Lots of finger-pointing at him during his Dimension Data NTT stay but if both he and Cav have good tours with other teams, some fingers might be pointing in another direction Vetplant and DJuice 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Wakefield Posted June 29, 2021 Share 18 minutes ago, The Crazy German said: Voeckler was definitely not a nowhere cyclist he was quite (very) good. Lacking just this little bit compared to the very best. He was just very good at playing the underdog and faking suffering when the camera was near(an then still be there an hour later when the group was only a quarter its size). Although I respect his quality as a cyclist I dislike the fake personage. This was Tourmalet 2014, he literally wound this up from the start of the hairpin into full "suffer" mode. He was on a lone areaway this day. Great rider, incredible actor. DIPSLICK, Scary Rider, Wayne pudding Mol and 5 others 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a loooong list of names that performed well before and after they left NTT DD MTN Qhubeka Assos Nextphase. Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Dale Posted June 29, 2021 Share Sagan is such a pitbull. Never letting go of his bars. Stunned and dazed after hitting the deck at 54 km/h about to launch at peak power for 20 seconds. On a related note, where in the world is @Gen - hope she is oraait. Edited June 29, 2021 by 'Dale Rowl, DJR, Vetplant and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope they have their management sorted now and the Giro was not just a fluke!

There were also a few guys that hadn't performed in a while and found new inspiration and results upon joining the team. Perhaps that was a while ago and things have changed Eldron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsw Posted June 29, 2021 Share 2 hours ago, Chris_ said: I was surprised Sagan left Caleb lying there. Sprint was done, he had nothing left to do. I'm not sure what he could have done, but clearly the dude was f*ed and needed any kind of help. I was also surprised. He could not have done much from a medical point of view but showing at least a bit more concern towards a fallen and badly hurt colleague would not have done himself nor his brand any harm.

lechatnoir Posted June 29, 2021 Share prediction time - flat stage, fast run in. the usual suspects will be at the front. Alpecin have shown they're pretty decent at this game, so eyes on Merlier again today. Trek and mad Mads may have a say, but perhaps the finale isn't steep or long enough to nullify the proper sprinters perhaps? So Merlier, Cavendish, Demare maybe? France will erupt of Demare wins. The world will erupt if Cavendish wins. I hope for fast and safe racing with feet on the ground only for nature breaks. Please, no more pavement crayons!!!

Going on my Fantasy League predictions trend, it is definitely NOT going to be Merlier again Stage 1 - I selected MvdP as my stage winner. JA wins, MvdP not even close Stage 2 - I selected JA as my stage winnner. MvdP Wins, JA not even close Stage 3 - I selected C Ewan. Merlier wins, so sorry for Caleb Ewan. Stage 4 - I select Merlier. At this rate, some random breakaway rider is going to take it today. But seriously, with MvdP doing a pull in the final 2kms, it is hard to see anyone coming past Alpecin Fenix. Question is whether they select Merlier again or decide Phillipsen should go for the run to the line. All I want is no crashes. Every other result is perfectly fine.
