Jonathan Vaughters: The WorldTour race to the
bottom.
"Another
season passes and another team is lucky to be alive, in spite of its
five stage wins at the sport's biggest race. Another team will be in
the same position next season. The proposed reduction of the number of
WorldTour teams from 18 to 17, or the prompt reversal of that rule, in
this case, seems to have hit a nerve with fans, sponsors, and athletes." (cyclingnews.com) (Photo: Tim

Secrets of the Giro d'Italia 2017 - Analysis.
"The
2017 Giro d'Italia route is packed with mountain stages of every kind,
balanced partially by 67km of individual time trialing.
However, the race still favors the climber but they will have to know how to handle technical descents, racing at altitude and have the endurance to be at their best for three weeks. Tom Dumoulin might be tempted by the time trials but he will have to suffer all the way to Milan if he wants to fight for the pink jersey." (cyclingnews.com) (Photo: Tim De Waele) October
