Team Ineos (Formerly the Sky thread)

In all fairness, Greipel is quite the talent. I am sure that Sky could make him a GT contender.

Bassons thoughts on team doping. Even the Clinic did not accept the concept of team doping now but Bassons thinks otherwise:

http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/bassons-rejects-jalaberts-epo-defence

Maybe he knows something that we don't know.

“Unfortunately, when you see the physiology of certain riders who are going to start this year’s Tour de France, you have to ask yourself questions. There are still doping problems in cycling. There’s organised doping in some teams, in my opinion. There are a lot of individuals also who are doping. I would like that someone finally came up with a report on the real health of French cycling.”

Enough said.

bassons and moncoutie lend credibility to the extremist pov of The Clinic

 

[the sceptic]

Im sure the skybots will be here soon to question Bassons credibility

Indeed.

"Bassons skipped a test, remember! You can't trust a proven liar!"

Perhaps he is talking about sky, perhaps he is talking about someone else, and you are missing something.

Yes I'm sure he's talking about another team. Probably Ag2r with their rash of positive tests

Yes who would be interested in any other team than sky. Of course hes talking about sky. What other teams are that interesting anyway?

 

[ToreBear]

But Hoggy.
I just thought up an interesting scenario. If Wiggins becomes a sir after winning 1 Tour. What's Froome going to become after winning 7?

He is a kenian born...

 

[Pentacycle]

Sky could be on Bassons' mind, but what about Europcar?

His last sentence clearly implies French cycling's far from clean.

My guess is the chauffeur job driving the queen around town.

Maybe he is talking about Hushovd after his recent weight loss. No wait,he isnt riding the tour

 

[webbie146]

The Sky boys better be clean for this TdF. Not good, when the boss man is pi$$ing off those whom can make one test positive.

Who is ****ing of who?

I thought about it too. Maybe as a Team organized doping I tend to lean towards Sky because of those infamous trains.

 

[martinvickers]

Wiggo was Belgian born, makes not a button of difference

see also Sir Cliff Richard, Sir Clement Freud, Sir Terry wogan, etc, etc, etc

 

[Benotti69]

Who is ****ing of who?

Cookson head of Brit Cycling is ****ing off McQuaid head of UCI who can magically pull positives out of his ***. He can also make them disappear up there allegedly.

Why exactly? He makes no mention of the team.

 

[SundayRider]

Why exactly? He makes no mention of the team.

There was definitely an indirect implication though.

 

[JimmyFingers]

There was definitely an indirect implication though.

There really isn't, just a general reference to the modern peloton and the need to still be vigilant. But then to many here everything is a reference to Sky. Perhaps take off the blue and black glasses....

Unless he did it in some pig latin or patois I'm unfamiliar with. Or perhaps he was communicating telekinetically.

Guys new marginal gains!!1! --> New aero helmet http://www.teamsky.com/article/0,27290,17545_8794102,00.html

I expect a sub 38 min Alpe d'Huez with this marginal gain, maybe even challenge Iban Mayo's record on the Ventoux now.

 

[JimmyFingers]

Yes, because aero helmets make all the difference when climbing

 

[JimmyFingers]

Sorry, but that's effing lame, what the hell does a helmet have to do with doping? It doesn't, just an excuse to come here and make an incredibly unoriginal joke. Wow.

Haha next time I will try harder to please u
