It’s a very formidable field of riders contesting this years Tirreno Adriatico !
Vingeegard, Asgreen, Carapaz, Healy, Kristoff, Hindley, O’Connor, Powless and about 160 others!

Froomey was lucky to even start stage 3 as he had a heavy fall at the end of stage 2, with multiple skin loss and had to get scans done for painful hand.
Then the stage turned wet and cold in Tuscany.
He finished stage 3 at the back of the field.

I hope that stage 4 is kinder to him.

He didn’t say it was impossible, just very unlikely.

So is still very delusional.

Until he can even win a Conti level event by miles, Bradbury will get another gold before he even makes the team. :roll:
