I'm suprised so many people go for Taaramae as best young rider. If he had a perfect prep I would agree. But he had pfeiffer earlier this year. It usually takes a while until they reach their best level after such an illness again. And certainly a 3 week Tour on high level seems to much for that. I don't expect Taaramae to do well for 3 weeks. He might pick out a day but... white jersey? No. Not in this state |
