, Alaphilippe, Buchman, Van Aert, Van der Poel, Mas, even Kruiswijk. Ineos may have some promising youngsters on their books but I'm happy that we're starting to see the last of the miracle trackies to GC contender at toppie ouderdom. Even Valverde makes me think maybe I should give a pro career a go..... Gen, Duane_Bosch and Vetplant 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yo-Yo Posted July 27, 2019 Share Was an amazing tour this year. Shame it kinda fizzled out a bit in the last two stages with the weather, the loss of Pinot as challenger and the short stage today. You have to wonder what Ineos are going to do next year. Froome back, Thomas won’t have the same distractions as this year and a drive to be back at top form, Bernal will be the defending champ and then Carapaz will also be in the mix. 4 GT champs, 3 GTs. At this rate you’ll have more leaders than domestiques in the tour team! Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Wout Poels only became better during the latter part of this race. And where was Moscon all the time? The lack of the formation is what concerned me about Bernal winning, which makes his victory all the more impressive. Plus the whole thing about who is the leader coming from all sides must have unsettled him but he handled it incredibly well, as did G ultimately. It was only last year May/June that he showed himself up the mountains at Tour of California ffs. dsw 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
