A lot of rosters still to be confirmed here, but I’ll keep it updated regularly.

Everything I know told me he wouldn’t survive the final onslaught….but I still kept him. Gaudu looked good….massive effort to get back on probably told at the end, but just to get back in and compete was a big plus. That was quite a long stoppage.

Oh no. I went for that Doubey bloke..I think his cork is well and truly popped already.

That doesn’t happen very often! took SKA out at the last moment. as I often do, as I use up my transfers too early and later regret it.

 

and he’s a non starter.

*Does hills fine, second in

*Does hills fine, second in the U/23’s WC road race in Yorkshire. Did also end up eighteenth in l’Avenir sane year.

I would love him to try some

I would love him to try some of the cobbled races but he (or his team) don’t seem interested. Paris-Roubaix would be perfect for him.

Not a serious climber but

Not a serious climber but hopefully a classics rider in the making. He did well in U23 worlds road race two years ago so he is clearly a good rider away from the TT bike. Would be a shame if he gets pigeonholed as a TT rider only.

Looking at other managers

Looking at other managers transfers, I have probably used a couple too many.  Back to Ganna, I can’t see anyone getting close to him in the next few years, unless he chooses to try to make it as a GT contender. Which I think he will try, but maybe that’s a few years down the line.

Bissegger looks good. I don’t

Bissegger looks good. I don’t know much about him other than he looks like he may be a TT talent with a second rate sprint. Does he do hills?

[Dr Winston]

A very good race in the end

A very good race in the end as far as TT’s go. Campenaerts, Dennis, Lampaert not at their best levelled things up…or maybe the times are changing. I left Dennis until late because I wasn’t sure why he lost time over the previous two days…any idea what happened with that?…I was worried he may have been a now show being as I got stung with just about every Covid withdrawal last year.

Absolutely miles I reckon.

Absolutely miles I reckon. Would be interesting to see how close Van Aert or a fit Evenepoel could get especially if the course was technical but I suspect he’d still win. Bet you are happy you stuck Cavagna in today – I bottled it & saved the transfer…. poor decision.

How far ahead of the ITT

How far ahead of the ITT world must Ganna be?

Lots of riders quite close,

Lots of riders quite close, but none matching him yet… Campenaerts and Roglic coming up shortly though.
