    Cyclingnews a Team Sky cheerleader?

    Those article suggestions would make interesting reading and I'd love to see them appear. I understand the argument that some of the Sky pieces are not interesting if you're not a Sky fanboy, but I liked reading them, maybe I'm the only one, am I really that sad :D

    Cyclingnews a Team Sky cheerleader?

    The merit is that this team is winning races from the off and already giving a very good account of themselves, that's why some people want to read about them in the round, not just the race stuff. As far as I can remember there have been out of season articles in the cycling press, including...

    Cyclingnews a Team Sky cheerleader?

    I'd say that Sky are a valid cycling story right now, racking up the wins at a respectable rate, they deserve articles and as a complete Sky fanboy who am I to complain :) I think that allegations of conflict of interest are baseless, Sky are in the headlines on merit alone...

    Foods you carry whilst cycling?

    I'll be packing Science in Sport products - they work really well for me, been using them since I got some freebies at a Sportive last year and reading various training books recently, especially Dr Garry Palmer/Richard Allens excellent sportive training guide . I don't like to stop, I never...

    Team Sky

    Of course Sky is a British team, they drive Jags and have Marks and Spencer as a sponsor. All they need now is Royal Appointment to her Majesty the Queen and the argument is over :) ANC Halfords, absolute heroes to be enshrined forever in British cycling history, my earliest memories of...

    Team Sky

    I get asked even more now why I shave my legs, I still don't have an answer beyond "Because everbody else does in the sport"!

    Team Sky

    Agreed, but as a passionate UK cycling fan, for me it's a real shame that such a wonderful (almost undreamt of) thing as a UK registered Pro Cycling team is being so controversial. When you love a sport so much but for so long have only had fleeting moments of national pride over the decades...

    Team Sky

    I find it hard to hate any organisation who pays for my five year old son to have his first real cycle ride on a closed city roads loop, gives him a free hi-viz vest, quality water bottle, cycling mitts, bike stickers, spokey dokeys and access to a free cycling festival in a city park stuffed...

    Team Sky

    That's fair enough, everybody is entitled to an opinion and I respect yours. In defence of Sky though they are doing amazing things for grassroots cycling in the UK. They have pumped money into the sport in this country at all levels, not least the amazing emergence of UK track riding. The...
