    Which Rider made you LOL the most this season?

    Sorry, obviously meant Porte - his track stand was hilarious/awful

    Which Rider made you LOL the most this season?

    Haven't seen anything like Froome on AX3 since Riis & his infamous display on the hautacam - and since it seems that climb is in TdF 2014 I'm looking for Froome/Porte to go the full monty on it. Plenty to laugh at this season - you had to, to keep from crying

    Is Walsh on the Sky bandwagon?

    Cant blame fans for being angry at what they were seeing and walsh's series of adulatory tweets didn't help - he evinced precious little journalistic objectivity in the way he covered the tour. The JTL story really didn't put the necessary distance between himself and sky that he should have...

    McQuaid Family in trouble

    Didn't know that - like I say, think the thoughts but be very careful about acting on them. The fallout from the election is far from finished I think - be interested to see what the Ethics committee report on next.

    McQuaid Family in trouble

    to be fair, a lot of raw emotion flying around - not defending her actions but at least she had the decency to apologise - know when I lost my job I wrote a lot of angry, emotional emails - difference is I had the good sense not to send them

    Is Walsh on the Sky bandwagon?

    Dr M, if everyone in cycling knew about Armstrong's past, why was it a big deal whe it finally broke? Personally would have everyone who's connected with the sport who is 'shocked' by revelations of doping thrown out on their ear as either too delicate or total hypocrites.

    But he wasn't subject to biopassport at conti level

    Is Walsh on the Sky bandwagon?

    JTLs dodgy passport - seems removal from worlds was nothing to do with form then - so much for sky/BC transparency

    What should Cookson do?

    Cookson's MO isn't it? Appoint other people to do the job and provide the 'environment' for them to do it - handy scapegoat if things don't work out. Still at least British Cycling now have a chance to get fixed - Brit presence at Worlds a joke, women's cycling under Cookson's presidency of BC...

    What should Cookson do?

    Or a tokenistic one - and if women's cycling doesn't develop he can say it was all her fault. Seems there are serious questions to be answered about pre election bribes - not enough to say 'not my way of doing things' Cookson is a talking machine, nothing more - cycling's Obama

    When is the smackdown on Chris Horner?

    Another story has horner disappearing down a fire escape...

    "The Secret Pro" on Katusha and doping

    Anyone got a copy of the CAS decision allowing Katusha back in world tour? Seems the PDF is missing from CAS website. Just as makarov claims mcquaid tried to blackmail him, too. How very odd

    Newsflash. Brian Cookson, british cycling, to stand against Pat McQuaid (SUI) for uci

    A leaked dossier that tells us nothing we didn't know with makarov & plants fingers all over it. A man who said in January he wouldn't dream of standing against mcquaid who was doing a good job in his opinion. Cookson says he'll be a 'listening president' - listening to makarov and plant Like...

    Newsflash. Brian Cookson, british cycling, to stand against Pat McQuaid (SUI) for uci

    Brian Cookson has a background in British local government - having been there I'm well aware of the way that things generally happen despite, not because of, the chief executive. Cookson is fond of claiming credit for BC achievements but, when pressed on how he's actually contributed, waffles...

    Teams & Riders Froome Talk Only

    Telling that they had to even address the issue, don't you think? Maybe even the Froome fans recognise its the new cancer shield
