After 2013 tour I still believe that Porte can achieve podium places at GT.
he has but he can't handle the pressure. the last three years he stood out thanks to losing huge chunks of time on not really hard stages (over 9! minutes once). this year too, he was expected to take over after Froome crashed out by Sky but he failed. that's why I think that Porte can't handle the pressure of leading a team. which König has done quite well at NetApp
edit: quite similiar to Popovych behind Armstrong

That is true that Konig did well on the Tour by finishing #7 but he was on a continental team and there's no pressure but Porte was under pressure because team sky had won the GT in 2012 and 2013. |

Belkin seem to be losing a lot of riders, not sure who they're buying. But seem to be thin in the GT with Mollema gone and with Boom gone, Vanmarcke doesn't have that much support for the cobbled classics. |

Jetse Bol has to leave. He doesn't get a new contract. I've only heard they signed Van Asbroeck (on this forum, not official), Mike Theunissen and Bert-Jan Lindeman.

You also don't go from world beater having a full on chest infection in 1 day I think.

YEAH! A slave less for Sky. As an italian I never liked him being in Team Sky.
On another note always Team Sky is going to sign Viviani and is dealing with the young Filippo Ganna and Sonny Colbrelli -.-
At least they aren't climbers

As a (formerly) part-Italian team that statement makes little sense

Exactly. It's not football where you have just 90 minutes to perform. But almost 21 days. |

that wasn't even the moment I thought of but you're right, sometimes it's good to read news, which I do. I do admit of having trouble with remembering news that's older than a day.
Spoiler no need to talk so demeaning, at least that's how it came over  |

I'm not sure about MTN as well. I mean, if they signed a few non African cyclists, okay, but I think they now have more non-African than African cyclists in their team. And with Boasson Hagen, Bos, Goss and Farrar they have very strong non-African cyclists in their team, and they have Ciolek as well. I hope they won't lose their African image too much because that would be a real shame and a loss for cycling.
