true but it won't happen

brailsford will conveniently drop the idea

If I remember correctly, Brailsford said he would be agreeable to releasing the data to an independant panel, if everybody else did. He probably said it in the knowledge that'll never happen.

he's full of it

he's the real 'tell' about sky doping not froome

I do wonder what would have happened if Wiggins had not crashed the 2011 Tour.

Sky Wiggins and the British media were saying he could win the Tour. Of course i and others dismissed it, but looking at in in hindsight he won the Dauphine and if he was as good as in 2012, the way the mountains were raced it would actually have been very possible.

Not sure about that, I think he would have lost big time on the Alpe stage and/or the Galibier stage. Plus Evans put in a superb TT.

Questionmarks all over.

Was today part of the plan? Pretending to be weak?

Lol, british Eurosport clowns question Belkin performance. LMAO

wrong thread.

why not open a thread on belkin?
last time a dutch team was so strong was in 2007...

No. That was just further proof that Sky is dumber than dirt when it comes to any sort of race tactics. People give JV stick for being a terrible DS but JV is Sean Freaking Kelly compared to the gits at Sky.

I'm too lazy.

Non-Froomite Sky is very weak, that should be accepted at this point in my opinion. I wonder why their superior training methods stopped working so suddenly?

I'm too lazy, plus, I'd prefer a Mollema Ten Dam thread.

But surely with that magic potion they got that turned Froome into the best climber in the world they could have kept him at the front? I mean that's miracle stuff they got there. I'd say it must be part of some grand scheme to make themselves look more believable.

Maybe you can clue Sky in to a drug that increases tactical savvy instead of VO2Max. Real racing sometimes involves more than staring at a power meter.

Sky are worthless at tactics, but it's pretty obvious that other than Froome and Porte they're physically quite weak right now.

 

[Benotti69]

Sky seem to only know 1 way to race. Must be the track background.

I don't think Sky ****ed up tactically, they simply couldn't do anything about it. Saxo, OPQ and Belkin too strong.

 

[roundabout]

Froome was a bit caught out. Wonder who left the gap open.

 

[Alphabet]

No PED can make you strong enough to catch the peloton once dropped in crosswinds.

Didn't RR say something about an AICAR test?

 

[BroDeal]

Probably a Saxo rider.

 

[LaFlorecita]

It was Froome.

Saw some idiot on twitter saying "why did Froome allow saxo to ride away?"

Yep, he was there with Kwiatkowski but he couldn't do it it seems.

Galibier is 6% average so perfect for wiggins. If guys like Voekler Rolland and Cunego surivived it it should be no problem for wiggins who on 2012 form is twice the climber of any of them.

Alpe was soft pedalled too. The place Wiggins may have lost time is like Schleck in Gap.

 

[EnacheV]

Any more idiotic comments about team doping after today's stage ?

Saxo team riding 30km TTT FTW
