GT climbed faster than Lance circa 2002 today and only slightly slower than him in 2004, with a head wind and in the wet.

Complete farce. Or just stop at the beginning of the stage, let Sky get an hour lead. Then race without them. Would be funny as gently caress. Although I wonder how the time cut would work.

Lolling right now if you've only ridden with domestic pros for fun and haven't raced against them like I have. Also lolling if you ride with UHC over Optum, the discerning fan's domestic pro team of choice.

Sky should just have Froome contest the sprint stages, it'd at least be entertaining and it wouldn't be any more blatant than loving Geraint Thomas catching Quintana. It wouldn't even be suspicious, they could credit it to their new dish washing technique! Not a bad race if you pretend Sky isn't in it though

A star graduate of the British Cycling system, the Welshman won the Junior Paris-Roubaix race at 17, a junior world title on the track at 18 and by 21 he was completing his first Tour de France. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/cycling/33539511 I'm not saying that something funny isn't going on with Froome, but Thomas does have a history of being a strong rider.

It's all bollocks anyway as most of the heroes that evil Sky are beating have been literally banned for doping in the past. If they do get caught the media backlash against Froome (Kenyan),Thomas and Brailsford (Welsh) will be as if they had Maddie playing with Lee Rigby's head in their basement.

Dirk Pitt posted:Gerraint Thomas, taking the piss 3 km from the finish. Where the gently caress did that come from? Yeah, good point - it's almost as if he didn't win the Volta ao Algarve, finish 5th in Paris-Nice or 2nd in the Tour de Suisse already this season! For me, Thomas is far more believable than, say, Froome - he's a massive engine who, having focussed on the road since London 2012, has shown a gradual upwards trajectory in both the classics and in stage races. I still think he'll crack in the Alps, which would at least make his performance a bit more believable. This thread has turned into a bizarre mixture of justified scepticism and utter ignorance from people who clearly think the TDF is the only bike race that happens every year, the latter of which completely undermines the former!
