    Cookson V McQuaid who do you think ???

    Correct - and suddenly it will dawn on dear Brian that somebody has to pay for all these grand plans he's been spouting forth these past few months... will Makarov pay for them too?

    Pulling a Wiggins

    "Donkeys like Wiggins that had little talent" - got to love the level of intelligence that lurks around here :D. You sit at your keyboard and in a spark of imperious wisdom call a bloke who's won the Tour de France, 7 Olympic medals (four of them Gold), forgot how many World titles a...

    "another interesting piece I found on the UCI and president Pat McQuaid " Thread

    This "dossier" is going to backfire - sadly doesn't suggest any smoking gun evidence. Without such, this is going to appear what it actually is - an another attempted smear by Makarov. McQuaid for all his faults could actually be right, Brian could be merely a puppet - All hail Comrade...

    Teams & Riders Froome Talk Only

    Errr, Froome lived in Tielt-Winge, Belgium when he was at Konica-Minolta

    Pat McQuaid not nominated at Cycling Ireland EGM

    Pound would be a disaster! I'd rather stick with McQuaid! PR skills agree - McQuaid has chronic foot-in-mouth syndrome, but drink problem? No, he does not. The man has plenty of faults and flaws for you to choose from without inventing rubbish about him.

    Rigoberto Uran discussion thread.

    Rather rude of you to question whether I can read English! Do you think I get my information from press articles? It came from the horses mouth, not rumour or media speculation, which is why I specified the team and the suggested timing of the official announcement (post #33). If you can...

    Rigoberto Uran discussion thread.

    http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/uran-linked-to-omega-pharma-quickstep Ah finally, three weeks after I confirmed this, the cat appears from the bag ...and yes Henao is going too

    Wiggins Discussion thread.

    The truth in fact is his knee is wrecked and giving him problems. No point people suggesting he should pack and go for the Tour as Sky 100% behind Froome for that gig

    "The Secret Pro" on Katusha and doping

    Hate to make the detective work harder but each Sky rider receives a new iPhone (with personalized case)and iMac from the team every year. BMC riders get given new Blackberry's every year, not sure they receive laptops though. In the case of Sky and BMC, these 'goodies' are not sponsored...

    Shouldn't Sunday Times Be Rehiring Kimmage?

    Mrs Murphy - your reply suggests you have quite an axe to grind with CN that possibly goes beyond them failing to apologize for writing soft articles through the Lance years :rolleyes: Kudos to the ESPN journalist for his admission - it is obviously something that he feels he needs to do to...

    Shouldn't Sunday Times Be Rehiring Kimmage?

    Mrs Murphy, I hear your point but are you familiar with libel laws? Something that Lance and his highly paid team of lawyers were previously rather expert at utilizing. Whilst it would have been very nice and honorable for journalists to write fearlessly what was generally suspected via the...

    Shaun Stephens to Sky

    Shaun is NOT replacing Yates - He is replacing Bobby Julich as a performance coach. He is not a Director Sportif. He will work alongside Tim Kerrison, Head of Performance.

    Team Ineos (Formerly the Sky thread)

    Brian was a clean rider - he was aware of Lance's practices whilst at Motorola and saw with his own eyes what went on at Lance's place in Nice. Privately, Brian would talk against LA and what he got up to in the strongest terms. Brian is a whinging Scot but he's no doper.
