Excellent work today by Portie Porte. 15+ seconds in less than 2 km on a not so steep hill.

No problemo ...

Some fat bloke from Sky just said on the BBC "Fat V Sugar" prog that 'You can't get porridge on the continent' apparently they take their own with them, so clever.
Their secret is out.....porridge.
I really think they believe their own lies.

Porte won by 10 sec on Ulissi. Evans lost 4 sec to Gerro and Ulissi in the last 200 meters.

I see no problemo in those gaps

1 Richie Porte (Aus) Team Sky 3:42:20
2 Diego Ulissi (Ita) Lampre-Merida 0:00:10
3 Simon Gerrans (Aus) Orica Greenedge
4 Robert Gesink (Ned) Belkin-Pro Cycling Team 0:00:14
5 Daryl Impey (RSA) Orica Greenedge
6 Cadel Evans (Aus) BMC Racing team

The team believe their own lies and the super fans as Sky HQ believe it too. As long as they control the team and the federation, Brailsford can continue with impunity keeping one step ahead of the rest.

Wonder have many of Tim Kerrison's trained cyclists booked their rehab centres for the future?

http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2014/feb/03/ian-thorpe-rehab-depression-swimming

Thorpe, suspected of PED abuse has checked into rehab.

This is a tough one. Not going to say too much more on it but yes. 16 years of age and placed on a regime which had expectations.

Hackett has also had moments as did many other swimmers in Australia from that era. (A home Olympics will do that).

There's more to follow from this one. I believe once Ian has assessed his current issue he'll make a legally formed confession.

It has to be SBW first!

Interesting Thorpe had "zero alcohol in him". He's fried his brain with PEDS.....

Bet the AIS were telling him it was "science" and "clever stuff" not the like the cr*p once used to fuel the Russian/Eastern block cheats with. Ce la vie.

Still at least he won them some medals......

See Sky have managed to get their logistics manager on the UCI equipment panel. I hope this isn't a sign of things to come with regards to Cookson and favouring the team his son works for and sponsors his federation.

Interesting to read that Ian Thorpe (who was trained by Kerrison), has confessed to taking PEDs throughout his career. Yet more revelations against Sky after the revelation that Porte and Froome are gay lovers the other day!

Kerrison does deny it:

Initially, Kerrison was holding down full-time jobs coaching, rowing and swimming, but in the run-up to the Athens Olympics he moved to swimming, still with the Queensland Academy of Sport. There is a misconception, he says, that he worked with Ian Thorpe, but that is not the case. At the QAS, he and a fellow coach, Shannon Rollason, decided to work on the women's sprint, a weak area for the squad, which had a strong record in distance swimming.

It is widely known that Thorpe was coached by Doug Frost
until a well publicised switch to Tracey Menzies after the
2002 Manchester Games.

EDIT and to save Bennoti69 some time:
no, Doug Frost and SKY's Dan Frost are
not related.

So lets get the story straight, Kerrison managed to supply Thorpe with PEDs prior to Sydney, even though he was not a swimming coach at the time, as well as currently being involved in a menage a trois with Froome and Portre, where they get high on AICAR?

Of course it is sarcasm, Kerrsion has never trained Thorpe except in the minds of some of the dopes around here like Hoggie, Septic and Bennotti as they drive futher offtopic:eek:

Sorry, even I don't see the connection.

Your Thorpe story has nothing to do with PED's. He's gone to rehab.

Lord knows any triple gold medalist was unlikely to have been clean at an olympics that took place at the height of the doping era, but that's been known for some time.

Why a totally unrelated story 14 years later is popping up in the Sky thread, I don't get it.

That's right, he only trained the likes of the squeaky clean Libby Trickett (then Libby Lenton) ;)
