Very impressive for Eddie, Top 20 on GC at Tour of Utah, just behind Vuelta winner Chris Horner and ahead of former Giro winner Cunego.

Just noticed his 18 year-old teammate came 2nd.

Wouldn't use the word hate , more a complete lack of empathy for Froome and 'G' total body transformations .
Dunbar will be given plenty of chances , maybe not GT team leader status but one days races which might suit him better .

G "total body transformation"? Answer via PM if needed

Why would they give him plenty of chances?

Hayter is an issue for him, a TT and Track man and British. Sound familiar?

Unfortunately there's about 12 lads in that line up who have better pedigree at the races he'd be good at at this moment in time. Of course he can overhaul some of them but realistically he'll be doing the job of a Sebastian Henao or Kenny Elissonde for the next while anyway. I'd love to see him at Sunweb, Trek, EF, DD, Lotto Soudal or similar where he'd get chances.

Seriously........ Thomas has got to the startline of the tour the last 12 years, 1st was with Barloworld when he was 20 I think, he was talked about been a GT winner after he won junior tour of Wales, he was in yellow the last 2 or 3 times before he crashed out with serious injuries, so who knows this year he could have been going for the double or treble.

I hope Eddie one day wins the tour, be fantastic, and if he does would you questioning his as you put it "total body transformation" then

Eddie doesn't need a transformation, he's already small enough and strong enough to conquer the high mountains.
Thomas,on the other hand was never built for mountains, it's like a 1500m runner doing marathons

That's not true. Thomas was very slight starting out. He purposely packed on the weight for track and then went back to closer to the size he was.

Not like any of this was done overnight either, plus Thomas has serious pedigree throughout his career

I don't dispute Thomas's pedigree and I'm not too convinced hes done anything surprising, but he's 6ft tall and reasonably large in his frame. In his wildest dreams he couldn't get down to Eddie's size.

Why would he want to get to eddies 56kg weight, when he was with barloworld he was throwing out over 5 watts per kg when climbing, yea he added muscle mass for the track when going for the gold but he only added around 3-4 kgs, that's is easily lost over a few months when done right.

huh....last statement is one of the strangest things I have ever read on this site...yeah I'm sure GT is looking at Eddie...dead jealous that he's much smaller in height n weight...huh

gordongekko

Is there any chance you'd take this nonsense to a separate thread and leave this to Eddie news and updates

That's serious avoidance of context, fair play to you. The poster above referred to Eddie needing a body transformation to win the tour, like Thomas. Of course he doesn't cos he's built to climb ... unlike Thomas. Not too complicated i hope.

He on the start list for the Amstel Gold race this weekend.

Great ride from Eddie at the TdY final stage yesterday.

He's talked about a bit in this podcast, including an interview.

Fingers crossed he'll be off to the Giro.

Cycling news reporting he's riding the Giro

http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/dunbar-set-to-make-giro-ditalia-debut-after-yorkshire-showing/

Surely he can't be leading Ineos for the Giro? The reporting is a bit confusing.

With three ITTs, albeit none completely flat, what's his time trialling like?

Chips Lovell

I can personally attest that it’s very good

Think they aren't having any leader. No GC rider really among them capable of a 3 week ride.

Good chance for a stage win esp on a rolling stage
