Re:

So Wout Poels has morphed into Froome. He now does the stem staring and manic leg spinnning while seated - even out climbing Contador who was out of the saddle on stage 6.

lets be fair here, that's to hard to do nowadays

Re: Sky

Just bumping this thread for cheekiness, and for Sky domestiques besting the world time-trial champion in the opening stage of TDF 2017, and for Moscon. Moscon alone is worthy of a bump.

Moscan's 6 weeks off for being racist turned him into a GT rider

Moscon ffs

Re:

SKY's new climbing sensation.... must have received a new fresh fluffy pillow...

 

[Breh]

At what point is he going to challenge for GT's?

He was 5th in Paris Roubaix this year so it seems like a natural transition to drop top climbers now.

I think you'll find it was the six weeks he took off for being a racist helped find a new spirituality and explore his inner self, finding a power that he never thought possible.

Re:

Yeah, i'm used to ridiculous performances from sky riders, but this is worse than ever, a guy with the build of a northern classic rider, on the eleventh day of his first GT closing the gap to Nibali in the mountain, that's even more ridiculous than cancellara and voigt during the 2008 tour, didn't think it was possible but they never cease to amaze me...

This is some of your better work, hog. I'm correcting the typo and using this as a new sig for a while.

It made me think of Hincapie on Courchevel in 2005, except I don't recall Hincapie chasing down and controlling the attacks of multiple GT winners.

Moscon is making Thomas in the 2015 Tour look clean :lol:

Yeah, thats all part of the plan and completely logical.

Remember DB said recently his new magic trick is turn criticism into success on the road.

He found a way of channeling the fury to fuel performance enhancement.

DB can turn everythig into more marginal gains.

Brailsford is the best ever.

I had it on today while at work and kept on doing a double take when they had just about their entire squad at the front as things went up towards the end. It almost seems like they want to show off that they're cheating. You just can't have that many riders at that level on those hills.

 

[ontheroad]

Nieve, Moscon, Kwiatowski, Landa, Kennaugh, Thomas, Poels, Henao. Has there ever been a team of dom's as strong as these. Nieve, Landa, Kwiatowski and Moscon in particular have shown unbelievable form to grind out km after km at the front up the climbs in recent GTs.

Certainly looks that way. Like in 2004 when Landis told Bruyneel they should back off a little because it was looking to easy.

Don't go to the BikeRadar forum then, they're saying that his Paris-Roubaix form is an indicator :lol:

 

[jilbiker]

It is phenomenal. He talks regular joe bikers and convert them to 400W churning machines. What is the secret?? Its not normal. Same way British cycling from no where started breaking records, we know it wasn't normal.As a sport we have to come together and decide how we can get back to a normal sport, dunno about clean...thats a joke in all sport. I look at the physique of a lot athletes these days and I know artificial induced muscles when i see it.

But Sky is probably not juice alone but some mechanical dope.

yes, Moscon corresponds to that description.
cheers

From the live report of today's stage:

AG2R La Mondiale riders Alexandre Geniez and Nico Denz were sent home from the Vuelta by their team on the rest day after footage emerged showing them holding onto a team car on Sunday's stage. Today's edition of L'Equipe reports that the video was captured by Team Sky, though the team has declined to comment.

Sky making friends

Has Poels ever shown this level of time trialing?

 

[Cycle Chic]

David Millar on itv4 said 'Moscon has become a climber in this race'

IN THIS RACE ??!! as if you can turn it off and on at ease and will.

Re:

2010 at Suisse, 2014 at the Giro and on a few other occasions
