Nino saving himself for the Olympics?

with 8 weeks to go I doubt there's any savings. The form just isn't there yet. Maybe he will peak for the Olympics but so will everyone else and they all have pretty decent coaches. Baring MVDP, Tom Pidcock and others sustaining injury, falling ill or the Olympics being cancelled, N1no is in for a hell of a fight to retain his Olympic title.

I was also thinking that Nino is training for the Olympics as a main goal and during the time of the last few races he would not be at his best because of the training / fatigue, we all know his training routines are legendary and he would have to up the ante to have a hope of beating MVP and Pidcock. 

 

Ja its a long shot.... time will tell
