    Vincenzo Nibali

    I truly hope he is clean however after seeing him bridge the gap to Nieve then pass him like he was on a motor bike raises questions. He has also looked like he could have done this on every mountain stage. On the 2nd stage that Majka won, he looked like he had hardly broken sweat, had time...

    Transfers and Rumours 2013 > 2014

    Sky will build there team around Froome for the next 2/3 years with Wiggins being on a downward curve why would he consider riding for anyone else. Especially a Russin owner who is flaky at best and has a history of turning a blind eye to doping.

    Vuelta Leading Contenders

    True but Nibali has stated he is going for stage wins unless he is trying to down play his chances and most of the other contenders will have ridden the Giro also. As for riders like Basso he's well past his sell by date and will be being put out to pasture with Cadel Evans very soon.

    Vuelta Leading Contenders

    IMO I feel you can't look any further than Purito or Valverde. They seem head and shoulders above the rest at the minute

    Why would Froome leave a team with one of the biggest budgets in cycling for a team that doesn't exist. Utter,utter rubbish!

    Wiggins Discussion thread.

    That's before his season went Pete Tonge at the Giro. He's reassessed and it's now a target. He does have any uncanny knack of engaging brain before mouth.

    Wiggins knocked off bike, broken ribs suspected.

    I'm a fan of Wiggins but the finger is simply pathetic.

    Wiggins knocked off bike, broken ribs suspected.

    Unfortunaley this shows the ignorance of the British motorist, the amount of abuse I've had whilst riding is crazy. Most try and force you off the road by riding closer than neccessary and cutting you up. I've been hit twice once during the day and once at night by drivers not paying attention...

    Who would you put your money on, Valverde or Baby Schleck?

    Neither as one can't TT and will never to able to and the other struggles in the high mountains. If i had to take one it would be Schleck.
