Now, most of teams has copied most of his things, so there is not advantage, as well as some of his big names are now in other teams: Rigo, Rogers, Gerrans, Downset, Cavendish, EBH, (Wiggins?), but they keep some very strong riders as Froome, Porte, Thomas, Stannard or Kennaught, and they got Nieve, Koning, Dombroski, as well, riders that showed before a big perform..
Buit anyway they have never been the best team of the year, as Movistar, nor in WT, not in CQR,...and GB has never been one of the best countries.
They were in 2008:15 th countrie (cqr), and for then on: 10,9 (team sky start), 7, 6, 6, 8.
Spain has just one team in WT. They use to be one the best teams and Spain the best countrie.
GB has just one team in WT: they use to be as well one of the best, but anyway in 2014 7th team. and GB 6-8 countrie.
SKy has more money than Movistar.. conspiracy with SKY? has sense? They should have better result.. maybe we in Spain are a superior race or our marvellous food and hight medium altitude do miracles. Maybe.
The only thing with SKy is that some people cant understand that Wiggins had a good capacity for climbing and three weeks, but he was in the track, and at the same time start the rise of Froome,who was promising in 2008 but next too years he dont confirm his progression, but as I writted, has an explanation. Without that nobody talked of SKY in a conspiracy mode, becouse there is not reason, but they are going to pay that maybe forever for a lot ot people.

Ofc, as Porte would say "We were the first with the ABP, now even animals do it"
