Lol.So you(Paul23)think that defending Uran's 12th place or whatever is very important?
And LOL Majka is horrible. |

Maybe they are going for a stage win? I don't know their tactics, neither do I, but calling it pathetic without it even being an Omloop-esque situation is pathetic.

Unfortunately us Danes have to cope with the bias towards the Tinkoff riders a little longer.
Also funny how Fuglsang was nowhere to be found again today. Heard the other day in the podcast that he needed to change teams in order for him to fulfill his potential.
Oh well, I guess the commentators are giving us what the broad audience wants. |

They are probably trying for the minor spots on the GC which should be irrelevant to Uran who finished 2nd twice imo.Uran should try for a stage win in the next day.They missed the boat today.
At least Cannondale can't even pull properly

There is nothing wrong in putting extra focus on the few Danish riders. Every nation focuses more on their own riders. Tinkoff hype has largely dissapeared, and thank god for that when their main rider is this unlikeable and boring. |

but since Uran didn't attack earlier, he should be way less spent.
Also maybe their sponsor wants to see them upfront.

Did Chaves miss it because he wasnt strong enough or just a tactical mistake? |

I think its too much, all too much as a matter of fact.. they have hyped Fuglsang extremely hard this year.
Yes, its fading, but why won't they call Majka out for what he is? |

So what you are saying is that they should just give up because they are not the best? Stupid logic. Of course they are riding for what they have. |

Also maybe their sponsor wants to see them upfront. Agree with the second sentence.
Though disagree with the first one as Uran should still be worse than spent Kruiswijk,Valv,Nibz and Chavez. |
