[Benotti69]

After a few decades it's OK again. I'm happy to wear my 1994 Lotto jersey

Just because DW was right about LA doesn't automatically mean he is right about Sky. See Kimmage has been saying how consistently inconsistent BW is

David is a gentle chap. Semi-retired almost.

He likes writing nice articles.

He never really attacked Armstrong. Just did what British writers did at the time.

Take the p1ss out of Americana.

Dave has spent 17 days with Sky. They've used him more than he knows.

It's ok. When the Dawg gets busted he can say he was suspicious at the time.

You just jumped the shark, Hog.

Probably been posted somewhere else already but the Dawg's missus is stirring it up on twitter

I look forward to @TeamSky clearing up this mess (ASAP) #fedup

To those claiming that this Wiggins/Froome thing is some sort of publicity stunt, you are wrong.

Chris & Brad on the same start line, in the same kit? Mmmmmm… doubt it!'

You never saw the Late Show with Stephen Roche, after David connected him to Conconi

She is an unmitigated PR disaster. It might be amusing for the fans, but having someone's old lady running her mouth in public can only create negatives for the team.

She's amazing!

She will fire life into the Borgs!

We need her.

Clean in 94 AFAIK.

Brit cycling wags are always excellent value - I vaguelly remember Peta Todd having a crack at the Skyborg last year too.

You have to admit, the SkyWags add to the general gaiety.

I believe there is precedent for this.

It didn't end well for that team as I recall.

The Yoko effect can be pretty toxic.

I can't look at that anymore. I get a turn in my stomach every time I see that failed politician Bill Tormey.

If ever there was an audience with their head in the sand, that's it.

Those were the times that were in it. If that same interview took place these days, there would be very few if any members of that audience who would have had their heads buried in the sand.

I doubt Roche would have the balls to appear now on TV and discuss his doping.

As for Tormey, what an eejit.

Not a chance. Can you imagine though, if he appeared on Tonight With Vincent Brown to discuss such matters.

And I think Vinny is great friends with Kimmage. He would tear strips off Roche.

There's a reason why many politicians refuse to go on that show.

That's for sure....

A Walsh tweet from today

David Walsh ‏@DavidWalshST

Lawrence, you ask my opinion on '87 Tour, the only Tour winners I've seen that I believe in are LeMond, Evans and Wiggins.

1 right out of 3 aint a good score

Then it would seem that David Walsh is doing nothing for his credibility. But then again perhaps he feels differently about those three cyclists in private. I honestly don't think that he believes in miracles. But if he had anything on these three riders, he would be right up their alley.

 

[Netserk]

Ofc all of them Anglo

 

[Zam_Olyas]

Sastre? and basso was clean in 2010 if Evans is clean.

Agree with Sastre. Basso didn't win the Tour (in '10). It's only about Tour winners.

oops thought it was a GT win.
