Dave Brailsford - cycling genius

[Random Direction]

Lets play a little game of follow the F1 mechanic for a while. Any chance that along with the PED of choice that there was a motor or battery in the jiffy bag?

A few questions. When sir wiggle got good all of a sudden, who was his mechanic, and where did they come from? Was his bike set up super secret, with the mechanic having a love affair with his bike and sleeping with it? And did said mechanic stay on with Froome?

If motor doping isnt just a conspirary theory, then there would have to be a UCI involvement. This would mean that the UCI would know who was on a motor and who wasn't. Would also lead to a nasty ability to request, um mm, donations to allow person x to have a motor, and therefore win the race. That would also mean that winners would be known ahead of time, and could be used effectively while betting. Entirely implausible due to the high moral standards of the UCI of course.

would also leave a ton of evidence in the form of modifications of bikes now hanging on walls of bike shops around the world. And money paper trails.

Never.

Wigans got good on Garmin

 

[Random Direction]

Correct. And Ryder had, shall we say, an interesting wheel...

Wiggins had interesting wheels too.

"Wheels: Shimano/Various. It's hard to say with too much certainty just what wheels the team rode. Their official wheel sponsor is Shimano and many of the team were spotted on the company's C50, a 50mm carbon fibre deep-section wheelset. However there's much speculation about some of the unbranded wheels seen on Wiggo's Dogma and his Graal time trial bike throughout the race."

 

[King Boonen]

"Wheels with Hed rims, Chris King and Tune hubs were spotted, suggesting that Sky isn't afraid to seek out the best kit, regardless of sponsorship responsibilities, if they think it'll give them a marginal gain. This is nothing new, we've seen many riders and teams over the years riding unbranded wheels in the search for extra speed."

Paragraph directly after the one sniper posted from the article.

that it's "nothing new" doesn't make it more or less suspect.

Of course, that's why you left it out of your post.

 

[sniper]

i kinda like left it out because there is no forum rule that requires me to cite irrelevant information.

And whats the point here?

That he had interesting wheels.

Re:

Im a little confused as to why you post such a thing in the clinic then if he just had interesting wheels. I mean, does it imply anything?

There was only two TT stages in 2015. The prologue where Froome was 39th, highest place was Thomas in 12th and the TTT where Sky were 2nd just behind BMC. It's not a great advert for Stefanos wheels or am I missing something?

 

[CTQ]

@samhocking ,that Team Sky have 12 riders in the TTT at the TDF ...............

Cope:

"Of course I'll go. I don't want to go because I don't see what I can add. I don't know what was in there and also there's some fact… I wasn't the women's coach. The coach and the manager are two different things. I was the women's road manager. But yes I would go. Yes."

Busy days for Fran. Must not be easy to have to prep a fool like Cope.

Hey Sam. I was looking forward to your views on Nicole but you've not been around since then. What did you think?

Wait...What? Bin-men, cleaners and gardeners etc are 'losers in life'?
Is this the Gordon Gecko school of life values?

And what does an athlete's talents as an athlete have to do with his/her fictionalised abilities outside with anyway?

 

[Robert5091]

Cope says he knows nothing - what about Phil Burt who's supposed have given the jiffy to Cope?

(don't knock cleaners - we clean away your s**t - literally some times!)

Read back a page then you will see the context with my earlier post vis a vis individuals like Cope
