Re: Stage 16: Pinzolo – Aprica 177 kms:Where legends are mad Good to see Kruijswijk going so well. That one costly lapse on stage 4... Wasn't it 2011 in his rookie Giro when he was the only one that had the audacity to follow Contador? I wonder if he has the physical maturity to make it stick...

Wow. That escalated quickly. "Peters to Porte: 'Have a banana.' " "Brailsford Pressured Over Porte/Motor Home Relationship: 'They slept together for two weeks.' " "Brailsford Dismisses Porte / Motorhome Allegations as 'Just Semantics'. " < https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ > ** **...

It is important to gaze deep into the alphabet to stay centered on the narrative of marginal gains. Furthermore Sky's resident psychiatrist is of the opinion that given the degree to which the motor home has been anthropomorphized, Richie's complex relationship with it has been elevated to...

RIP LRP If the naysayers ever wanted a better demonstration of the importance of marginal gains, this is it. One missed warm down, that's all it takes. I Guess That's Cycling, It's a Cruel Sport: "I couldn’t warm down after that stage and had a terrible time trial the day after,” he said...

Porte is injured as much as Wiggins was in the 2013 Giro after being humiliated descending in the rain like my dear departed granny. It's too damaging to the "brand" or myth to continue, but not acceptable to quit without some sort of injury. What are they supposed to say? "Richie Porte was...

Re: Re: "Protocol? Sir Dave is known as The Proctologist, that's how much we know protocol." - Richie Porte

"Sky is the first to take the I.V. and add the R.V. Which is better because, alphabet." - Richie Porte

"Sky were the first to bring out the inner chimp, until Bjarne the mad genius trumped us with Oleg, the outer chimp." - Richie Porte Chapeau, Beech :D

"Sky were the first to eat clown barf, and now everyone's... well, Oleg can't do that because for him it would be cannibalism." - Richie Porte

"Sky were the first to bag our farts at altitude, and now everyone's... um, well I think we've still got the edge there." - Richie Porte

"Sky were the first to get laid, and now everyone's doing it. Well, by a woman anyway, and soon I hope, cuz it's taken me years to find a girlfriend. Even Dawg's talking about it, except he hasn't had permission yet either, maybe after the Tour. So we get to play the backpressure marginal...

Interesting to read all the posturing about suing Hendo. Obvious tactic is to try to gain as much traction as possible from their outraged reaction. Then drop it like a stone. Proceeding to litigation would be lose/lose. Hendo would probably be forced to adopt a truth defense. Open up a...

I had been thinking that it would be tough for Thomas to get away because the order in the rotation was Thomas, Stybar, Sagan, and Stybar would be on him like a terrier when he made his move. But Thomas chose a really good moment, attacking out of order just when Stybar had finished his...

Re: Re: Wow, what a mouth Lefevere has. I wish Klier had answered: "All due respect to Patrick Lefevere for having the budget to hire a lot of good riders. But what can I say, this is something he is a self-proclaimed expert about - was there ever a bigger nobody than Lefevere during his...

We (the forum, not directed at you personally) need to get our terms straight. Contador does not "wheelsuck", ever. He "follows", sometimes, as tactics dictate, such as today. I would say the same for Valverde (and Purito, though not exactly), but some people would disagree, obviously. I...
