I was really looking forward to Egan, Tao and Pavel racing after the latter two smashed Nibali in Tour of the Alps.

Basically an excess of fluid built up around/in the tissue and cavities of the very large vertibrae at the base of the spine/in between your hips.

 

So swelling above and around the coccyx.......

I see Woods is also not racing now, after placing  top10 at TdR

with Rigo at TdF, 2 prong attack there for EF?

I am sure i am not the only one who will miss Egan, but he is being very hyped up and sometimes that is bad thing for young riders (imho)

He didn't quite manage to pull off any attacks at the TdR perhaps he needs a rest / realignment.

So Genuine leaders look like Tommy D, Zakarine, Angel Lopez, Roglic, Simon Yates and Nibali with Majka, Bauke Mollema and Landa outside contenders for a GC spot.

 

Not a bad line up at all.

 

I see Christian Knees is riding for Ineos.... that guy must be older than Valverde surely?!

I'm not really sure.... When you are a team mate of the world champ, Quintana, Carapaz et al it's quite hard to find any sort of limelight I would guess.

 

His form will be interesting.
