Well i don't know if some of you watched it already but Team Netapp is uploading videos about their route to the Giro d' Italia 2012. [/URL]

Thanks for the share, there are a few teams doing this type of thing, would be good perhaps to have a dedicated thread for such team videos?_?

ORR comes before tt so Wiggins might not want to tire himself out doming for Cav.

Might not have any choice, think if you want to ride the TT you'll have to do the RR as there's only limited number of places.

Well i don't know if some of you watched it already but Team Netapp is uploading videos about their route to the Giro d' Italia 2012. The series called 'Against All Odds' and i think it is quite interesting. It's on German but for all you non german speakers there are english subtitles. This are the Uploaded Videos so far, have fun watching it

On that note, there are a couple of documentaries due to be released shortly looking at British Cycling's preparations for the Olympics and another one about Bradley Wiggins preparing for the Tour: http://skyatlantic.sky.com/bradley-...tic?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Sounds interesting, hope he talks.

why? he's dilusional and that comes from a ricoc fan. he will turn out bs more than even bernhard kohl did

 

[spalco]

What did Kohl say that wasn't true?

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

he said that 95% of the peloton were using doping and that you could not win the tour without it. totally delusional guy and with oen look to his face you can see why.

 

[18-Valve. (pithy)]

That's exactly the way to go.

Exactly. If nothing else it pays the bills.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

he said that 95% of the peloton were using doping and that you could not win the tour without it. totally delusional guy and with oen look to his face you can see why.

Whether Kohl was telling the truth or not, he did kind of extend his statements out to cover everybody.

How would Bernhard Kohl know whether you could be competitive without dope? By his own admission he never tried to.

 

[Ferminal]

Please move on from doping talk, there's a Ricco topic in The Clinic.

This makes me wonder, when is BMC going to switch car sponsors?

 

[Fetisoff]

And so it happens, team Itera-Katusha (or Katusha Jr. Jr.) takes over the lead for most wins among the continental teams from Endura and MTN - Qhubeka with their monsterous performance at the World Famous GP Adygea,

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

this was the best team ever

It really isn't that special a car, is this a 'sky' thing with you?_?

 

[Gloin22]

Probably. In others pics it looks better though. Defitnely should be stand-out car in the peleton. And I like jags a lot too

You're an Anglo-car chauvinist. I root for gutsy Southern European cars.
