If contador was signed up by Sky, he would presumably still be racing like a champion. Wiggins is like a good Leipheimer, which is the worst thing in the world.

zapata said:Contador attacks. He's fun to watch. Wiggins just sits there, behind his nauseating wall of domestiques, and wins in the end. It's worse than the postal years. At least armstrong would attack once in a while.

Vino attacks everyone said:So you don't think Sanchez or a Gesink in shape and fit for fight would be able to be at Wiggo and Nibalis level?
Gloin22 said:The thing is I am talking about florecita clear dislike to Sky as whole in previous pages i.e.
''Will Team Sky go away when they have their precious British Tour winner..? Please?''
Nothing to do with Wiggins now. But I agree with your statement though.
gingerwallaceafro said:Sella and Pantani were fun to watch too.. And Kittens swimming, dwarf wrestling and flea circuses. The odd one out... Sella and Pantani. There's nothing illegal about the others.
LaFlorecita said:Yes I hate Sky. But that comment had nothing to do with Sky themselves but with their racing.
And if Alberto had ever joined Sky I would've hated it - but the love for a rider is stronger than the hate for a team.
gingerwallaceafro said:NO!!! No where near.
Gloin22 said:And is the rest of peleton so much better ?
They let Sky do pacing and VERY FEW actually try to attack. Instead - the rest just sit on their wheels and follow them as long as possible.
Do you hate those riders too ?

zapata said:Yes, I liked pantani a lot. In fact, he was the one who got me interested in cycling. Sella was fun, as well, but only for a couple of weeks.
And, as for dwarf wrestling, believe it or not, but this is one of my earliest memories of an olympic competition: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmW-GJYimbA

zapata said:It's strange to think, now, but for a little while in 1988, dwarf wrestling was the most popular sport in norway. Along with ladies handball. Maybe it's like that with cycling in the UK at the moment?
gingerwallaceafro said:Definitely, I remember the winter olympics when our girls were doing well (British, if they weren't doing well, Scottish), we were excited about curling! I have to tell you, I still love this mate http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqZTP8-8wIs
zapata said:Arh. I'm not quite old enough to remember it, but it's been replayed so often, that I only need to hear that voice for a millisecond before I cringe and switch it off.
Anyways, sorry for taking this thread slightly off topic. Congratulations with having two brits in the top of the tour de france, enjoy it while it lasts!
Pretty sure Gary is from Victoria, not the Northern Territory.thehog said:And he's half Australian. He's father was born in Darwin.
Vino attacks everyone said:Can agree with Gesink but seriously not Sanchez?!?!?!
gingerwallaceafro said:Secondly, SKY wouldn't touch AC with a bargepole. For those that don't know, that's like a very long stick.
