TNT1 Posted September 3, 2020 Posted September 3, 2020 Or are they biding their time and hiding their form? [emoji848][emoji48]We hope, I just don't think they are by looking at their riding.
Gen Posted September 3, 2020 Posted September 3, 2020 Ineos Grenades worry me this tour. It looks like they keep trying to stick to their playbook from previous winning tours, when that wont work for them here, and they seem to have lost some spark. Is it Portal? Is it G? Dunno, something is off in their racing - tactics, ability, preparation.Rebuilding..left it a year late IMO? TNT1 1
Gen Posted September 3, 2020 Posted September 3, 2020 (edited) Or are they biding their time and hiding their form? [emoji848][emoji48]More like trying to find form and hoping that they come good in week 3 They didn't look great at the Dauphine either. Edited September 3, 2020 by Gen DieselnDust and TNT1 2
TNT1 Posted September 3, 2020 Posted September 3, 2020 Rebuilding..left it a year late IMO?Something is off. I mean drafting in Carapaz when he was building nicely to a Giro defence, G not included when that experience would be invaluable especially with no Portal. Maybe Bernal still comes into form, but the rest look like they're on their way off the plateau already.
TNT1 Posted September 3, 2020 Posted September 3, 2020 I don't[emoji1787]For the sake of a good close race, I hope they do. I don't see anyone else realistically challenging Primoz. Pogacar is good, but this is a year too soon for him I think. Mntboy and DieselnDust 2
gummibear Posted September 3, 2020 Posted September 3, 2020 Feel sorry for the riders that are working so hard for mountain top wins.no cheering from spectators .All that hard work and nobody to see or applaud your victory. The Ghost and Mntboy 2
The Ghost Posted September 3, 2020 Posted September 3, 2020 We hope, I just don't think they are by looking at their riding.You hope [emoji1]I’m a Roglic / Jumbo and Sam Bennet fan Gen, TNT1 and Mntboy 3
TNT1 Posted September 3, 2020 Posted September 3, 2020 You hope [emoji1]I’m a Roglic / Jumbo and Sam Bennet fanI'm a Jumbo fan, and Roglic is my pick, but I like Bernal's style (stupid glasses aside) as well.
SwissVan Posted September 3, 2020 Posted September 3, 2020 Feel sorry for the riders that are working so hard for mountain top wins.no cheering from spectators .All that hard work and nobody to see or applaud your victory. One positive.... there are no idjit men in tangas running in front of the riders Gen, The Ghost, Plentipotential and 3 others 6
Mntboy Posted September 3, 2020 Posted September 3, 2020 Feel sorry for the riders that are working so hard for mountain top wins.no cheering from spectators .All that hard work and nobody to see or applaud your victory.Bernie Eisel said the same thing on Eurosport. All that effort and basically no one there to applaud it. Love the guts shown by Lutsenko today. Despite the fact that he rides for a dodgy team he is a fantastic rider to watch when he tries this sort of long range attack. Gives it a full go. Gave it his all and got the due reward. Just wish there were more than 50 or so people at the finish line to witness it. Gen 1
Mntboy Posted September 3, 2020 Posted September 3, 2020 For the sake of a good close race, I hope they do. I don't see anyone else realistically challenging Primoz. Pogacar is good, but this is a year too soon for him I think.Still enough time for the IGRodents to get up to race pace and give JV a solid run for their money. I fancy this is Roglic's TdF to lose given the strong support he has from his team. Like you I highly rate young Pogacar and think him a GT winner in waiting. Maybe not this year but definitely within the next two to three years. Team UAE have a very very special talent on their hands and I am sure our fellow hubber J Wakefield and co will be very keen on managing him correctly so that this will become a reality sooner rather than later.

Mntboy Posted September 3, 2020 Posted September 3, 2020 You hope [emoji1]I’m a Roglic / Jumbo and Sam Bennet fanIf Sagan loses the green jersey comp to Sam Bennett, I will not be overly unhappy about that result. Sagan is fantastic but so is Sam. Sam seems to be a very chilled, calm and collected character and would make for a worthy winner imho. Don't get me wrong though, I still want Sagan to win!!!!!!
