Yea I feel for Landa,I hope if Carapaz feels good enough on his own today they can give him a free reign to attack.Stage win stylee.

I would put Landa in the same school as Quintana, ...doesn't seem to deliver the goods after all the hype, I find Quintana really frustrating to watch , its like he has no race intuition at all.

Quintana reminds me a little bit of Rominger. He won two GT's but no one remembers him as he was such an unexciting rider

 

[Adam4868]

Hes declared himself leader of Movistar for the tour.Valverde and Landa will work for him.

I think I read (take that with a pinch of salt) that they were after Mas and Benoot ? Anyway shame as Movistar have looked good lately,strong team.I think Landa maybe will allways be looking for a team leader role.Same Quintanna who I'm not sure is ever going to reach his full potential again.Do you see him winning a grand tour ?

Nope.

I'd be surprised if Movistar weren't making big offers to Mas, so letting various riders go may be a tactical move to free up money.

You may be right,just speculation.I read it here.

Rumours in NL that Marcel Kittle is in talks with Jumbo Visma.

That seems like a backwards step for the former Rabobank outfit and their developing GC assaults. I fear what other past habits they might take up again...

That would be a great move for Bennett

As a GC contender, it's curtains, I fear.

Will Curtains be in the new team?
