  • Panache? Ride with it and you get a 'get-out-of-jail-free' card.

    I think its a fucking shame Geraint has gone all stage-racey. I can't see him being able to keep up on those steep Italian climbs in the Giro and he was turning into such a strong classics rider. Was it last year or the year before when everyone was shit-scared of him in the Ronde and he was marked out of it?

    Anyway can't wait for the foul weather, baying crowds, mud and cobbles. Best time of the year.

  • You don't end up in the top ten of the Tour GC in the final week without being able to climb. I can see why he's done it, but I think he's better suited for the classics.

  • Yeah but them spikey Italian mountains, I remember how badly Wiggins came unstuck going up and then down them. I know G can climb, I just don't think he can climb with the best of them over 3 weeks. And he had the potential to be a monster in the classics, in 2015 he looked incredible.
