What Is Sir Bradley up to?

[Paulus]

In the Tour of Poland he sat mostly at the back of the bunch and then stormed the TT. Now, in the ENECO tour he is mostly at the back of the bunch, chatting to Pat Mcquaid the other day. No doubt waiting for today's TT
Is he just getting the miles in after his recent injuries, or is he not really interested in stage races anymore and going to concentrate on TT's?

 

[Iain M Norman]

His stated aim for this season is a gold TT medal at the worlds.

Getting in training miles and focusing on TTs. Eneco is famous for nervous racing and lots of street furniture, so it makes perfect sense for him to hang back and keep out of trouble.

He's prepping for the Worlds, that has been his stated intention since returning from injury.

Phinney fancies his chances apparently, but I can't see it TBH.

Thanks for the link.

Am I the only one that has Sky and sticks it on a screen whilst at work?

I thought he looked a bit chunky when I saw him on the telly the other day. Glad I wasn't imagining it!

 

[Kevin Airey]

I guess he is going to up the game next year, I can't see SKY paying out top money just for a World TT title and the rest of the time domestic duties...

After all the effort that went into last season he deserves a break!

 

[Slaav]

If he is to get back to 'proper' competition next season, will he have to lose all the weight again?
That will surely take something out of him for a while???

 

[raindog]

I'd like to see him keep the weight on, not lose it, then he can target races other than three week GTs.
Become another Cancellara.
Brad's not a natural climber, and there's more to bike racing than the TdeF.
