    lols...sky...with the three most ludicrous GT riders ever (well at least two) are now responsible for the sport's clean up :-) :-) :-) I remember Armstrong claiming suchlike (and paying for UCI testing)....Sky riders didn't get caught because the UCI wanted Murdoch and his money and because they...

    i think also overlooked is the riders themselves,...what they know they can manage physically......if you can win a GT you are a certain type of rider with a certain type of mentality...you don't just chance your way in.....and it's difficult to hide the sort of rider you are in mid-pack...

    the weight, the romandy TUE whilst beating Martin in a TT, the (alleged) asthma, badzilla, the excuse and study to get off the positive, the 'he just lost the fat'..and the fax that everyone (including Froome himself) never realised he was the one of the best physical specimen the world had ever...

    lols....our hapless hero can't help but keep giving...as ever the devoted @samhocking here to try and help out. Can't wait until next season...I consider this payback for seasons 2011 - 2018

    Yup...all we do know is that, in Wiggins and Froome you have the two most ridiculous GC careers in history (well of non-sanctioned riders :-)), a doping positive in one case, TUEs in both cases (one with a dodgy UCI contact), and a doctor not afraid to dope riders and now banned..... we can do...

    to be fair he also went from cat 4 to cat 1 in '11. His current travails lend his career some symmetry, he's regained the form of his early 20s...most late 30 year olds would kill for that :)

    It would be a great study for yon south african boy to do...the physiology of a 'champ' post-accident. If I were the team owner, I think I'd be demanding it. Fill in the blanks please... " He just.........?" I said blanks...Froome's filled in the banks :-)
