Wow, there's a list of riders I wouldn't want to considered alongside if I was a pro rider.

If it's 400km, the training and the squad selection changes so that they can roll for 400km and deliver the sprinter (who now maybe Freire and not Cavendish) and you would still be complaining, just for longer. If it's 100km, it's the same, except featuring the sprinters who are despised...

Can Hoy win these races? or Bauge? No and Non. This is because you're ignoring the fact that there has already been a massive selection, the selection that gets you into a top Pro Team as a sprinter and then selection for the race in question. These guys are there because they can handle the...

Schleck was the highest finisher who didn't fail a dope test, therefore he is the winner. If Contador had been slung out the moment his B sample had tested positive, we wouldn't be having this debate. The 2011 season made Schleck look like a **** and Contador a hero but Contador shouldn't...

And the fact that his dad is an Aussie never gets a mention at all. Strange.

Don't see any reason why Lance can't get in shape for July. He probably fancies his chances now.

It will be interesting to see how close that squad is, but with Cavendish in for Thomas who we know isn't riding.

Oh come on, you're not even trying. Unless of course, chronology isn't a striong point.

Well you do have a point there, at least it wasn't some baseless kneejerk reaction.

Where do you get that from?

Love this quote... Julie Dore, the leader of Sheffield council, said: “We fully support the Times campaign. We are keen to make Sheffield a cycle-friendly city.” Which would indicate that it isn't currently.

Probably, also perhaps level of profile in an English speaking newspaper, maybe also dieseling ability would be more use to him than explosive climbing.

Gets my vote.

Don't think he sleeps eighteen hours a day. He's not Spanish. I think it's a cultural thing, Cavendish would have found it funny, thereby increasing team bonds etc. I'd expect similar banter at GreenEdge or anywhere with a large Brit/Anzac/Irish contingent.

Well, I imagine he has a lot of time to kill. Anyway, he doesn't say this just for your benefit; there's a little pop at Cavendish in there, a word of warning to his team mates that there is one priority at the tour, a nudge to Sky management that they could be something special if they...
