Topic Summary

Different case. This is about a guy who spent a quarter of his suspension time drinking, going out and adding weight.
And who spent the other 3/4 struggling to get anywhere near a decent pro level. It's no miracle Garmin/Vaughters waited so long to sign him, they had serious doubts about his competitiveness.

It would not be strange to me had he pulled out or not being able to compete well in the echelons or do something valuable for the team here. Certainly if you saw him struggle with Chipotle in 2011 already. So yes, a top 20 is a great result all things considered.

Dekker finished 17th. A lot higher than I ever thought he would in a flat, echelon race  :P

I know of a forum in which the mediocre performances of BMC riders are praised in a similar way.

Nope, all i saw was some comments by Eisel saying they got it wrong.

If you've not seen it already team sky stage 4 errors...

On reflection it would have been fascinating to see if having made the bunch Cav could have made it to the finish with Boonen and Cancellara...

Cav has tweet wind blowing today - tailwind.

Anyone seen anything that explains why Sky didn't ride for Cavendish on stage 4?

He underperformed last year, yet he still got 5th in Milano - Sanremo. He has always done something in the classics season.
