The free hub's on these high end bikes are ridiculous and the wheels can spin fast and freely for sometimes minutes at a time.
The fact Armstrong is trying to have an opinion on it is beyond laughable.
I suspect Moviestar will send one of them ahead in a break away - This way they don't need to chase at all and can apply pressure on Sky - Obvious tactic really and truth be known we need it to open the race up and stop it becoming 'a sit and watch the Sky train' grind down the rest
Sky don't seem to regard Valverde as a threat. They have let him go off up the road. Suggests Landa is the main man.
Interesting that Valverde was allowed to go on up the road, yet struggled to maintain his position - that will please Sky - It was an obvious move to let one Moviestar rider go ahead, then the other 2 can sit in the peloton and bide their time - Yet Sky now have over 2 mins on Nibali and over 3 mins on any Moviestar so they can build on that allow it in any break away move that goes ahead of them
My gut feeling is they will allow G to be top man, with Chris sat in the shadows ready to take over if/when G struggles and/or any current 3rd/4th place man puts pressure on them
Didn't see where Yates finished but out the top 10 now
Can't see DD retaining him for next year - not sure what contract he has left - but DD has had a poor couple of years - Not just Cav - DD will need to re-build - If so where does Cav go and who needs him - My suspicion is back on the track for a final hope of gold in 2020
it sounds like an interesting day

Now other teams know what to do plus age has caught up.
He was the one that drew me to road biking though. Sure it's the same for many others.
But yes I'm a Cav fan and he has done wonders for the sport - Understand he is very popular in Italy and much of the continent
