TNT1 Posted September 2, 2020 Posted September 2, 2020 Before Landa's time.. [emoji2960]WhatLike LL Sanchex in Case D Pargne (or whatever) colours? Movistar by another name is still the same team. I do think his most notable successes with the downhill attack came after he moved to Astana anyway.
daveno7 Posted September 2, 2020 Posted September 2, 2020 Dude Carlton did a very very fine job on stage 1. He might be a bit droll but at least he knows what he is talking about. McCrossan is just plain boring and repetitive.have listened to Kirby for years up north and my opinion of him as a main commentator is that it doesn't work..he is good as a co and also does a great Paris-dakar...and those are his strengths....he was drafted into being the main comm...tends to waffle...doesn't recognise riders etc....yes Ant is dull...its a difficult job being honest...didn't hear Kirby on stage 1....have the world feed..
Mntboy Posted September 2, 2020 Posted September 2, 2020 Why the Movistar hate? Froome attacked on a downhill with the most disgusting style ever seen on a bike. I know you all hate Lance, but even he reckons the UCI needs to ban that stupid tuck position not for safety reasons but on style principles alone.I wouldn't quite call it hate. Just a disappointment with how they use their riders, some of whom were/are really talented.
TNT1 Posted September 2, 2020 Posted September 2, 2020 You guys should try watching on NBCSN. Old man Phil Ligget would give you a heart attack if you are complaining about literally anyone else.

TNT1 Posted September 2, 2020 Posted September 2, 2020 I wouldn't quite call it hate. Just a disappointment with how they use their riders, some of whom were/are really talented.Yeah, like when do you blame the rider and when do you blame the DS? Like is Ineos failing cause Nicolas Portal is no longer marshalling the troops, or are they just the worst off in terms of the marque names with disruption to the season? Would Lance have won 7 in a row without JB at the helm? I mean left to his own devices, Valverde is brilliant when he plays to his strengths. Is the instruction for the team limiting him and others now? Mas certainly seems like he should have gone anywhere but Movistar.
TNT1 Posted September 2, 2020 Posted September 2, 2020 Eh.. no hate..just reminiscing of days gone by..Days gone by? Should I wear my Banesto or my ONCE cap when I go training tomorrow?
Gen Posted September 2, 2020 Posted September 2, 2020 Mechanicals seem to be providing the most excitement today

DieselnDust Posted September 2, 2020 Posted September 2, 2020 That bike is toast, no hope. He sure is lucky makes me wonder how it achieved UCI accreditation

He was only joined for the last hour and a half by Matt Stephens. As far as I am concerned he did a very very fine job in trying circumstances.
