Same here. I struggle enough with the Grand Tours, but when I don't know any riders at all...Looked at it. Didn’t know any of the competitors in the roster. Binned it off.
As far as I can see he has been retrospectively dq’d from the Tour de France this year. However he isn’t out of the Vuelta. (Yet anyway).Naughty Nairo is out, drug offences at the TDF. Painkillers, so not perfornance enhancing, but disappointing to see nevertheless.
Are you going to pick him then?My mistake - I thought he was out of the Vuelta - serves me right for getting my news on Twitter!
Personally going to avoid anybody who rode the TdF. It usually catches up with them by week 3Maybe - I think he rode himself to the limit getting his decent TDF results, and back to back grand tours are a challenge for any mere mortals. But he does look good value at 10 points. But what do I know - I usually finish bottom!
Entered my absolutely nailed on podium team.
hashtag metooBeginning to think my tactic of avoiding Rog and Evanpoel was not the masterstroke I was hoping it would be.
