    Team Ineos (Formerly the Sky thread)

    Sports in generally has gotten away from the regulators. I have to say we can give up on the dope testing, it catches about 2% of all doping, waste of time and money. Balco exposure was not from dope tests, US postal was exposed due to disgruntled fella. I thought Cycling had cleaned up but here...

    Teams & Riders Froome Talk Only

    Re: Re: You know I am not all against Froome overtaking Thomas, that will be one absolutely ticked off Thomas. I have said there are two ways Froome can be exposed, Balco-like syringe mailed or a ticked off teammate (aka Landis expose Armstrong). Perhaps such a blatant selfishness will trigger...

    Teams & Riders Froome Talk Only

    Re: Can anyone please tell me a time you know when Froome has gifted a stage to someone?? There are several cases I can think of regarding Contador gifting someone a stage, a teammate or a friend in another team, I ain't see that from Froome. He could have pushed Wiggins aside, does someone...

    I guess Froome reserved the Keg? I am thinking stage 19, perhaps this stage was too obvious or too short to crush the opposition. I am not buying all that "tired" look. Usually fake news to throw off folks

    The problem is Giro 75mile plunge was a surprise for everyone. Froome had not been known for doing long range attacks, he sticks to the Sky train and then lets go maybe 10-15mile down the line if it is "long" range. Now the long range thing is part of his profile like Contador and this 65km...

    I am sure Richie Porte had a good laugh when he read that comment.

    Did anyone notice Froome constantly looking back at Dumoulin? He is very worried about him. Emhhh..I wonder why, since Froome is the only one with the magic juice, or is he?. My theory...Froome is asking why is Mr D still firing on all cylinders after Giro just like me? Has he perhaps gotten...

    Re: Re: I think unfortunately the only way we will be able to get some insight is if someone mails in a syringe (BALCO) or some disgruntled Sky fella spills his guts (without Landis spilling, LA would still be classified an alien hero). Yes, its also the whole Sky, isn't this the same Wout...

    I think Froome is playing with GT, he can easily whisk away and put 2 minutes on him. Speaking about impact of Giro, I remember Contador's two times he tried the double made so much noise about recovery. Quintana last year looked baked. What is different with Froome?! After that 75 mile plunge...

    Teams & Riders Froome Talk Only

    I cannot understand Sky and froome. How can anyone be in this sort of shape after Winning the Giro?? I am baffled. I can't even write about it, where does one start? I have decided to cancel my cycling TV subscription and not follow cycling any more. May be in a couple years it will be better...

    OJ froome? I had to laugh. That is so funny. yet so appropriate. Different rules for different folks. Yet justice finally had its day with OJ. Perhaps OJ Froome too? who knows... I have NO doubt that Lance would have gotten off if USADA had transferred the file to UCI. UCI kept asking for that...

    I really don't know what stuff/program Froome is on but is has got to be out of this planet stuff, real Krytonite, superman stuff. 80k+ ride alone in a GT MTN stage, did not fade even in the last 5km and then next day could have done it again. I think Domoulin and co must feel helpless...

    It is perhaps the end of cycling as a creditable sport. Not the beginning of the en, that started with Lance. The only thing that moves change is money. When sponsors start fleeing, TV deals are cancelled, perhaps there will be change Lance should be completely exonerated and his ban lifted. I...

    The Yates (AKA the TUE Brothers)

    Its still baffling to me how Yates capitulated. It was night and day. It does not add up at all. Was he warned that he was glowing after that amazing time trial? The way he looked strong and confident before the rest day and then after that a blow out. It really does not add up/ If anyone has...

    I wonder if this is not a bargaining chip. He gets a visit (secret) tonight to dunk tomorrow and they will give his 6 months backdated and not scrape previous results. That way he can still ride TDF.....
