@DavidWalshST I love ya DW but if there were cynical laughs in the press room when LA went away then they must be pissing themselves today.

David Walsh @DavidWalshST
@seanwardall Sean, the situation at the Altrad Stadium Salle de Presse in Montpellier is exactly the opposite to what you surmise.

Either ASO have only let skybots have press accreditation or Walsh is lying!

Walsh alone in the press room once again? Everyone is laughing bar him?

Re: Re:

@ianrobo1 @Digger_forum Indeed. The reason I even started to look at performances was Walsh told me it was useful: http://sportsscientists.com/2014/07/the-2014-tour-performance-implications-a-reflection-on-the-origins/ …

So either this:

In June 2009, I was privileged to spend a few days with journalist David Walsh (he of Armstrong-takedown fame, a man who pursued Armstrong despite being shunned, sued and slated from every direction), here in Cape Town. He gave me his copy of this book (see picture above), loosely translated “Can you win the Tour?“, written by @festinaboy and Frederic Portoleau, which documented the power output of the top riders during the mountain climbs of the Tour de France.
(http://sportsscientists.com/2014/07/the-2014-tour-performance-implications-a-reflection-on-the-origins/)

Or this:

In an often heated exchange with host Ger Gilroy, Walsh claimed he “wouldn’t have a clue about power wattage” when pressed as to why a number of sports physiologists such as Ross Tucker claim that Chris Froome’s race leading efforts are — from a performance data point of view — equivalent to those produced by known dopers.
(http://www.the42.ie/david-walsh-chris-froome-off-the-ball-2231234-Jul2015/)

Is ******.

Someone not blocked by Walsh, should, posing as a friend on Twitter, ask him how he reconciles the 2

Shockingly bad journalism. Even the Italian press of old would be emberrassed.

Couldn't be any further up Froome's anus. He's pitched a tent up in there, brought out the marshmallows and got cozy.

Think your making the most out of that, not like he said Froome is the equivalent to god, who is unbeatable

Walsh, Sky's official Fluffer!

Be interesting to see this talk with Walsh and Radcliffe.

Walsh will be in "I'm paid by the Times, write books for a Sky & Radcliffe, so will pretend everything is cleans to collect a pay cheque" mode, don't worry.

Story in this week's Private Eye abt Times looking to get more cash out of readers by eg organising cruises where Times writers would be the star attraction. The writer named? Walsh.

I dont think Walsh was a producer on The Program.

But funny that he has become Pravda's gimp.

I would agree. In saying that, what about sailing the high seas with Walsh, with him telling stories about butterfly's and sandshoes?!

What fun that would be with the blue rinse brigade!

 

[Bannockburn]

Considering the fact Walsh blocks almost anyone who asks him a question on twitter, what's he going to do if someone on the cruise presses him a bit on his Sky bag toting, throw them over the rail?

At this point, the man is nothing short of amazing.

I don't think retirees in their 70s on a cruise ship would be asking Walsh, "David Dear, what about that Landa fellow? didn't you say you didn't believe in him at Astana and now he rides for Sky? Didn't he have some stomach issue at that Italian Tour race? The Giro, bad blood bag perhaps for the young lad?"

I imagine the words 'The Program' will be used a lot, just dropped causally into conversation about how they MADE A FILM ABOUT ME. Or maybe its box office failure is a source of such shame he'll pretend it didn't exist...?

Someone clinical definitely needs to go on one of these cruises, if they ever happen. Which they probably won't. Volunteers?

You're ruining my fantasy here...

 

[Benotti69]

I bet Walsh is willingly going on a cruise, to sell more signed copies of his books! Double bubble.
