His mother Lydia is French.

Dang! Shows what I know

No we don't know it's 'SPELT' like that

A2 [I or T] (spelled or UK also spelt, spelled or UK also spelt) to form a word or words with the letters in the correct order:

Well hey ho ....back to racing

Sky have a formidable team for Giro

Porte, Konig, Henao ......if in form very good team...Konig says he and Porte will co lead ??

SKY have a very strong contingent to chose from this year for all 3 GTs

 

[ray j willings]

itsn't it more like when is yours ..Its Roche btw ....and he rides for Ireland and is Irish ....

More Irish than Bradely Wiggins or Chris Frooem are British BTW

Fact . Roche born in France. Not Irish
Wiggins born in Belgium. Not English.

They have been raised in another country from birth.

Well hey ho ....back to racing

Sky have a formidable team for Giro "and will win nothing"

Porte, Konig, Henao ......if in form very good team...Konig says he and Porte will co lead ?? " that's super for them and I'm sure that a top 10 position will be ample reward"

SKY have a very strong contingent to chose from this year for all 3 GTs "and will not win any of them"

"

I also predict Wiggins will not top 10 at PR

Fact . Roche born in France. Not Irish
Wiggins born in Belgium. Not English.

So by that standard, Chris Horner is Japanese?

Well done for showing a complete ignorance of peoples nationality and on another note one was raised in the same country as their birth.

 

[happytramp]

Anyone have any idea where they'll use Deignan this year? He was surprisingly good last year.

 

[ray j willings]

Just thought you would like to know the actual birthplace.

Roche went to a private school in Dublin then moved to France "his birthplace" in the late 90's



No need to get so worked up by a FACT.

I suppose you think Froome is a cockney

Okinawa, Japan for Horner. FACT

you can prove anything with facts

 

[inthepink]

Only guessing here but I think he will do Giro & Vuelta again
But having said that he could do Tour only first week does not suit his skills and with Porte,Konig, Roche, Poels, Thomas, Kennaugh, Nieve etc he might need to get in line

I guess SKY wil wait and see ....its a long way to the Tour and lots can change

I also predict Wiggins will not top 10 at PR

and i hope it would be raining at PR. Then it's official a real hell!! I would like to see how "sir' can handle the rain. The last time I remembered, in the Giro when it was raining, he rode like a granny.

 

[Poursuivant]

When is Henao due back?

It was good wasn't it. Wiggo "Thunderbird head" really lost his bottle.

Comedy brilliance. Marginal gains

Can't tell if you're a troll or you genuinely think that Sky is so dominant, but as a major Team Sky fan who blindly supports British riders, Quickstep are more successful than Sky.

Yup, certainly in terms of wins and more importantly in my view, overall CQ team ranking:

1. Etixx - Quick Step - 12505
2. Movistar Team - 11708
3. Tinkoff - Saxo - 11149
4. BMC Racing Team - 10992
5. Team Sky - 10376
6. Team Katusha - 10283
7. Astana Pro Team - 9058
8. Ag2r La Mondiale - 8469
9. Team Giant - Alpecin - 8416
10. Orica - GreenEDGE - 8091

The new K8-S, which is the fantastic result of
a wonderful collaboration between Italian and
British engineers is most certainly not your
Grandfather's PINARELLO...unless, of course,
your Grandfather's PINARELLO was road tested
with accelerometers, power meters and GPS
instrumentation.

Another novelty bike for the deep pocketed fan boys to buy and the others to dream about

It would be completely impossible for me to agree more.

 

[trevim]

Re:

Roche, a guy who over a decade of riding at top level has the best result of about 5th in major races.

But let's worry about Sky screwing his chances by making him ride for a much better rider.

Lol that's really accurate. Roche will make no leadership claims like he did with Saxo, he's surely better paid to ride for Froome.

 

[ray j willings]

Sky's tactics today were just wrong. They have Thomas who has been looking strong and Sky should have prioritised making sure that he has a team mate with him in the latter stages of the race so he does not need to waste energy chasing down escapes.
Instead they ride at the front and use up all their energy leaving "alone again" Thomas in a unwinnable position.
Sh%t Tactics.

For once we can agree!

Although From Thomas' post race interview it seems he never had the legs today, hopefully he has a teammate or two with him if he does feel good next Sunday.
