kiddy Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Trouble brewing for Movistar at the Tour? Landa going, intent on winning. Whilst Quintana's expecting support from the full team.

[emoji85] That's not taking in to account whatever Valverde's doing!Imo Movistar have cost themselves several of the grand tours by not declaring who the team leader was beforehand. Looks like they will be in a state again in France. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The allegations against Erzen are very serious - http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/bahrain-meridas-milan-erzen-under-uci-investigation-for-doping-links/ Bahrain-Merida may not survive so it's a smart move to go to team with an Italian sponsor. Roglic to replace him? "Many of the 32 Slovenian riders in the professional peloton have been helped in some way or another by Eržen, including current Giro d’Italiafavourite Primoz Roglic, who raced for Eržen’s Adria Mobil Continental team between 2013 and 2015 before moving to what is now Jumbo-Visma. There are six Slovenian riders on the Bahrain-Merida roster, plus head sports director and former rider Goradz Stangelj, sports director and former rider Borut Bozic, team doctor Marjan Korsic, and other staff."

Bishop Briggs Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Froome out of the TDF after breaking his leg in a crash. He was doing a recon of today's TT course at the Criterium de Dauphine. Adam Yates now leads the GC at the CdD. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
printer Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Sounds like a really bad one for Froome. Hit a wall at 60mph and may have broken his femur. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereismillar Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 I broke my femur in a cycle race in 2009, took me 7 weeks before I could pedal again ,doubt very much if he will ride the tour of spain either, this type of injury has been career ending for some riders (Beloki) . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bishop Briggs Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 (edited) Chris Froome has broken his elbow and fractured ribs in addition to his broken right femur - http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/chris-froome-team-ineos-confirm-fractured-femur-and-elbow/. That's his season effectively over as his training schedule will be in tatters. ETA - the BBC has added that he's got a broken hip too! Chris is in intensive care and it sounds very serious - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cycling/48617835. "We have had a look at his data, he went from 54km/h to a dead stop."

well fan for life Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 "The four-time Tour de France champion, 34, has suffered a fractured right femur, a broken hip, a fractured elbow and fractured ribs and lost consciousness following the crash." That's a horrific list of injuries. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something about just slapping grand tour titles onto other folk years and years down the line just seems daft to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bishop Briggs Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 5 hours ago, ICTJohnboy said: Did the wall jump out in front of him? Reports suggest that a gust of wind took out the front wheel. Froome was a bit unlucky but he was at fault too. His surgeon says that he is out for at least six months, i.e. until the end of the year. There have been no reports of his internal injuries. Hopefully, they are not too serious. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
