We’ve been studying the parcours closely and there are many stages, where you can’t win the Tour but you can lose it. The flat stages of the first week with possible crosswinds, steep finishes such as Mur du Huy and cobbles will make for a tough start to the race. So we took the decision to bring one more guy for the flat stages in exchange for a climber. In the end, what matters the most is that we send a committed squad that comes fully prepared to support Alberto”, finishes Steven de Jongh.
Razumljivo mi je da su uzeli jednog specijalca manje za brda radi tih etapa prvi tjedan i pomoc saganu i pri osvajanju etapa ali opet mislim da je bilo mjesta za robija umjesto bassa ili rogersa
I nasao sam jos jedan komentar navijaca saxa s kojim se potpuno slazem zbog cega su mi vwci favoriti i quintana i froome:
Disappointed Kiserlovski not in the squad.
I only hope that Basso, Kreuziger and Roger’s support AC better than they did in the Giro, when he was left woefully exposed at times. Basso in particular was poor and,for me, past it.
Majka alone is not enough to support AC against the likes of Froome, Nibali and Quintana in the high mountains.
I only hope signing Sagan and including him and the support needed to help him win stages will not detract from the overall efforts to win the GC.
You cannot have two leaders…..it doesn’t work.
