Re: Re:
Cav wants the knighthood, and the Olympic gold medal. Is next year Rio or Sao Paulo or Brazilia?
they dont want him on the team pursuit, but I could see Cav going full *** and slinging the selectors 1million GBP bribe. It would be worth that to him, and should get him a knighthood too.
And the Australians will be no match for the brits in the TP.
I also think the CdA of one rider, is not that bad in a TP if you have 3 other big riders. 3 other riders like Peter Kennaugh, yes, would be a problem.
But Wiggo, Clancy, Thomas (not big, but not small, and anyway, he has left the boards, Steve Burke, I still think they need one more guy like G to go 4'50". since thomas not coming back to track. G would get Wiggins, Clancy, Thomas to 4'50" and show the Australians a clean pair of wheels. no way they would threaten the mother country.
back on topic, yeah, Richie, will give up, and look to 2016 with GreenEdge. soft

In my search before posting that, I was surprised to learn Porte had been a competitive swimmer. Seemed to smack of helpful coincidence given Kerrison's background.

Re:
Flecha in post-race saying he thinks Porte may think about DNSing tomorrow. Would be disappointing, he could feasibly get something from this race yet. He's 10 mins down now, might even be able to escape for a stage next week with Contador no longer needing to mark him and Tinkoff needing to counter Astana's strength in numbers.
2013 when they made both Urán AND Henao drop back to guide Wiggins was worse though.Fearless Greg Lemond said:

Re:
back to the basics: start with the Badzilla - there are no champions without one (Uniballer's cancer, Dirtie's head... even Wiggo was at least drinking)

What I know about Richie. Is If i'm a DS or Team Owner. I'm not giving him big $ to be my Team #1. For my GT bids. I would rather develop/find my own rider. Ex: Majka, Alliphalipe, Yates, Formolo, Attipuma.
He has shown great form in 1 week races. But he will want to be paid as a GT podium rider. And to me that is a big tab for a huge question mark. Little Richie could DN's tomorrow. And beg Brailsford to let him skip the Le Tour. And gun for La Vuelta. If I'm DB and I know I'm not going to resign him anywhere near what he is going to ask for. I say NO. To the Tour you go. Dom for Froome.
If Yates and Orica give him BIG $. They will be hurting there own program.
IMHO. Could not happen to a "nicer" guy. And if I'm AC and Lil' Richie jumps for a stage win in say the last 3k. I cover it and BURY him. "Not today Richie, Not in my HOUSE!"

Re: Re:
Even Viviani and Snow were faster today. I bet the camper experiment will not find a bis number at the Tour.
Didnt see any taping on Ritchies knee so it must be a mental thing, not suited for the job. A proper Ritchie should be faster than Conti in a TT 9 out o 10 times and certainly not four minutes down.
Yeah, that was even more famous, Henao is still suffering I think.Libertine Seguros said:
