Why is Froome not on the list? My vote goes for him and all his Sky colleagues.

Re: Sky I saw it clear as light when I opened this thread. Today, 3 years and thousand os posts later, I can only say that the joke is still getting bigger and bigger, with no hints of ever stopping...wonder how longer it's gonna last.

Re: It'd be a major blow for Cataluña and the Basque Country considering they sell most of their exports to the rest of Spain and will be automaticaly excluded from all the treaties and organizations Spain takes part in: European Union, NATO, etc... Not a realistic option for either region...

Landa says he forgot all about it and apologizes. Is he being honest? Hope so. To all the haters in this thread: waste your time with more positive things. http://www.elmundo.es/deportes/2015/06/02/556e0aa846163f485b8b4585.html

Re: Re: MODS: please move thread if you think this is going out of hand. It wasn't my intention when I started it. Again, all my respects to the personal feelings of Landa. He can hate Spain as much as he likes but he should have removed his cap while the Spanish anthem was playing very much...

Re: Re: Exactly, Flo. That's what I meant. All respects to his personal feelings, but it was a matter of etiquette. Let's hear what he's got to say though. Peace everyone!

As many of you know, Mikel Landa hails from Vitoria in the País Vasco (Basque Country) in the north of Spain. There are many Basques, particularly amongst the young people, who don't consider themselves Spanish and hate all things Spanish (funny at least, when they are the most prosperous region...

Bravo Alberto! Won one of the best Giros ever, single handedly against an INCREDIBLY (literaly) strong Astana train which reminded me of the USP on their best performances or, more recently, of some SKY feats. Thanks for making stages like the one on the Mortirolo pieces of contemporary cycling...

Cheers for that, my friend. Experience goes a long way indeed.

On marginal gains/losses ... A bad disposition can go a loooong way. Further than any breathaliser or beef steak. As for today's Giro stage... COMPARE: SKY'S TACTICS = douchebaggery at its finest. PORTE = defeated, whining, NON-STOP COMPLAINING. CONTADOR = always fights back. NO COMPLAINTS...

SKY'S TACTICS = douchebaggery at its finest. PORTE = defeated, whining, NON-STOP COMPLAINING. CONTADOR = always fights back. NO COMPLAINTS. Did anyone else see how he jumped up from the ground as soon as he crashed? Did anyone see how one of his teammates (don't know who he was) zigzagged his...

Re: Re: He will.

Taking a wheel from a rider of another team? stupid thing to do.... Maybe he envisaged it as a marginal gain. But what really baffles me is ... where were his teammates at that crucial moment of the stage?

No, Aru, no..... not in this Giro. Try races in which Contador is not on the start list. You might stand a chance.

Hi people! Been away for a while. Surprised to see that this thread I started a while ago is the most popular both in posts and visits of the whole forums, which goes to show how most cycling fans are disgusted at the fact that they haven't been officially caught yet. Lance got away for some...
