We can all agree that team sky is without doubt the greatest cycling team in the last three deacade, able to dominate the entire cycling season from Feb to Novemeber with their own brand of attacking racing, brillant tactics and science.

But its key to analise the key reasons for their success which might not be so clear to some people.

1. Recognising tallent in untraditional areas like triathelon and track cycling. We all know know that Wiggos super tallent was evident in his track resuts but other teams were too short sighted to see this.

2. Developing young riders. The years of time and effort invested in riders like froome and Port is un parreleled in modern cycling and has enabled Sky to get unprecedented results.

3. SCIENCE!

4. Getting the best support staff. We all know that sky has the best people working behind the sceans to achieve top results, and best of all they are British!

JV would never let him climb to his true potential because he hates sucess. Total waste his time on that team, might as well have been french.

I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling about this thread going straight to the Clinic.

NO! This thread is about the legitimate success of the greatest cyling team in the world and I will not have it deflowered by paranoid hacks hiding behind their keyboards!

Lets talk about Science

Oh, the thread has a topic

Of coarse it does silly, cant you read the bit at the start?

What about winter training in spain, no other pro cyclists have done that. They are usually off eating pies, making gingerbread, and being the international face of lederhosen like Jan used to
