Is Walsh on the Sky bandwagon?

[pastronef]

Ellingsworth hates Virenque. And now he has to rip out all the photographs of Rogers in his Sky scrapbook.

ahhahahahhhhhahahahaha

ahhahahahhhhhahahahaha

Like a jilted lover who has all her photographs in an album but with her ex-boyfriend's face cut out.

There will be pictures or Wiggo with some guy leading him with no face!

if only they shut up and did not blabber about all those weird details: virenque, team only energy drinks, pillows...

i wonder: do Fran and other guys at team Sky read this forum or some twitters?

Kimmage supposedly told Walsh to not report from the inside with Sky before he did so.

Kimmage told Walsh he wouldn't find anything being inside Sky and instead to do the same he did with Armstrong, stay outside.

He had no problem working with Bobby Julich. Maybe has problems only with French dopers.

It was yourself I remember now saying it from the whistleblowers event. I wasn't sure at first.

Good post, Hog. Laughin'.

Does that mean Kimmage is on the list of bitter anti sky haters along with Stokes and Keys?

Stokes only wants to see more transparency which I agree with. I said up thread I think he's more reserved and undecided. Regarding Kimmage, I only mentioned he wouldn't do what another poster suggested because of what he told Walsh at the start of the year. As for Keys, your detailed responses on the topic in the Sky thread was noted. It says it all about your motives, when you said this in the Rogers thread.

It proves a point I made here in the past.

Why aren't you taking Walsh's article apart? Awfully quiet today.

Maybe because he actually does heavily criticise the team especially in regards to Rogers.

We know Richie Porte has done in the past, as there was an interview where the Clinic was mentioned and how it's hurtful and the interviewer said never to look at the opinions in there.

Benson not on the Walsh Bandwagon?

Pretty funny as usual though, mrconde is actually the best one there.

Is that bad advice, really?

Dear Wiggo, do you still have those excepts from wiggos book on Rogers?

The part where he tells the reader what a good bloke Mick is? And how dedicated he his?

its not worth going out of your way for. The most interesting bits have been referenced here.

 

[SundayRider]

This is what Wiggins said about Rogers in his book- I'm sure there are other bits as well but I just went to the section which he gives an overview of each rider on the 2012 Tour team.

'The tall and studious looking Australian is a triple world time trial champion and he has always been a bit of an idol of mine. In 1997 we raced the Junior Worlds together in South Africa, Mick won the points race, where I came 4th and he was 2nd in the pursuit. Later on that year he was 2nd in the world's junior time trial, so as far back as that, I was thinking 'wow this guy's good'.

There is another two paragraphs or so about how he was road captain at last years Tour and how he is a calming influence, vocal, a great pro, set the tempo on the climbs blah blah but I won't bother typing all that out!

 

[Libertine Seguros]

No, not really.

I was just putting a bit of context to it before people who didn't already know about it, or had forgotten about it, start throwing it about or making posts directed at Richie the same way we get posts directed at Vaughters.

@DavidWalshST I kinda like your Sky book from a fans point of view. But it seems somewhat promotional. Did Brailsford pay you?

Apparently this is insulting.. lol

I wish sir Walsh found this thread, that would be entertaining.

 

[ebandit]

that's entertainment

I wish sir Walsh found this thread, that would be entertaining.

I'm sure he will have seen and would have been most amused...........his

thoughts would probably mirror wiggo...............'all this energy..........if

only posters applied themselves.............'

Julich's a good dude. Anyone who knows him personally was aware that he was not proud of his 1998 3rd place at the Tour. His wife is basically his own "Betsy Andreau."

Virenque, on the other hand, is an arrogant tool. I think that likely has more to do with it than who was the bigger doper in the 1990s.

Virenque cried and confessed all of his doping to the Fench public.

Julich is still lying sbout his doping.

Clean at CSC. Riiiiighhhht.

Julich is pathetic..

And then Dicky went right back into full program. Julich, with all the he was/wasn't doping at CSC debate, still has the 1999-03 window to cast doubt on any unrepentant doper logic. Even looking at Tyler and what he said- doping was accessed by those who sought it out at CSC. They weren't hooking up bloodbags in team buses between stages. Did he dope at CSC? It's possible, but winning PN on tactics when he wasn't the strongest rider in the race and a few TTs (which was always his specialty) is hardly proof of an case closed doper.
