Re: Re:

I think I'm going to weep....on NBCSN they are saying the rumors are that Sky is going to sign Bernal for 5 years. OMG he's To Good to become anything other than leader/winner, not a Sky slave .

Bernal would be their leader. He's a generational talent. I doubt they're stupid enough to waste his talent towing Geraint around during the next 5 years.

But how will they make him more British.

Sky have given several non-British riders strong support in GTs. Porte, Uran, Landa, at least. This whole "Sky only support British riders" thing is a myth.

lool that also resulted in a grand total of 1 result (which was Uran when Wiggo was the team leader haha remember how he and Henao had to wait for Wiggo in the rain? )

Stop it.

How does that sit in the Team Sky infrastructure, where it is such a team with British heritage but you’ve got a cosmopolitan cast? Can you imagine a Colombian winning the Tour for Team Sky?

Brailsford: “Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don’t think a Colombian has won a Tour, have they?

“I mean, Nairo has won the Giro and the Vuelta so I think those Grand Tours have been won by a Colombian…. But I don’t think a Colombian has won [the Tour]. So why couldn’t we be the first team to have a Colombian win the Tour de France – that’d be pretty good fun.

“So, you know… that’s probably where we’ll be heading.”

Proving that team sky know what they are doing, Johnny Foreigner can't be trusted to bring it home.
Did i just see Bardet going through -2s to Kwiatkowski? I must be hallucinating.

That was a weird day!

Yes, they haven't had great results, but that's not for lack of support.

Crash. He could hardly stand on the pedals yesterday, quite a problem whilst climbing or TT'ing.

Roglic off to bad start it seems.

Thomas is crushing everyone

 

[Billie]

Look at Froome's motorbike in front of him compared to the others

 

[DNP-Old]

Roglic +30 to Froome.
