Two teams that will merge for next year racing against each other in Colorado... interesting.
I kinda agree about Farrar with baseballlover. There's no point of not having Farrar onboard unless you have 2 or 3 other sprinters capable of securing top10 places at WT level consistently. Navardauskas tends to have the odd flash of brilliance here and there but he hasn't proven to be capable of contesting for flat sprints on a regular basis. Seeing some of Farrar's finishes recently makes me wonder what could he do with a proper leadout man like he once had in Dean. Maybe it would make sense for Garmin to look for one.
And this discussion is taking place when Garmin are driving the pace to contest for a totally flat sprint in Colorado with... puncheur/climber Howes.

It was a good leadout by Tejay but that's the danger of having a non experienced leadout man, poor head with the fall back.
Either way, really good sprint and win by Howes.

I like Howes a lot. He really is an allrounder  |

Is there an actual known reason why Farrar isn't so good any more? He used to win GT stages.

Other 'smaller' races should seriously consider doing what Tour of Utah and USAPC do with the live broadcasting on the internet. I hope we will see more of that in the future |

Yeah it's really weird, seems like a total loss of confidence and maybe he has gotten a bit scared of the bunch sprints i dunno.
But it is sad to see |

To be fair he is the only rider in the peloton they know anything about.
