Someone needs to keep an eye on Kirby. Death by orgasm.
His poor hands must be terribly blistered ........Puckfiend said:Kirby lives for another day!
wirral said:I am finding the content of the 2 or 3 interviews by Thomas before the Tour about joint leadership very odd and out of character.
Thomas has been nothing but a team player for Sky and BC. Sky controls the messages it puts out to the media very strictly.
I am led therefore to the conclusion that this is a strategy by Sky, as opposed to Thomas getting a little above his station. It seems they, Sky, may be laying the groundwork for a world-beating mountain display by Thomas. "This was always a possible scenario. We always knew he had the potential to win on Alpe d'Huez. We went in with joint leaders," Brailsford may claim after the event.
Dont have to say sorry to me... Im not on the side that thinks any of this is normal or a good thing at allebandit said:i will start by saying SORRY!Salvarani said:Where to even begin...![]()
sorry! for scoffing at members claiming 'track background of Thomas will see him as GT winner'
clearly those members knew more about cycling than myself
who considered 'no way could G EVER come close to winning a GT'
....mission impossible LOL

Good comparison, but what the track cyclist did was at least a couple of magnitude more ridiculous.Libertine Seguros said:
when was Hincapie 2nd in Tour de Suisse, smashed a climb in Paris-Nice with Porte 2015, won GC Paris-Nice, podiumed Tirreno and was as strong as Thomas as a domestique on the climbs? (check Plateau de Beille 2015)Libertine Seguros said:

No, he won a stage and is leading the race, did you not see today’s stage?macbindle said:thehog said:To be fair on Thomas, he had better pedigree than Froome. He won junior Paris-Roubaix. Never thought he’d win a GT though!![]()
He hasn't. He's won a stage.
No, it’s not logic, it pure observation as we know you didn’t watch today stage so we’ll give you a pass. I guess you still think Tom D attacked alone and up hillmacbindle said:Oh right. So Greg Van A has also won a GT by your logic :lol:
According to you getting a yellow jersey is winning a GT.thehog said:To be fair on Thomas, he had better pedigree than Froome. He won junior Paris-Roubaix. Never thought he’d win a GT though! :cool:
Hincapie was in a break, he got lucky. Sat on Oscar P for an awful long time.zlev11 said:yeah and Hincapie never dropped the entire group of GC climbers either
