Team Ineos (Formerly the Sky thread)

[samerics]

this.
most come to the clinic to discuss doping, some only show indignation about others discussing doping.
whenever a Skythread gets bumped, the Skybots go in full indignation mode.

I'm not a Skybot, I'm not indignant, I just find it comical that the same people trot the same rubbish out every week! Enjoy your cycling, look at the big picture. Wiggins hasn't had a great season, but he's clearly focussing against the clock, the course was hilly, he's skinny,he beat a below par Martin. He must be doped to the eyeballs then! Lol!

thanks for proving my point.
wiggins' excellent performance can be and is indeed being discussed in non-doping terms in many other parts of this forum. try it, you'll love it.

 

[samerics]

If its a discussion of a clean performance then why is it in this thread on the clinic? The implication couldn't be any clearer...

Contador wins, his fans accept he's doping and are fans anyway,

Wiggins wins, the Sky fans go into Simple Jack mode.

That's the difference - if Sky fans accepted that 'wiggins is doping but I am a fan anyway' this thread would be almost non existent.

so hundreds of Sky thread pages JUST because people want the Sky fans to be saved and understand that their favourite riders dope as much as the others?
wow

I have no problem with Wiggo doping and winning. I was sooo glad he won yesterday beating Martin.
the problem is if Martin won (doped as Wiggo) we wouldn't have heard an uproar on the internets about that.

it all comes down to being a fan and supporting this or that rider.


@BYOP88
The only good thing about Wiggins winning today must mean that Tony Martin is clean and therefore if he's clean so are the rest of OPQS

why is that a problem?

sorry, I rephrase. "the difference"

If Martin won I would've been unhappy. but without writing anything about clean or dirty etc etc.

maybe I am an anormal Sky fan

I must be a sockpuppet too......I agree with laurel......

[Don't be late Pedro]

I'm failing to see all these people claiming Wiggins is riding clean, certainly since yesterday. Can anybody direct me to all these posts by the 'Skybots'.

This. You can even just read back a few pages to verify it.

 

[Benotti69]

Except that, within seconds of Wiggins winning, it isn't the Skybots posting to the thread. The bots may argue, but generally as a response to others. Check the times the Sky thread has lain dormant, the resurrection posts are again generally not done by the bots.

oh dear, cycling fans calling a rider a doper! outrageous, especially as the rider in question called fans boneidle ****ers and ****s, but hey dont let that get in the way of it, never mind the guy has had a ****poor season compared to T Martin but then up pops Wiggins to win the worlds TTs when he couldn't get near the podium in his peak pursuit times, but now a little ToB and bang a world TT title.

You see fairly clueless in how peaking and performance work in sport.

Let me explain (though I am probably wasting my time), Tony Martin comes into the worlds off a hard season in which by his own admission he is tired, Wiggo after a light middle season of racing is in his peak condition for perhaps the one race he really cares about.

Clueless? I am clueless and you think Wiggins is clean. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[del1962]

I was right, wasting my time

 

[Benotti69]

Yes you are defending the obvious doping of Wiggins.

 

[del1962]

Yes you are defending the obvious doping of Wiggins.

I am making no claims in my posts either way, just showing how little you know about sports performance, which is understandable as the other day you claimed that they knew it all in Coppi's day.

Well done for making yourself look incredibly ignorant, I will stop wasting my time now.

Fantastic trolling by Wiggins, what a brilliant ride. Of course Tony Martin is the only rider who can ever win an ITT, from here until eternity. Love that Wiggins is wearing the rainbow hoops. Hilarious for the pointless, puerile place

 

[the sceptic]

I knew Wiggins winning would have the bots crawl out from under their rocks.

I thought as a 'true fan of cycling' © that Wiggins cared about all the great races.

Just a quick one for you del if it was the other way round and Martin had done a 'light middle season' and beaten Wiggins would that be sweet in your world?

He can't wear them in Paris-Roubaix and I don't think team Cound will allow him to ride any races with a ITT in next year

What bots? This place isn't anti-doping, it's just nasty cycling fans taking potshots at each other. The worse kind of fans, like you. Which is why I don't bother with the place anymore, apart from to come and laugh at you. So happy for Wiggins.

Well I wouldnt say its very anti doping of you to celebrate Wiggins win either.

If you really cared perhaps you would answer some of the questions around Wiggins, but you chose to whine instead.

But of course you are just here to take potshots now.

I thought you'd "left" because you didn't have a reply to the post from Libertine S.

Not sure I understand why it would or would not have been sweet with me, do you see me posting negatively about Tony Martin? I am happy that Brad won the ITT but if Martin had won it I wouldn't be ranting about him.

I'm cool with that(I know you can now rest easy )

Firstly that wasn't the point of my post. The point was that it isn't the bots who keep kickstarting life back into the thread.

Secondly has Wiggins really had a p!sspoor season or have his team only entered him into p!sspoor races?
