you called bs. I'm giving you the opportunity to test your theory.
Don't worry, you can replace the word b1**h with gimp if its more palatable.

Tragically, I just read the last ten pages. As I write this have no idea what the chuff this thread is about!

Duly noted.

My friend, that is between you and your therapist! ;-)

I'm sure Vickers will come with some sort of rational for playing the victim.

It seems I made an "honest mistake" by reading and interpreting exactly what they wrote.

 

[ToreBear]

Interesting last few pages.
Scrolled past most of the war. Hope you guys can find a room and kiss and makeup.

As for the press conference. The timing of the questions might not have been the best, seeing as it was with the whole team there, but the questions in themselves were perfectly fine. It was perhaps more the situation that was a bit awkward.

But stuff happens, no harm done. The Norwegian media loved it. An interesting story for them.

I don't know if the mistake was honest or not. i'm willing to concede honesty. But a mistake it was...and a reading of the messages makes it absolutely and abundently clear.

You made an assumption. It was wrong. you can vortex-twist all you like, Doc, you were wrong. End. Of.

 

[the sceptic]

Both of you are a$$holes for high jacking this thread to have a pi$$ing contest.

How neither of you has been banned or at the very least warned by an admin is beyond me.

No one cares which one of you is right or wrong, keep it out of the thread.

Skybot tactic #1: pretend you dont care about the clinic or take anything that gets posted here seriously, but at the same time spend countless posts writing 5000 word essays that noone cares about, hoping that someone will bite so the thread can get derailed for hundreds of posts.

Or course Dr Maserati is the perfect poster to get into a posting war with.

You can move a bit closer to Martins position. Even if you don't feel it's right, no one is going to think less of you if you do.

I have no intention of moving closer - I posted the full exchange to finally end it.
The sceptics post is regrettably bang on - and for that, I apologize to other forum users

Ah, First Platoon circular backslappers have arrived, good stuff, Septic.

Bizarrely the Doc isn't usually one of them; he's usually fairer than them, but hell, you can no more pick your allies than your enemies, eh?

Please. As noted you picked Dr. M because you knew he would never give up. You engaged the vortex and derailed the thread. Mission accomplished.

i think he picked me, to be honest.

come on - it's the Sky thread. It 'derailed' years ago.

You guys are both right. You misunderstand each other and love to misinterpret each other. And you both like a good debate.

Now give each other a good

Back on track. Why was it wrong for kimmage to ask that question about EBH?

Gee..that is back on a narrow gauge track.

Back on track. Why was it wrong for kimmage to ask that question about EBH?

Gee..that is back on a narrow gauge track.

My personal view is that the question was fine, the timing was wrong. It felt like a question to intentionally cause upset within the team. It is also a question that first should have been asked of EBH.

It was wrong of Kimmage to ask because:
His personality.
He was only looking for attention.
EBH is nice and shy - don't say he is not progressing.
It is not how good journalists act.
Shameless self promotion.
He is an outcast.

Etc etc

Call BS all you like. How about we discuss this via PM, and if you are proven wrong, the deal is that you come back on here with the following statement "I am andy1234's b***h, and am a very naughty girl"

OK?

You called BS. I'm giving you the opportunity to test your theory.
Don't worry, you can replace the word B1**h with gimp if its more palatable.

I now see why you are attracted to cycling and men who shave their legs and I was thinking becuase you liked to ride a bike like most of us, not be the bike

 

[US Patent Exploding Cyclist]

Asking why Sky have unlocked the potential of unheralded riders, but have not been able to help a "sure thing" win a big one day race is a legit question, doesn't matter who is asking it.

I can't. Graeme rode with hairy legs. You know how I feel about that....

Thanks Zam.

As for some of you (you know who you are): Behave in the future. We all know the consequence if you don't.

It is interesting that Sky can take on an immensely talented rider like EBH and do nothing for him, while at the same time turning a mediocre rider like Froome into the Tour de France favourite. I'm not sure the general public picked up on the doping angle of Kimmage's question though, since I reckon Sky is still generally regarded as a clean team. That might change this Tour if they unleash the Froome Dog on Ventoux or the Alpe.

Hopefully this was a bit of a wake-up call for EBH. Sky is not the team for him.

As for the press conference. The timing of the questions might not have been the best, seeing as it was with the whole team there, but the questions in themselves were perfectly fine. It was perhaps more the situation that was a bit awkward.

I would go with this. The reason people respect Kimmage is that he is willing to ask questions that should be asked but no else seems to. His choice of delivery is not always the best and in fact that sometimes gives the person/people the question is directed at a reason to avoid it.

As for EBH I don't think he has the results in one day races that he was expected to get. The fact that Sagan is now on the scene certainly not going to help his cause. And if anyone else said he was the new Merckx they would have been laughed out the forum.

I would be interested in knowing what monuments people seem to think he is suited for. He seems to have problems with his endurance. That means MSR is always going to be tough. Boonen and Cancellara seem to be a cut above everyone at PR and RV. At LBL and TOL he is always going to struggle to compete with the likes of Gilbert and Rodriguez (albeit he did place second in the WC).
