    Team Ineos (Formerly the Sky thread)

    So you're saying his coat's ridiculous, he's doping, and boring to watch.

    Some diehard Armstrong fans now turning their back on him and Livestrong

    This should help illustrate the level of ignorance still out there http://www.aljazeera.com/sport/cycling/2012/10/20121010161727245671.html

    Petition: Froome to attack Wiggins! Save the most boring Tour ever

    Looks like Sky aren't really chasing such a large break, so they will be fresher for the Tourmalet and afterwards. Probably lessons the likelihood of a successful attack by another GC hopeful

    Petition: Froome to attack Wiggins! Save the most boring Tour ever

    I'm hoping that Nibali or even van Garderen will make a do or die attack on the Tourmalet, and get a gap that Wiggins can't close, thereby liberating Froome to go with it. Problem is Rogers, Porte etc will pull such a move back in the valleys, because the route this year seems designed to...

    Cavendish also looks a major tool wearing the world champion cap everywhere.

    Away with Power Meters

    I agree with the OP. Hate seeing riders attack then riding robotically staring fixated at their power meter. Ban PMs from racing before radios IMO.

    2003 Liege, we need a winner (assuming it isn't Tyler anymore)

    So Tyler/Riis did some stuff and it worked and Tyler won. Naughty naughty. So who should the win go to? LOL 1. Tyler Hamilton (USA) CSC, at 6:28:50 2. Iban Mayo Diez (Sp) Euskaltel-Euskadi, at 00:12 3. Michael Boogerd (Nl) Rabobank , at 00:14 4. Michele Scarponi (I) Domina Vacanze –...

    109th Paris-Roubaix. The Hell of the North.

    I'm just saying I think Goss is strong enough to be up there, and he is built for Roubaix. Also if it is hot weather, this may suit him. So that's why he's my wild card for the win. My preference would be for a Boonen win but I think Cancellara will go later than he did at Flanders. A lot...

    109th Paris-Roubaix. The Hell of the North.

    If Boonen/Cancellara/Flecha/Hushovd waste energy again going for the hero move.. Then Matt Goss for the win.

    Contador = pro cyclist = doper If you think anything else, maybe you should get into watching golf Although there are some dopers there too :-)

    Contador positive!!!!!

    the pork OK so if the pork he ate was contaminated with clen it shouldnt be difficult to get some more of that pork and test it to establish if there is any clenbuterol its very unlikely the pork was sourced from such a small supply that more could not be obtained easily, Spanish hams...

    Cavendish: Worlds course is not that hard

    I can actually see Evans repeating on this course. He is so doggedly tenacious and can grovel to the right wheel and then go e.g. Mendrisio But if its guys like Pozzato, Cancellara, Evans, Gilbert in the final I can see Pozzato trying to go for the long one, Cancellara dragging him back then...

    Cavendish: Worlds course is not that hard

    Based on the Robbie videos and all the discussions I think the only sprinter that has a good chance to make the final is Freire. Maybe Davis as well who did a very good Vuelta. As others have pointed out, the big teams will work very hard to isolate Cavendish and Farrar from about the 3rd to...
