The 2021 Men's WT season is over. Time to judge! ๐
I'll be covering the teams alphabetically, analysing their season performances & results, based on their team goals, philisophies and 2020 transfer strategy.
I'd love to hear your takes too. ๐
See the thread below. ๐
AG2R 1/5
Approaching 2021, AG2R stepped away from the Bardet-centered approach, and invested in O'Connor and a stronger classics squad. ๐ธ
Turns out one of those investments had great ROI. O'Connor delivered a better TDF GC result than Bardet's previous 3 years, 4th. ๐
AG2R 2/5
AG2R's cobble classics squad did not deliver. Only a podium at RVV with GVA. ๐ฌ
Then again, it was common knowledge that GVA and Naesen were going to have a hard time competing with Deceuninck, WVA and VDP. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
