Let's be honest too. $$$ talks and if Movistar pays right I'm sure he'd go there under the right conditions.

Just lol at people who think Landa would automatically get buried behind Quintana after the latter's horror show this Tour, Quintana can't win for poo poo.

vikingstrike posted:How much longer do you think Valverde is going to get that shot though? He's well into his thirties and coming back from a brutal injury. I think that a lot will depend on Valverde's recovery. If he is strong and healing well during transfer season, they keep him. If he's not, you get Landa.

Wasn't there talk about Nairo moving because of "bad team fit" or something else equivalent to "doesn't get on with the management"?

In a story about the Movistar rumor Landa's manager claims that he wants a guaranteed spot as a captain for a grand tour in his contract. I just don't see them pissing off Nairo who's a year younger or Valverde who had a hell of a season before the crash over getting him.

Something to do with optimal cadence vs total spent energy? The computer might have said yes.

It's just fun to take the least charitable interpretation for everything Landa does because that interpretation being true would make the Tour more exciting. Everything he did today and on Thursday and Friday is perfectly compatible with him being 100% loyal to Froome and Sky, I'll grant you that, but it's still weird to see the levels of hostility itt at suggestions to the contrary. Can we settle on "Landa looks at least as strong as Froome, and that's an interesting position for the presumed Tour winning team to be in"?

Froome can presumably take enough seconds in the TT for it to more than balance out. The rest is economics.

Drugs cant explain that unless they have the side effect of making him grow a set of huge steel balls

I like how the British press are scandalised because of Froome getting booed but then when they ask him about it he's all 'no it's cool calm down you idiots'

Ryan suggested that the only other person to act like this (with the media) was Bruyneel when he barred Sporza at the 2009 Tour de France. Renaat Schotte from Sporza calls the way they treat the press worse than whatever Armstrongs team ever did, and I'm sure most of you remember how good that all was

And he'll look 60. Brailsford's just under a lot of stress, what with all his buddies at british cycling potentially losing their govt. money.
