So every race is now some Sky rider(s) breaking away from the field for an eventual solo. This must be what it was like back when Gewiss(?) was rampaging. It's getting harder and harder to give a s***.
Re: Re:
Doping or not, I do agree that Wiggo can come across as a ***

Jimmy dont you like Wiggins being called a c***. Not because he dopes is he a c***, I thought you had enough cop on to suss that.
GT has not shown he is a c***, plenty of time to though. Give him time, he might come good.....

Team Sky rules and it seems to hurt the 24/7 clinic bots, which makes the success of Team Sky even more enjoyable. Greetings from Finland mates
Re:
No its not, Gewiss had 3 in top 3, like QS the other day. Sky haven't managed that yet.

Re:
I can't imagine a rider having a less dramatic transformation.
He won the Junior Paris Roubaix in 2004.

The Hitch is right. There are many reasons to suspect Sky (in particular Froome) of doping, but some postings are just stupid.
Unless your being sarcastic in which case Whoosh!

Re:
It's not like he beat out a Cancellara or Boonen mono-e-mono. Vanmarcke had tech problems, Sagan isn't super-sagan. Stybar is savvy but just not as good.
That being said, he had a lot left in the tank.
I wish we could see him go alien with Boonen and Canc though. The show he put on at PN with Porte was something else.
I expect another 50k solo ftw.

Btw, what's the drug which has the mysterious power of (literally) overnight transformation? Why only Team Sky riders can afford it?
yes yes, weak field, everyone missed their peaks, brits would never dope, spanish people have no morals etc etc
Re: Re:
Are you actually suggesting that Thomas isn't much better this year than he was last year?

Haha hilarious when a Sky wins and it throws this forum into apoplexy. Two pro-conti riders win a semi-classic and not even a murmur. Yet we are supposed to take you seriously. Thomas, what a cheating c*** he is, having the temerity to win a race.
Re:
Yes, no one takes the clinic seriously, it's all a bunch of conspiracy theories and jeaous brit haters.
So why do you bother coming to this forum? I don't get it.

Thomas is like a mini-Merckx this spring. He is thrashing on all terrains from Paris-Nice to Milan-San Remo and now Belgium.
Re: Re:
Glad you acknowledge it. It's some morbid fanscination I suppose, always entertaining to come in here and watch the reaction to a Sky win, in complete contrast to when anyone else does. Oh unless it Stannard, he gets a clinic pass.

Re: Re:
are you suggesting that a rider moving from 3rd one year to 1st the next, in the same race is much better?

Re:
This is what makes GT suspicioius to me at the moment. He's been making incremental progress year-by-year both climbing and in the classics, and so that in itself is not as surprising to me. What is surprising is that someone that is capable of staying with richie porte on a mountain-top finish (the same richie porte who is in good enough form to drop arguably the best climber of his generation) is also capable of dropping all of the big classics riders (except stybar and sagan and the injured boonen and cancellara) only a few short weeks later. It's not that surprising or suspicious that he is climbing well in a one-week race or doing well in the classics, it's surprising and suspicious that he's doing both of them so well at the same time

Re: Re:
Makes me laugh too.
Perform all year - must be doping.
Have variable performances - must be doping.
Pull out because ill - must be doping.
Have a bad day - must the doping wearing off.
