DieselnDust Posted August 19, 2020 Posted August 19, 2020 Louis is 28 now and I figured that he's got to start showing his ability again in 2020. There's still two more grand tours after the TDF but I'm starting to think that he just doesn't have it and those two good years was ....erm.....assisted. He reminds me of Cunego Wayne pudding Mol, Christie and DJuice 3

Bernal, Carapaz and Sivakov does make for a very strong top 3 in that team. Ineos vs Jumbo Visma is going to be a good battle. Plus all the other GC contenders keeping them on their toes.

Froome and Thomas just aren't good enough at this stage. I wonder when Geraint's contract runs to an end at Ineos?

Wonder what they will do with Carapaz? He was always slotted in to defend his GC title and now he's a 2IC or co-leader at best? Kwiato seems a bit of the odd man out in that group but he has been putting on some solid performances. Wonder how Sir Dave will spin this decision. I'm guessing it will be 'all planned', no panic.

Wonder how Sir Dave will spin this decision. I'm guessing it will be 'all planned', no panic. Watch the video posted above. He explains everything. I think Carapaz will go to TDF and go with Froome as a co-leader in case he hasn't come right. Bernal didn't look like he had the juice at the Dauphine.... He got dropped pretty hard a few times and had no answer. Could they be playing the 'Landa' bluff for Carapaz again? Vetplant, Dirt Tracker, Gen and 1 other 4

Missed that press link. https://www.teamineos.com/article/ineos-grenadiers-set-out-grand-tour-plans-for-2020 Honestly, Sky / Ineos / Grenadier have been getting more and more sucked into this CEO corporate approach with CEO titles, COO titles and interviews sounding more like the latest corporate buzz word bingo. I was listening to an interview with Sir Dave last week and he was going on about the way he's working wiht all different parts of the Ineos company and if I didn't know he ran a cycling team I would have thought I was listening to a Tony Robbins business type waffle as there was barely a mention of the sport or a rider in it while talking about the team in 2020.

He'll have to make it through the first week in one piece the way the peloton has been going thus far! I really hope he's got his racing eye in because its a very nervous protour in 2020.
