Team Ineos (Formerly the Sky thread)

[Bala Verde]

No, the rest of the peloton is sick, not dedicated.

They have less money.

Money makes Porte ride faster.

If only JV had such a budget, Thomas Dekker would be killing it.

 

[Aguirre]

again, not normal

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

The british due on Eurosport (not Kelly) is an idiot.

 

[Parrulo]

completely ridiculous!!!!!

he destroyed everyone. . . and the way harmon is enjoying himself commentating this is sickening

 

[the sceptic]

lol. He even took it slow there towards the finish. Didnt want to beat Lord Wiggos time from last year i guess.

 

[il_cobra]

after all, who will become sky's ty hamilton?

 

[Ferminal]

Shock horror, guy who solos to win on the MTF also wins the MTT.

 

[will10]

Porte in March 2013 near enough as quick as Wiggins in March 2012. Roll on July.

Hilarious - Harmoron even questioning the time checks

Antoine Vayer says Peraud is the benchmark for a clean performance - Porte, and Sky, just taking the **** really

Sky could do a 1-2-3 in the tour this year if they want to. Or maybe they will save Porte for the vuelta. Either way, its gonna be a long year.

This years course is 100m longer....

Both performances were laughable, but the ITT was just hilarious.

actually the course this year was 100 meters longer so he was fast then wiggins

 

[cineteq]

This years course is 100m longer....

Conditions didn't seem as good as last year's either.

 

[will10]

Where was the extra 100m? At the start or the finish?

Conditions didn't seem as good as last year's either.

Yep, thought that myself.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

At this rate, the only way a non-Sky rider finishes higher than 10th at the Tour is if all 9 Skyborgs don't make it.

 

[Cyivel]

Wiggins had to go all out last year to ensure he won the race in the ITT, Porte didn't in the last part, better ride by Porte, he is looking good.

 

[thehog]

Both performances were laughable, but the ITT was just hilarious.

The only thing you can do is laugh.... the soft pedaling in the last KM was very obvious.

Yes it was amazing. Even my mother was laughing lol!

The profiles on the ASO site for the TTs from 2012 and 2013 are identical as far as I can tell. Both 9.6km starting and finishing at the same heights. Where did you guys hear the course was longer this year?

 

[maltiv]

Woah, I predicted that Sky would go easy on the juice this year. Looks like I couldn't have been more wrong.

Instead they seem to have gone full ***.

Hilarious - Harmoron even questioning the time checks

Wasn't it Kelly that asked if it was right?

Whatever's happening - whether they're doping at a different level, or simply training at a higher level, or have superior tech - the gulf in performance is so vast, I'm done.

Sky have sucked the fun out of stage racing.

Contador is the only one who has a chance, but that's only if he's way behind Froome in his condition right now. Otherwise, he's fodder for them, too.

I'll watch the classics, watch the Tour, come back for the Worlds... but the rest is now just a joke.

On the big profile this year says it started 32m not 36m, probably just an error.

Oh right, who could forget the fairy tales of Peraud being capable of producing 6.5 w/kg.

He obviously should have trounced Porte today if that was true.

 

[Benotti69]

You know things are very wrong when Sean Kelly is questioning the time gaps!!!
