Team Ineos (Formerly the Sky thread)

Fantastic to finally see a clean Bertie riding today in Tirreno. Also, Evans impressive in that regard. Keep up the good work.

I lolled......

Good seeing Uran doing all the work and then coming in a few seconds behind!

Sky could field two teams in the Tour!

Because Uran isn't an elite climber of course

11 seconds on a MTF? So not 3 minutes in the last k. I watched it: Contador's attacked slowed, he attacked from the group a few yards behind, sling-shotted past the slowing group and maintained that over the last 500 metres. Well-timed....

Actually there's little point saying all that. But he didn't go from very far out, and he didn't put much time into everyone else. But carry on with the frothing at the mouth

You're right, it was completely legit. Move along everyone.

Evans is pretty much finished.

I think the other teams are going to have to start working together. If Nibali and Contador had worked together they might have been able to maintain the lead they had created.

How about Cataldo? When did he ever climb like that before? Joke.

 

[brilleaben]

Sky are heroes of clean cycling. They show that training and fitness are now the most important elements to perfect your chances. Unlike a guy like Riis who has always been used to rely on juice to make his team reach potential. Also, Santambrogio....

So glad you agree

 

[mastersracer]

so, 6 seconds over a former winner of Tre Valli Varesine is now a sign of obvious doping?

Again, that was not someone from the clinic, that was the commentary.

The only one frothing at the mouth seems to be you, as you clearly do not accept that people say something averse to your team.

Jimmy, I know you are a fan, but I said it many times before. Faith versus facts. That you even try to attribute a report as frothing at the mouth is just sad.

 

[JimmyFingers]

Pretty sure he has a few KOMs on Strava....

 

[uphillstruggle]

Again, the consequences seem mild. The only one wrecked is Lance.

I would wager that Lance dies a very rich man. That's what most of the dopers care about - getting rich.

Contador was dead

My god there are people who are still defending them? Are you the same people who listen to Nickelback?

Jimmy why do you even come to this forum? Im sure there are plenty of sky friendly forums out there with guys like Joachim as moderators, so you wont have to hear anything about doping.

Actually Santambrogio is as big a joke as anyone, unless you seriously think he's a stalwart of clean cycling?

The frothing wasn't directed at you so much, more the general flood of comments. And the 3 min comment was from Hoggo, not the commentary, and I haven't read a report, just watched the live stream, which was in Italian.

Perhaps you needed a few more facts?

 

[Bavarianrider]

Cataldo, seriously

 

[hfer07]

So now the "template" isn't only for the "A" team...... I mean....... yesterday was Porte-today is Froome-with the exact approach: choke everyone until the last K when the "marginal gains" will come on & trash the opposition.....

I'm with Basso: gotta laugh at this....

 

[Parrot23]

Last year's Vuelta, duh?

Evans was greatly impressed by Santambrogio at BMC; always talking about him for some reason. Nor sure why.

I think you may be misunderstanding me

And surely even this forum needs some dialogue

 

[goggalor]

Even Rogers has lost his magical 450w

Yeah, what's up with that? I don't get why he doesn't just take Alberto on his wheel and dial in at 450 up the last climb, then Froome wouldn't be able to attack.

Weather forecast in May and July (and every other month):

Anyone who believes in this ridiculous circus show are past help. I feel sorry for them like the Lance fans. It is completely ruining the sport. The sooner they pop the better.

So you thought that was the vision of clean cycling?

Good. Cycling is in safe hands. They currently have 18 guys in two countries destroying the opposition.

At one point in Terreno with 7km to go the Sky just about dropped the entire field!

Not normal.

But I'm sure there's a good reason for their total dominance. Plausible.

Beetleroot juice, I am sure they drink a lot of it......
