Yowzers.. guess JAF doesnt want to talk about radios then
(or wether he can win paris roubaix)

Do pro cyclists look at CQ rankings (PK is in my CQ team)? Is 5 points in a the big races enough to stop a rider DNFing...

Nice to see that Brailsford is as addicted to CQ as I am.

 

[mombus]

ask them this one:

"Who would win in an intense bike race, a well-trained and well-disciplined Navy SEAL or team sky?"

Hahaha yes

I'd pay money to read an interview with Flecha after that last one.


Where they've written out all the Qs and As, they've got the word Expand where there was a photo + the caption. And so it reads...

its seems the tour de france is won or lost on the mountain stages, what can team sky do differently this year to be succesful in this area.

Michael Barry wrote some things about Flecha and it included the tit bit where he hates continuously being asked the same question

It's unfortunate that certain individuals bring down the reputation of all of us and ultimately we're all painted with the same brush but I believe the only reason cycling has such a bad reputation is because it is policed so well. I don't think there is any other sport out there which is controlled as tightly as it is in cycling. On a daily basis we give our whereabouts and where we will be sleeping so we are available for testing 24/7. As a result I think it's currently one of the cleanest endurance sports around.

Nice answer Chris. All your own work?

"So if you want to chew the fat about Cioni, discuss Dowsett, or get his feelings on Froome, be sure to check in and give us your input. "

Right. Not sure he's going to add much to my Froome question that wasn't addressed a few posts and 8 months ago. Cioni - what can you ask except for, "is he staying and if so why?". So lets all sit around and congratulate Dowsett for being a descent bloke for an hour.

OR don't take that press release quite so literally, and just enjoy the magnificent alliteration.

I'd rather whinge about Wiggins, barrack Barry and sulk about Sutton.

Whats Shane Sutton done?

A surprising suggestion that Sutton's support sucked this summer.

Ive got a question:

Why does Sean Yates sound doped up?

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Ive got a question:

A stroke .

 

[Anonymous]

Ive got a question:

because he was seriously ill, and has a serious heart condition, and it left/leaves him with troubles speaking.

It wasnt a stroke though, he has atrial fibrillation

 

[MartinGT]

Ah, now I feel the bell I should feel.

When did this happen?

2009 i think was the last serious attack, but hes had it for a fair while.

I'm not going to get in to a series of posts on this subject, but purely for the record, a stroke is simply the lost of bloody supply to the brain. There can be many underlying reasons, such as AF, but you don't get that set of symptoms without a stroke of some kind.

 

[MartinGT]

Are they still setting DB up or has my PC froze?

 

[Captain_Cavman]

So far it's taken him 20 minutes to turn his laptop on. I could suggest where some marginal gains could be made.

 

[Captain_Cavman]

Woohoo, we're under way. great first question Lee. Just say, "Yes" Dave.
