Pro - Racing
Im new to watching, following Pro Racing.....(have always watched Tour')...few questions.....
Why do teams take certain riders to some races and not others....seems like they would want continuity between all team mates.
Why do some teams at the end of a race propel their best sprinter(ie, Sky and HTC) and others are all discombobulated.....Do they not have a protocol or rehearsed plan..?
Why do Pros, example T. Phinney, place 11th one stage and then not even top 100 the other stages when there very similiar stages.......Did they burn out, team agenda...?
Sorry about all the questions but alot of it doesnt make sense to me.....It seems that Pro Racers go into some races not even thinking of placing much less winning, then Why go...? Seems like teams should have more strategy built into place in my oppinion...
Thanx, Sean

Ya, you're right. Those professionals who have been doing it for lifetimes really don't know what they're doing. You should go over there and show them all that they're wrong.
