Team Ineos (Formerly the Sky thread)

Thanks.

I thought it was WADA numbers, just wanted a pointer.

Basically Kennaugh suddenly has disappeared from all (provisional) startlists he was scheduled. That actually looks a bit controversial in fact.

Though he's still temporary scheduled for the Ardennes. Has there been any explanation given meanwhile?

TUEston we have a problem

My bet is they will soon fall apart completely... (at least performance-wise)

Guys getting nervous and SKY salvaging what salvage can be done.....

But who would maintain in that case anyway?
Contador with the preferential treatment hints in the report?
Nibali with Astana still facing a possible license loss?
Now of all times, Aru?
Quintana who always is "still in Colombia" while Eufemiano now acts from South America?

I can't see cycling resign the biggest carnage in years to come. I doubt anyone will touch Froome & Contador!

Kennaugh in contrast may be perfect to sacrifice a pawn ain't he!?

He could be the next JTL. He was also extremely suspicious last year where he was out most of the spring.

It would certainly be easier to take down a rider like him than a giant like Froome. The big guys never falls before the retire.

I just cant see anyone from Sky getting busted.

Although when little Pete was vocal on Twitter earlier this year IIRC, he may have been angry at someone being busted and the inner circle being compromised.

 

[ray j willings]

Sky related ...marginal gains is not really working....if this was Froome it would have been perfect

Like Cat said to him on Twitter. Well done, now get the rest to show it.

Still doesn't mean their clean, but does show better credibility.

Its sort of like saying well done to Lance for donating 100 000 to anti doping. An easy way to appear anti doping while taking 0 risk of his own cheating getting caught.

This is a guy who glorifies Vino and then claims he didn't know Vino was doping when called out on it. Saying "I am clean", asking for rivals to be tested and ticking boxes with the sole aim of broadcasting that you ticked the box to the world, are just cheap attempts by a cheater to win over idiots with spin and pr.

Was it Kimmage who noted the difference between doing the right thing and be seen to do the right thing.

My exact tweet as:

@chrisfroome @PaulKimmage Suggest to your teammates they do the same. Small steps towards a better future. (post pics if they already do so)

Technically, there wasn't a well done in there, though I admit it easily could be implied.


Being open and transparent in this, could be a gateway to greater openness and transparency in the future.

 

[SeriousSam]

This fundamental and important distinction probably goes back to at least Plato.

Your post should be the caption for that photo. I would have it framed and/or have it as my screensaver! Classic!

..PROVIDED IT CAN NO LONGER BE IDENTIFIED AS MY SAMPLE...

More meaningless posturing to be lapped up by those not paying attention.

Kimmage may have said this.

however, its actually how society works most of the time.

but in the positive side, if Froome-dawg makes more Nutella pancakes and puts the food-porn on his twitter feed(sic) and keeps on flirting with us all is good.

if he puts the nutella pancakes on his tinder profile, he might have more success than shane warne and lance armstrong

nah, he blocked me from twitter. I dont know why. I reckon Cound coulda hacked his account

He hasn't blocked me yet, but he will.

It can wait, I'm still high from Walsh blocking me.

Edit: Wow, Twitter has been hilarious for the past 24 hours

LMAO!!! Read the last line in English. The person signing only agrees if the lab carrying out the research CAN'T identify the athlete who provides the sample...

They could use anyone's sample in this case. UCI PR Can't be having any more of those pesky accidental retro positives can we?

What do we make of Josh Edmundson's departure.He seemed promising.
