DieselnDust Posted April 10 Share Remco & jonas both had successful surgery. Jonas is the bigger tragedy because of the collapsed lung. I doubt he’ll be a contender at tdf if he turns up. Remco will likely be there but similar to Tadej in 2023, might be healed but the body takes a lot of energy to heal so I doubt he’ll be in peak form betaboy and Frosty 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted April 10 Share Every year, I wish for no crashes in the Tour, and that the best rider wins. Seems this needs to be extended to the whole season. Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might be their saving grace to a level playing field. But I doubt Jonas will be at the starting line. Vetplant and Spinnaroonie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My biased view is that they should set Kuss free to go for GC, but then as a team they should just focus on going stage hunting for WvA, bump up his 9 stage victories to 15 and bag the Green jersey...

Let's see who can recover and adequately train by the time the TdF rolls around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
