Isn't there an Italian link in respect of sponsorship?
I think Brailsford did say at one point that their next target was to win the Tour with a French rider. I think that was before the French media pissed him off so now he will probably just win it with anyone but a French rider just for the LOLs
TGH is probably the most likely heir to Froome/Thomas. Especially after the Yates' re-signed for Mitchelton.
italian link?
You seem to be answering my question by asking the same question.
I don't know the answer, that's why I asked. But I thought I'd read/head of an Italian link.
Don't Sky Sports have an Italian Channel? Also their bikes are Pinarello and their kits are Castelli so there is a definite Italian link.

Chapter #78 of How to Win the Tour de France for dummies:
When the french media starts attacking you, because you know, well, erm... because, use that to divert the attention from the real questions you probably have left unanswered by now.
Victimize yourself as a true sufferer at the hands of these cruel baguette-eaters.
You can try and use arguments like "They're just saying that because I'm [insert your non-french nationality]" or "They haven't won since Hinault, so they need a scapegoat".
And if you run out of lines, don't worry, just buy an Armstrong book. There's nothing you can make up about the french media he hasn't already said!

Bernal is 21? He looks 41. Must be a hard life in Colombia because Quintana looks the same. Maybe that explains his sudden drop in form. He's really 38 not 28
I thought the same thing after hearing the commentators RAVE AND RAVE about this amazing young kid from Columbia, who never wins anything but is still the greatest cyclist ever, except of course Merckx and of course their beloved Lance.
I saw him and I thought "That is no kid, that guy is in his mid thirties... I am going to laugh when he never really develops like a 20 year old should and instead regresses like Quintana did.

I will point out in 2015 it was Team Sky not Ineos, so you're in the wrong thread
I mean, if you really want me to bump the even older thread, I can.
But you are no longer an admin, you have no power here!
I can still bump an old thread very easily if you're too lazy
Fine by me, I've just been conditioned not to. I remember getting PM scolded by an admin for bumping old threads in my first year on the site for bumping old threads, and that really scared 12 year old me into submission for life.
