Sloggy Posted June 5 Share problem is no one is in the form of tadej on the planet .recon his team is not as good as visma but don't think he cares with his form for the TDF. hoping roglic shows some stuff in the criterium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sloggy Posted June 5 Share I do agree with you in part in the current situation ie injuries etc with Wout and Jones and a few others however assuming they are all back to their fighting fit weight in my opinion are a much stronger team. Adam Yates like his brother just dont seems to deliver the punch on a consistent basis. Mark soler is and the other are great but for me not in the same domestique category Sepp Kuss, Tiej Benoot etc. I actually think that Sepp Kuss could be the team leader if Jonas is out, he is that strong.

Probably sit this out and focus on his pre-injury goals. 30 minutes ago, Sloggy said: Adam Yates Came 3rd in the TdF last year. Last year was his most consistent since leaving Ineos. Hell of a domestique/2nd fiddle to have. 32 minutes ago, Sloggy said: Sepp Kuss could be the team leader He was gifted the Vuelta last year. No, arguing he is a great mountain domestique but he will never in our wildest dreams podium the TdF. Ever. He is too inconsistent. Pog has Ayuso and Almeida both have podiumed GTs before. And way better than Benoot in the mountains. The only place the team may be a little short is in the rouleurs department. Can't rely on Wellens and Politt alone to control break formation and keep it in check. And they have Pogacar. He looks to have become a pretty decent cyclist himself.

Since his move to UAE, he’s had 1 job and that is to protect Pogi. I don’t think you’d find anyone better than him just based on last years form. The other two, Ayuso & Almeida are a bit more worrisome. We’ll have to see just how committed they are to work for Pogi as I think both have their own personal ambitions as well. UAE have so many climbing domestiques, it’s really the flatter part where I feel they might struggle to control a break and are a bit short. But maybe they’re just going with a new tactic this year. Pogi has always been isolated in the mountains with only Yates that stepped up last year. I think he’s hoping with Almeida and Ayuso he’d maybe have more support in the high mountains.

Sloggy Posted June 5 Share one thing is for sure that its going to be very interesting to see does Tadej carry the form from Giro into the Toure. if he does not sure how anyone is going to challenge him I will certainly keep an eye out for adam this year. What do you think is going to happen in the Criterium ie the likes of Roglic and Co Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever. He is too inconsistent. P I think you underestimate him completely, He rode all three grand Tours last year, the first two as a domestique and finished 14th at the Giro and 12th at TdF and then went on to Win the Vuelta. Most guys are not up for 2 Grand Tours in a season. Yes Roglic and Jonas could have Won, but the next best rider was over 3 minutes down on him. If Visma backs him for GC he will be on the podium.

He can't time trial for sh*t. There is no way in hell he will gain enough time to survive the 59km of TTing in this TdF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
