He says it is possible to win both Green and Yellow.

 

[L'arriviste]

jeez, don't be so stupid. Lance Armstrong use to come out with that crap.

Don't call me stupid, Mr Clever. Have a bit of respect.

Your boy Evans didn't dare say he was clean, did he?

 

[ramjambunath]

Tried many times to ask him about the sponsorship situation (HTC and Leopard not finding a title sponsor then the merger) and till how far in the future he saw his sponsorship with Sky running and if it could become an institution in cycling as Rabobank and the Banesto dynasty with an eye to become the British equivalent of Euskaltel (minus the govt support).

I asked what, if anything, was happening with the Flecha vs. The Idiot Motorist.

Guess because I'd already got one question in there, I'd shot my bolt!

TSF, do you know the answer?

BMC are the Man city of cycling.

Lol, did he say that? Its true a lot of BMC riders have been refusing to work most of this year apart from Evans And Mathias Frank to be fair.

A lot of money wasted.

Yes, there hasn't been too much media coverage after the initial rage burnt out.

The worst of the questions I sent got published though, so couldn't really expect other to be published.

From a purely naturally-talented rider Simon, it is Edvald by a long way. We are constantly blown away by what that guy is capable of and we're working hard at Team Sky to ensure he maximises that potential

Nothing that wasn't known, but interesting that he seems to imply that EBH isn't even close to maximising his potential yet.

As far as I know, certainly Hoogerland was compensated by France television and that was public. I understand that the Sky payout was a bit more protracted and was kept unpublic, but its my understanding that he was compensated.

What form the compensation took for either rider Is a question we'd all know to love the answer to. Maybe french television reached an aggreement to show Flecha and Hoogie for a set amount of minutes per race

as for the chat. I prefer the ones with the riders and ds's. They are a bit more laid back and they tend to be less careful with their words. A wiggins one would be a joy to behold

He'll probably do that at another team because there will be huge interest in him when his contract expires next year.

Which is why we wont see one anytime soon.

We already know Team Sky is United and Garmin is Wigan. Do we have any more? Rabo is Ajax, surely (in before more cloggie on cloggie violence).

Well i just posted in the Greenedge thread that they are the Blackburn of Cycling.

Yes Brailsford wrote the BMC thing in his chat session along with a rant about how they skew Market prices.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

Vasconsoliel are Fc twente...Liquigas are AC Milan, Lampre are Napoli, Androni are Palermo

Who knows how much more he could do. He may be already showing what he can and can't do. He could do a lot more. Brailsford wouldn't have a clue about that.

Don't call me stupid, Mr Clever. Have a bit of respect.

Your boy Evans didn't dare say he was clean, did he?

He has in the past but this is not to do with Evans, it is to do with Sky. He didn't need to say that so why put that **** in?

Erm, why wouldnt DB have a clue?

who the hell really knows how much EBH will acheive? tbh, only EBH might have a slight inkling on what he can and can't do. There's a possibility that he has shown what he can and can't do and will stick to that.

DB will have all sorts of figures, power numbers etc etc. He will also know more than we do how Eddies various injuries and illnesses have effected him etc. Eddies two years at sky have been totally disrupted by Injury and possibly mild hypochondria.

DB will certainly know more about EB's potential than you or I do.

Have you been drinking. Youre a little raucous this evening.
