Is Walsh on the Sky bandwagon?

[del1962]

I'm sure hes enjoying it alright, but this is on Walsh. O'Reilly isn't telling lies here. Shes telling it how it is. So this is on Walsh, no one else.

Enjoying it, I am sure Lance is

The question is, is Lance manipulating Emma though, I think Lance hates Walsh more than anyone, which is why Lance is constantly trying to denigrate Walsh and get others to do it for him.

 

[jens_attacks]

walsh is denigrating himself lol. lance hasn't anything to do

Remember this interwiev:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RO_XgCLpzoA

DW: She (Emma) gave me this extraoridinary interwiev, as a journalist of course this is my christmas..
Definetely in my life this was going to be the most revealing interwiev I would ever get..

Interwiever: Was it an obsession with you, or journalistic diligence?

DW: Both maybe....I mean... I mean.. (laughs) Yes it was an obsession....


The opposite obsession with Froome i gueess..
Certainly not journalistic diligence..
Really not his thing... As he also admits

 

[Dear Wiggo]

Froome is nearly the same age as the son david walsh lost to cycling.

By which I mean: it's not uncommon for someone who has lost a child (or not) to develop a bond with someone years later, who would be (or is) around the same age. I've experienced it first-hand.

If this is offensive, then it is unintentional.

 

[mewmewmew13]

Perhaps Armstrong is using Emma to get back at Walsh

Pretty sure Lance uses everyone who can help him with something he wants..
I am thinking of more than just Emma...
the guy has no shame.

 

[Benotti69]

The TdF is in the UK and what is Walsh writing about on TdF Uk Weekend?

UK Sport funding!!!

I think Walsh has taken 1 foot off the Sky bandwagon.

 

[The Hitch]

Froome yesterday again showed extreme tactical weakness.

It's shocking to me how Walsh could write that froome started to destroy everyone like some terminator, because he learned tactics. That is clearly a lie. There is no record whatsoever of froome trying to get into breaks every day in his early career. And he's still a joke tactically.

 

[gooner]

She was paid after the fact in order to help cover her legal bills.

Emma and Lance always had a close relationship. While Lance likely has an agenda Emma is probably just happy to have the past behind her and back in contact with an old friend.

As she is in the forgiveness mode I wonder if she is friends with Johan again?

They met up in January of this year. He apologised to her. She didn't say they were friends or anything like that about it.

I don't think they were ever friends back in the day, judging by the book. Even outside of a doping perspective, Bruyneel comes off terribly in it with his treatment of her when she was working in the team.

I am mostly looking forward to see how Baghdad Walsh will react when both Contador and Froome climb faster than Lance at the same time.

 

[meat puppet]

^ well that's a no brainer. as brailsford explained, thanks to evolution clean riders will one day surpass chargers. that day is today.

David Walsh @DavidWalshST

@nickymorland Nicky, simple answer, much cleaner than before but not yet
clean. In LA years minority were clean. Now dopers are minority.

Walsh really is a moron.

 

[thehog]

Walsh really is a moron.

Because he knows. He's interviewed all the teams an dopers so he knows.

 

[Cycle Chic]

Walsh's Twitter July 6th..

Would have picked Froome to win before start but unsure if fully recovered from Dauphine. But he's been good.

think he knew something we didnt.

and 3 hours ago..

Tour's fourth day in France, skies are a lighter shade of grey this morning. Marginal gains! Oh for the blue skies of Yorkshire.

Walsh being sarcastic ?

@benatom1 The question, for me, Tom is whether you believe he's now clean.

Of course Walsh is now starting to have doubts about Contador. Who could have guessed.

 

[del1962]

Of course Walsh is now starting to have doubts about Contador. Who could have guessed.

So you expect Walsh to pronounce someone who ha come back from a doping ban and former Bruyneel prodigy to proclaim them as clean, he prefers to keep his own counsel

 

[LaFlorecita]

Of course Walsh is now starting to have doubts about Contador. Who could have guessed.

When Contador and Nibali climb faster than dopers I'm sure Walsh will talk of "recidivism"

I know this will happen.. He doesnt have to pretend he thinks they are clean anymore now.

No. Walsh is being called out on the standards he used for others and ignoring those same standards when it is Sky.

In 2007 he called Contador a doper. Why? Because how fast he was climbing....but when Froome climbed faster than epo users Walsh ignored this.

But you know all this and continue to obfuscate any and all sky related threads

Agree. Walsh is probably seeing that he won't be able to write a book this year! and is nervous. I guess he has the Armstrong movie promotional circuit to attend.

Porte although a little simple won't he releasing "The Climb II". Just ride his bike. That's all that is required.

 

[SeriousSam]

Walsh was probably dying to let everyone know he thinks Contador is suspicious but it just wasn't right to do so when clean Froomey was dropping him like a bad habit at every climb.

Now Froomey is out of the picture we can go back to questioning whether we can believe those performance. Can a clean rider really come close to Armstrong? Is Contador really clean? Is this a credible potential winner?

Contador was embroiled in Fuentes scabdal, Rasmussen had already missed doping tests at the time that would have influenced him.

 

[hrotha]

Contador was embroiled in Fuentes scabdal, Rasmussen had already missed doping tests at the time that would have influenced him.

And yet, as you know, that's not what Walsh used publicly as his rationale.

 

[Benotti69]

Contador linked to a doping doctor, just like Sky?

Ooh all the sky fans think that is not proof!!!!
