Apparently Steven Spielberg has donated the original ET Kuwaharas to Brailsford as a token of his admiration for the show being put on. The team will ride them into Paris just for sh1ts and giggles. Porte will lead out Froome to drub Cav in the finale. Brailsford has promised him a 500k bonus...

Thank you, about time we raised the bar. Froome can do it and he owes it to cycling to show that clean riders can achieve anything! Cav and Greipel will weep in the stick man's wake. Hopefully his groupset will be able to withstand the necessary seated cadence.

Lazy journalism with the same old doping questions running on repeat IMO. Froome should be challenged on why, at Tour no.100, he has set his sights so low. The mountain classification and GC have been easy marks for him. Why is he overlooking the Green jersey? Jalabert did it, and he was...

This seems a little harsh in my opinion. Clentador has been smashing time trials since he was a junior and some of his earliest palmares are from ITTs. Admittedly his first team - as a junior out of school - was run by Saiz, so take from that what you will, but hard to imagine he was on a major...

Ha ha :D I especially liked this bit :

Anyone seen the Froome article in the Guardian? Quite a bit of comment from Gareth Edwards. http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2013/jun/22/chris-froome-tour-de-france

Exactly my thoughts. I think many underestimate the stress attached to charging up sufficiently to win the tour, and doing so without getting popped. Especially Wiggins, who stands to look like a complete t1t with all his bluster about how much he hates dopers. Not to mention his knighthood...

Whilst I'd agree on the Olympics UCI / Sky synergy and the whole Newscorp media bukkake attached to Wiggins winning the tour last year, I feel this 'growing cycling in Africa' BS is just a soundbite for Fattie to win some obscure African UCI votes. As soon as he is out of a job that story...

Leinders also fessed up to assisting with doping products at Rabobank. Lets ask him too. Surely nobody is in a better position to shed light on this?

Yes, no doubt he would quit his coaching gig immediately and go straight to the press. Makes sense.

:confused:

According to this logic all of Riis' riders are clean, but only if he promises us that they are.

Impressive stuff. No need to back up your statements. Where I can only post 'utter BS', you are clearly on another plane of omniscience.
