I wonder how many times that was asked

 

[Captain_Cavman]

Claasic Brailsford, "Lets start with the the big question first" he begins and then avoids it completely.

They asked whether he would be joining, not whether Dave would like to sign him.

 

[MartinGT]

Thats his answer on Cav?

Lets start with the the big question first!! Every team out there would love to sign Mark Cavendish and we are no different!! He proved again at the weekend that he is a one in a generation rider.

Pffft

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

OK, so answer 1 isn't an answer.

I noticed that.

The same answer he has been giving for the past 2 years now pretty much. Totally lame.

someone give me a nudge if i nod off.

 

[auscyclefan94]

what a bs answer about the cav question. they need some help with their PR.

i hope dave doesn't give us fabricated answers.

*nudge*

I know they have to be careful re Cav but a better answer could of been given. OR an answer!

Maybe they can use Alistar Campbell?

 

[Captain_Cavman]

So he's 0 out of 3 in revealing anything in his answers. Odds on a complete shut out?

15 minutes in, only two questions answered. This is not up to usual sky standards. Im wondering if they have technical issues, or if DB just cant type very quickly

 

[auscyclefan94]

will there be a transcript later? might just read that.

so they are showing some improvement!

I think they must have been taken by surprise with that Cavendish question. Couldn't have seen that one coming.

 

[L'arriviste]

He's very vague / PR-ish with his answers. Is it really so hard to take a light-hearted guess at when a British rider might win Roubaix or the Ronde? Somebody should remind him these are the fans not the press.

 

[Captain_Cavman]

OK, an almost interesting answer, "One of the biggest challenges we used to face as GB Team was getting the riders' pro teams to align the riders goals and give them the optimal race programme to try and achieve those goals. As we now oversee both sides we can do this"

Does that mean he's going to be overseeing the Road Race favourite's race programme?

 

[ramjambunath]

I doubt they will be having many questions about Henao. The first question was ****.

 

[L'arriviste]

On a totally different note I also like to think we are showing that you can win big bike races clean - that is a very important aspect for me.

Well, I suppose that's a reasonably straight statement of intent. Not many team bosses would be say something as risky as that.

 

[auscyclefan94]

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

 

[MartinGT]

Boassen Hagen, Porte, G, Wiggins, Cav? Froome, Can you have too much talent?

DB:-

Hi Steve, I think it depends on what type of talent - the key is to have complimentary talents and not all riders with the same qualities. If this is achieved we can build a truly world class team and that is the goal.

So he didnt say Cav WASNT there

 

[auscyclefan94]

DB:-

coincidentally I posted a very similar question but it didn't get published.

 

[Captain_Cavman]

You lost your apostrophe. Once again the answer didn't say anything, although in this case it's probably because it's not his place to say it.

BMC are the Man city of cycling.

 

[simo1733]

Eddy B has by far the most physical potential of any one in the squad.
