Richie Porte - what do we know about him?

[BYOP88]

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

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.

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

He doesn't need to lie - the racing is predictable with or without SRMs. Hit the limit then stay there for the rest of the climb.

Porte's argument is the racing was not predicable because
1. the TV cmaeras interfered with the SRM
2. he and Froome attacked a couple of times, dropping everyone.

 

[observer]

doesnt really matter, if there are 4 or 5 of them up front, only one of them needs the SRM to be working at any given time.

 

[blackcat]

tv cameras interfered with the SRM

 

[Bala Verde]

He's not the sharpest tool is he?

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

Did cameras also interfere with his brainwaves?

If srms don't work due to electric interference, why use them during a race?

Roid rage lol

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 very common event to shorten or use someone's last name and add "ie or y" to the end of it. Esp when you have multiple Johns or Chris' in the peer group.

It's a term of endearment. I really don't think Porte will ride for Wiggins over Froome.

 

[Fearless Greg Lemond]

Portie is only saying the SRM's couldnt be read by the DS in the car due to the TV cameras [ in fact, it was due to the horrendous wheather, if true ], which is complete BS. That DS then couldnt give Froomie the 'GO GO GO signal' on his bike's SRM.

So Portie actually proves the point of the boredom here.

No way in hell their SRM's on the bike were not working, or were there more tv camera's in Romandie than in the Tour, the Giro?

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)

Anyway the SRM thing is the same BS we've heard before.

Note to Portie: an attack doesn't make racing unpredictable when the attack and its result is predictable.

Floey, it is more of an Australian thing in my experience (And it is just being friendly).

It's very uncouth.

I much prefer when the Dawg calls Wiggins "Bradley".

Porte is bringing down team Sky to his Colonial ways.

Sir Dave needs to send Richie to finishing school. Get that boy an education.

 

[Cyivel]

Yeah look mate.

You can get it jumpin'
You can get it pumpin'
You can get it pressin' a suit

A hard earned thirst needs a big cold beer
And the best cold beer is VIC
A LONG COLD VIC

You can get it liftin'
You can get it shiftin'
You can get it any old how

Matter o' fact, I got it now
VICTORIA BITTER!

It's odd that a guy who on form could win GTs and one day races wants to stay at Sky.

Why?

He's thick me believes.
