Seems little Richie needs some anger management classes. Maybe there is yardage in that 'Napoleon complex' thing.

Dear Wiggo said:Wurf said - some races are really hard, due to the constant attacking and surging, then there's the races where the GC Sky team are there, and you just look at your SRM and know what to expect.
ie they are going to hit the limit then just sit there, for the rest of the climb.
Why the friggin feck would Wurf lie about that?
No reason.
richard_91 said:On the other hand though, why would Porte lie about not being able to read the SRM monitor?
Pretty tick for tack, maybe just a sign of him getting frustrated at being called boring

But what's he talking about here? It's literally makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

Btw wasn't Richieborg rambling about this a while back as well? And why the hell does he call Froome Froomie all the time? Skyborgs don't have first names? Perhaps we should call Richieborg Portie.

It's a term of endearment. I really don't think Porte will ride for Wiggins over Froome.
Floey, it is more of an Australian thing in my experience (And it is just being friendly).LaFlorecita said:It must be a british thing. It sounds weird to me and not like a term of endearment at all. It sounds like he's talking about his dog D)
