hog. As I recall, and I don't care for football much, but as I recall Beckham got wacked in the press in 2000 after euro 2000. Think he swore at the fans or something.

Also had a tough time after his affair with a young lady best known for giving a 5 knuckle shuffle to farm animals.

Yes I remember it well. 3-2 loss to Portugal. The fans turned on him. Said something about his wife. He gave them the finger.

Press thought he was too much of a pretty boy.

England weren't winning. The fans blame Beckham. The press didn't like his lifestyle.

But to be honest. During that period. He was England's best player and the one who worked the hardest on the pitch.

He didn't deserve it.

But he wasn't dominating like he should have been. That was the problem.

Put them in the World Cup finals. Zero to hero. Saved them many times.

A step in the right direction. I wonder if Sky will do the same?

Presumably Walsh will be at le Tour, for most if not all of it. He has that carte blanche for the whole year, not just le Tour.

This caught my eye.

“We want to provide our fans with an inside look at the daily routine of the team before and during the Tour in France. The NOS is the best candidate to provide an objective picture and Blanco will open the doors to them and provide the camera crew full access so that they can get their story.”

NOS will also film and air an in-depth report on Robert Gesink and Bauke Mollema prior to the race.

Be interesting to see the methods of Blanco compared to marginal gains.

Will they warm down?

David Walsh is already embedded with the team

No he's not.

He is staying in the same hotel "at times" with Sky.

He's not there now or in the last two weeks.

He certainly won't have a camera crew at the Tour.

C'mon Matt. Do better. Try harder. Marginal krap don't work.

My mistake I apologise.

Wont be hard to hide anything from Walsh during the TdF. It is not like they do a BB every 5th day. Most of the 'marignal gains' are done in training.

I guess you are right if you are sort of person who falls for team PR.

 

[ANCrider]

That's not a tactic. It's being a million miles better than everyone. Absolutely no other team when they hit the front drops 90% of the peloton but none of their own riders.
.

Don't know what races you've been watching but I've yet to see Sky ride a race with all 9 riders cross the finishing line together having dropped the rest of the peloton

 

[BYOP88]

They don't need to do it with 9 men, Kiryienka can do it all.

Non doping related question, shocking I know. But have I missed Siutsou racing this year?

 

[Catwhoorg]

The Mallorca races, Algarve, Paris-Nice, MSR and CI

Light work to date, but I am sure he gets stronger by the week.

Whoa she isn't doing Sky's pr any favours. "So you can't get popped for GW501516 yet, can you? CAN YOU?" Though clearly that's not what she meant.

What did she mean exactly? That was a strange tweet from her, no?

No doubt Brailsford will have her silenced soon.

 

[The Hitch]

May be that she thinks Wiggins doped. Did have an exchange with digger a month or 2 back.

I think the Dawg needs to tell her that he is C3P0 reborn...

 

[will10]

What the hell is Froome's gf putting things like that on twitter for? Jesus. Sky are a f*cking PR disaster. Brailsford should be going mental...

 

[xcleigh]

You should ask her on twitter Is she employed by SKY..not sure you could pin this one on Sky as a Sky PR disaster in this case as surely she's out of their control (if it is a disaster?-Just a rogue T1000 being trigger happy).

 

[Catwhoorg]

Outside of who she is, how is it materially different from someone here asking if someone has been busted for AICAR yet ?

 

[ANCrider]

Wow! She's in on the SKY teamwide doping schedule and knows that SKY are using GF274628. She's read the WADA press release and has freaked and tweeted that message to see if anybody knows whether it is Chris that has been busted.

Yeah.

Or maybe she spends a lot of her day on the web and twitter and is just curious.

No. It couldn't be that simple.

 

[taiwan]

GF375456, liked that

She'd be better posting on here anonymously if she wants to keep up with that news, it sounds bad when you know who her man is.
