Absolutely no doubt he deserves the award as he has been a monster for Sky and he's still only 23 years of age. A very incredible talent who will only get better. Can't wait to see him ride n 2018. And i do suspect he is a good guy, accusations aside.

Surprised you even know how to spell the word drivel. lol You can't even respond with anything more intelligent than that. You must be living in a fantasy world to think Moscon is the only one who has ever said or done anything on the road.

Wow, I didn't realize how many posters on here were so all-knowing and all-wise. I guess it is easier to judge someone without even an investigation. Is Reichenbach innocent in all of this? Who knows/ We may never know but let's tar and feather Moscon anyway and hang him on a stake. Not only is...

Re: I am not very familiar with either of the brothers which is why I was asking. What attitude are you speaking of? Are they head cases and have trouble with taking orders? Do they think themselves bigger than the team?

Re: Team Sky Discussion thread I noticed that Rayanne Bouhanni is still not signed with Cofidis. Perhaps we will hear an announcement of his signing with Cofidis. If that is not in the cards for him, would he be a good addition for Sky? He young rider from France. From what I have been reading...

Re: Re: Well, it will be interesting to see where he lands and I suspect we may hear that news in the next few days.

Amen! You hit the nail on the head with that last comment (the rest was good, too, mind you). A couple of stages ago the commentators remarked that the Sky train would go to the wall for Froomie because, not only is he a good leader and well liked by the team but he delivers when they empty...

Re: Looks like a vegetarian to me. If so, needs way more veggies on there with a boatload more of cheese. lol

Re: Re: Any other information as to where Van Baarle has signed, if true? A rumour on another site suggested Sky but I haven't read anything of the sort on any site. Perhaps it is all speculation.

lol What and where is the PCS results page?

Saw the the part of the descent where Del la Cruz went down. He was grabbing his shoulder. I didn't hear any other commentary on his injury. Anyone know if he actually finished the race and, if not, what injury he suffered?

Re: Re: People on here argued as to why some riders were left off this Tour team. The simple answer is they put the team together specifically designed for each stage. I would say...mission accomplished.

Re: Re: lol I have to agree that if Mr. Murdoch and company are altogether rich and making money off the Sky Team and the work of Sky riders, so are all other owners. It would be interesting to see the percentage of profits from team to team and how that compares to rider salaries on those...

Re: Re: lol The only guys remaining in the end to climb will be the GC contenders, most of them or perhaps I should say the few of them. Up till the end, Froome will probably have a combination of Moscon, Nieve and Poels, at least a couple of them. It will come down to the purest leaders...

Someone mentioned that Froome may not have been feeling well in yesterday's stage. Did anyone notice how much he was coughing after the stage and during the post-stage ceremony yesterday. He didn't look comfortable although he was smiling. I mentioned it to my wife as it was very noticeable.
