They don’t have any GC riders apart from G but he is now thinking about life after cycling and switched his focus to supporting the team.
There is only really Swiftie brothers and kwiatkowski who are of age to be the next GC riders.
yup
They missed the boat scouting new talent , i dont know if its that they need somone to come in and do a bit of behind kicking to get results or whether they need to get someone whos better at negotiating contracts would potential winners.
Just looked up budget for teams and visma, uae and ineos are all pretty much equal at around 55 million !! intermarche wanty have less than a third of that and they have scored 3 stages .
Ineos simply doesnt have anyone who is capable of competing against the cream of the crop for GC currently , I did have hopes that pidcock would develop but he seems to have peaked although of course hes bloomin fantastic he is not on the level of pog/vin.
G, lets face it hes doing brilliant for his age but the clock is against him.
Bernal is regaining form but he doesnt look like he will peak again at a level to be in contention
Rodriguez is good but again doesnt seem to have the same form as pog/vin
The sky/ineos train of old is not as strong as it was , gone are the days where they used to put the peleton to the sword to burn everyone off the wheels now UAE seem to be the go to team , in fact they remind me of the old team Sky if you discount the Pog factor .
