Yes, it is a Wiggo article. But at the bottom of the page it is essentially a Sky lovefest. The blinders are on in a big way. I still find it pretty surprising that folks can be so willing to accept a situation if it fits with what they want to hear/see, but parallels are not OK. Reminds me of USPS.

Ball not man. Deal with their arguments not what you are guessing to be their identities.

For all we know you might be a shill, paid by commercial opponents of the Sky corporation, trying to damage their corporate image.

You certainly seem to spend enough time shrieking about Sky for it to warrant being a full-time job

Malfunction! Does not compute! Malfunction!

Sky have no need to back off if everything is 'cleans', so if they are backing off, that points to doping.

I dont think Piti looks like he is falling back.

did it before with Porte at last year's tour after all the carry on from his day out on Ax3 when he suddenly turned into a hapless neo-pro losing 18mins.
all about reducing suspicion

 

[stutue]

Yes, the Bagnères-de-Bigorre stage when Froome was completely isolated and the opposition had the chance to attack him in numbers but they opted to distance Richie Porte. Definitely a planned move that.

You'd never let your team leader/yellow jersey get isolated by accident, after all.

They also faked a team car breakdown so that Froome could fake a near bonk and have to send Porte back illegally to get food, incurring a penalty.

Again, a planned move. You'd never let your key domestique and team leader throw themselves at the whimsical mercy of the race commissars by accident.

And all to detract suspicion.

i goggled "lemmy"

There was a lovely piece on Sir Brad in the online
Wall Street Journal a couple/few days ago that
mentioned the King of Kilburn wanted to drop by
the Viper Room on Sunset after the Tour of Cali.

Lemmy lives just nearby and has been known to
frequent the place, so maybe the pair of them
can get together and chat about Wigan.

Lol, my personal favourite is when Porte was grimacing with his teeth showing, going up a killer climb, and people were saying he was 'smiling.'

We all know the real reason they went to Fox Studios recently, acting lessons.

Deignan in today's Giro breakaway. I am praying he gets the win

partly yes but I like Deignan as a rider anyway

This is irony, yes?

 

[stutue]

No, its sarcasm.

 

[bobbins]

Nice win by Teflon Mick today. Salary paid by sky last year despite being, according to Dave B, dirty. Didn't stop him signing him to team sky though. Must have forgotten what he knew.

What the **** relevance does somebody cheering for deignan have to do with me. I've never even written the guys name before

You brought Hitch into this, not 'pastry'.

He rides for sky as hitch is generally acknowledge as a hater by some sky fans and since deignan rides for sky and pastry usually troll sky detractor's here ..so

 

[alspacka]

How does Uran's Froomesque improvement in the ITT after leaving sky fit in with the narrative around here?

 

[Netserk]

A little like how both Hamilton and Landis were at their best outside of Postal...

Don´t worry... They found a way to have Wiggins doped at Sky while finishing 3rd in the TdF with the trademark clean team GAR. They changed dates of T-Lockes blood profile so that it fits for the time being at Sky. Rogers clen was also be connected to Sky... So it should be easy to blame the whole OPQS performance of today into a Sky one.

P.S.: Sivtsov is 18th so far as best Sky rider. He had three T-16 finishes with Highroad-Columbia... just as a side note. Total Sky domination where ever you look.

 

[ChewbaccaD]

And Sky produces another clean GT contender...
