Gracias
On the point of withdrawls.
I noticed Chicchi came 7th @ WORLD PORTS CLASSIC yesterday.
I have never really thought about it before till now, but I feel if a rider nominates to ride a tour e.g. Giro' they shouldn't be able to ride any other tours till that tour is finish if they withdraw. I think this would keep more riders in the race and stop ZABEL(won 400+ stages , never finished a TDF) types even entering, also giving a greater chance to the tougher more durable sprinter's a SP JERSEY, after all it is a GRAND TOUR.
I know they need to keep fit, but when tour like the giro has the first week of sprinting and these speeders come in and them withdraw 7 days later. I always use to call Pettachi "THE CAT" cause he didn't show much heart. He has certainly got ALOT tougher with age.
I nearly choked last year when media asked is Cav the best sprinter ever after he got his 200th win up. I instantly thought of , have you ever heard of a bloke called Zabel 400+, Cippo, but to Cav's credit, he has finished the TDF.
I think it is slightly wrong robbing other riders of a team spot at Giro' or world port classic, it also weakens the team as well at Giro'.
Some food for thought
They aren't. The team has to get permission from the UCI to ride a race if you've withdrawn from a race that is still ongoing. They usually grant it if you withdraw for good reasons, like illness or a crash.
Thank you Huberto for that , cheers.
Yay! We can 'see' you! Welcome back...
