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.
