    Is Dylan Teuns an option for BMC now? He's had some run of late even attacked over the top of the final ascent on Sunday in Norway while wearing the leaders jersey even though he didn't need to.

    He is not at the Vuelta .bet he is now tired ...possibly a contender in a future GT

    Nicolas Roche wil be their best GC rider at this Vuelta and Dennis for TTs and some stages .... TJ will blow hot and cold but could also win a stage as could De Marchi & Caruso

    It is possible BMC come away with a few stages

    Are BMC down a rider now or can they sub in?

    They've subbed in 23-year old Belgian Loic Vliegen who'll be making his GT debut.

    Ah come on, surely THIS is TJ's GT! Imagine being Roche and told you were on domestique duty again for him!

    Who did they get to replace Sanchez in the end? I'd have put money on a tired Teuns vs a fresh TJ anyday.

    I know it's too early to say for sure but I think Tom Dumoulin was wrong not to have a go here. To me a grand tour victory and a second in the same year trumps a rainbow jersey won in one day.

    Why do you keep bringing up Teuns ?

    Not only is he tired he has not had GT exposure/experience .....so much different one week race than GTs ...its possible to excel at one week races but not GT which are all about recovery....I imagine he could be good at GTs but not yet

    The captain America national champs jersey that Larry Warbasse from AquaBlue wears has to be THE best looking jersey in the pro peleton this year.
