Brad McGee

View Full Version : Brad McGee

Is it just my imagination or is Brad beginning to take on
some important characteristics of Larent Jalabert? I wonder
if this guy ain't going to start winning polkadots.

I think he's got higher (no pun intended) ambitions.

Have some perspective. This is the Giro, not the Tour.

What, extactly, do you mean? Granted he's looking impressive
in the Giro, but he's yet to go on a long solo on a hilly
day in pursuit of mountain points.

That was very late Jalabert. The Jalabert of 1995-2000
showed himself to be a threat for GC in the big tours, more
in the Vuelta than France, but still in France was a factor.

Brad seems to be changing from someone that wanted to be
either a sprinter without a sprint (Hardly Aussie at all in
that case) or a rolleur without a long breakaway.

Now he seems to be changing into a GC guy before our
very eyes.
