Razors Edge ★ Posted June 7, 2022 Share #1 Posted June 7, 2022 ...or has age and his incredibly awful crash a few years back too big to overcome? He's on the outside looking in for a TdF slot, and claims he is just now "comfortable" again on the bike, but is 37 too old? Valverde is older, but he also isn't truly a GC contender anymore.

Kirby Posted June 7, 2022 Share #2 Posted June 7, 2022 I'm dubious. In addition to the recovery, he also has lost the support of the Ineos/Sky team. The sheer power they could throw at competing teams to control tempo etc, was a big help. He won't have that with his current team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsharr ★ Posted June 7, 2022 Share #3 Posted June 7, 2022 Not a chance if he is clean. Toss a bucket or two of PEDs down his throat and watch him shine! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisL Posted June 7, 2022 Share #4 Posted June 7, 2022 Not likely at his age he can win it but a top 5 could still be in the cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephyr Posted June 7, 2022 Share #6 Posted June 7, 2022 I would like to see him come back as it would make for a great story line, but I don't think he will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
