Well Lance would probably have been dropped like a sack by Froome, so he was never capable of this ;-) |

Well, they often planned the Tour with a ITT before the first mountains, they dont do that anymore. Big ITT I should say
Also Lance more or less did what Froome has done in 2013 and now today. |

Yep the parallels between how Postal and Sky go about the Tour is very similar, the main difference is that while Froome is arrogant, Armstrong was a total D%$K and ruined peoples lives to get to and stay on top

Imagine how good Kwiatkowski will become if he will progress just as Froome, Porte or Thomas did. |

Yeah or he could end up like Edvald Boassoon Hagen who went to Sky as the next big thing but went the opposite way

This. Sky create monsters out of mediocre riders. They are not very good at developing an already established talent.

Thomas would be the only guy who was really promising who has developed into a top shelf rider in that squad. Other guys have either gone backwards or just stayed around the level they had when brought into the squad. Developing young talent isn't easy, Greenedge look like a set up who do it well and they arent the only ones but Sky certainly don't look set up to do the same. You can't blame Kwiatkowski, they would be offering more than any other potential team could so he is looking after himself in that regard.

Sky more or less made EBH a good mediocre/good mountaindomestique, the same will probably happen to Kwiat, yeah, although I still maintain Kwito is the more talented. But lets not forget EBH in 2011 when he won 2 stages, probably due to Wiggins' abandon. |

Froome just blocked a well known Belgian cycling reporter on Twitter because he was comparing Froome's pedal stroke to Armstrong's 
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Considering Froome has a horribly bad biomechanical racing position. Based on everything SKY has tried to say and their "Marginal Gains" wouldnt that be the first thing they fixed unless they clearly are just doping the shit out of him.
I mean the guy doesnt even know how to ride a bike properly. |

I know that Sky and Astana are the biggest teams in the WorldTour, and obviously over the past few years they have been the absolute best teams, but I just don't understand why guys would go there., But going to Sky would be a huge mistake for Landa I believe, I mean Landa can easily be a Top 10 in a Tour de France, I believe, but he'll never get that opportunity at Sky, he'll be the new Porte. He would be better off going to Etixx, or Cannondale or somewhere where he'd be the sole leader for lots of races, not just a domestique who won't ever get his shot. Look at it, he'd be probably 5th in the pecking order behind Froome, Henao, Konig, Nieve, and maybe even Poels! |
