So has anyone noticed just quite how badly Team Sky do when it comes to the wind? Everytime it gets a little breezy the team loses ounces of time (yes, I did just use a descriptor of weight to give time a value), and usually the leaders jersey with it.
Qatar, now Oman, so how about Belgium? Or that cobbly-windy stage in the TDF?
You'd expect them to do well with Steven de Jongh as DS
Or maybe it was a sly Quickstep tactic to infultrate Team Sky to sabatage their efforts

Somehow I can imagine Lefevere doing something like that.

Hagen was taking a leak just before the wind came. Bennati said that it was unfair that the pack attacked when the leader had stopped to pee. But I agree that Sky haven't been any good so far.
I also think that it is partly EBH's fault, he has been their team captain in both Qatar and Oman and he rarely gets into the right positions at the right time, this also happened a lot last season too.

Hmm, and havent they signed Contador already for next season? So Sky nor Astana is any threat to Quick Step. They must have someone at Lotto too Edited by mrlol on 17-02-2010 15:24

Discusting race tactics from Garmin again. Attacking whilst the leader was taking a pee. Anything to increase Farrar's chance of winning.
I think that will happen to Sky quite a bit this year.

It's Garmin in general i think, let's not forget Hincapie's yellow jersey ruined by Garmin. It's stupid tactics. Makes me angry, it's a gentlemen's agreement, as soon as Sky do it, everyone will argue.
I hope Sky do stuff up Garmin's chances some time this year, it'll be amusing to see the reactions.

Cyclingnews says it was Cervelo instead of Garmin. So who actually was it?
