Yeah, I've loved it. Biggest surprise for me isnt Tao, who we know was pretty useful in the mountains, but that Rohan Dennis can climb. Like *really* climb.What an unbelievable giro this has been, can’t wait for it all to be decided tomorrow and hopefully a Tao win on my birthday!
yeah of course, he just kept coming back ahah, who knows, he could even change his game to be a GC challenger in the futureYeah, I've loved it. Biggest surprise for me isnt Tao, who we know was pretty useful in the mountains, but that Rohan Dennis can climb. Like *really* climb.
Would be interesting to see how he does in that situation but with Roglic, Van Aert, Pogacar and Bernal in the group, rather than TGH and Hindley.yeah of course, he just kept coming back ahah, who knows, he could even change his game to be a GC challenger in the future
Tao is 12 seconds up, so far so good!Get to TT on, Tao is off in a moment
also signed daniel martinez and de plus among others to add to their already absurdly long list of leaders and domstiques, going to be terrifying for other teams if they manage the riders well and balance it out across all the grand toursMissed this somehow: Richie Porte is back with Ineos (was Sky).

That's a good signing. They need to do a better job with team balance this year in the GTs. Last year was a bit all over the place, but I get the impression their victories were more by good fortune and daring than design.also signed daniel martinez and de plus among others to add to their already absurdly long list of leaders and domstiques, going to be terrifying for other teams if they manage the riders well and balance it out across all the grand tours
Absolutely, will be very exciting to see how they attack the tour with no stand-out leader as after all that has always been their pride and joy. Classics wise i think that they don't have too many options especially considering kwaito's best classics days look to be passed himThat's a good signing.

Still want to see a strong classics performance this year, but feel I'll be disappointed again! (Assuming it all goes ahead as planned)
Yeh, and especially with the emergence of a new cohort of really strong, young Dutch/Belgians. I see a bit of a new golden age in the classics for them, though I am excited for Tom Pidcock. I think he's 18 months or so behind Van Aert and Van der Poel but he looks a really good prospect.Absolutely, will be very exciting to see how they attack the tour with no stand-out leader as after all that has always been their pride and joy.
