Some would say that of Froome in the TDF last year. So really, you should be the last person to say that |

Oh, I wouldn't be surprised if Sky were on dope. I just follow them because they're British. And that so far, they're clean.

I don't see you complaining about bikeradar or any of the other forums where people regularly get banned for saying anything slightly negative towards Sky...

Er, Tiernan-Locke had double page spreads, and Michael Barry was consistently reffered to during US Postal scandal as 'he rode for Sky before retiring'. Then again, that was only because they were shocked. Besides, most of the general public here have poor attitudes to this sort of thing(i.e. 'We're British, we practically invented sport, and they only take drugs in Spain and Lance Armstrong's team.'

You're still not getting it.
Morris Possoni. Convicted in the ongoing trial for doping for years, including his tenure at Sky. Currently awaiting sentencing.
Seen that on the press? Yeah, of course not.
As for JTL, did any of that british press mention that he was being trained by Sky during 2012 already? Or did they say he was an Endura rider at the time?

But Morris Possoni couldn't climb a speed bump at Sky! Anyway, JTL stories vary-most papers say he was Endura, but some online columnists(British) mentioned that he was already a Sky rider, just not contract-wise.

Putting aside the fact that that's a lie, how is it in any way relevant?

It was showing my shock at him getting done for drugs or in other words, me thinking aloud. And most of what I think is rubbish.

I loved every second of it. |

I have a picture of EBH that fits if you want 
I hope we see a better Contador at the tour this year than last, so we can have really competition in the mountains. It's hard to compare him and Froome atm with little racing |

Danish TV broadcasted the first 3 stages of Tirreno-Adriatico.
Yesterday they only showed it later due to Snooker being sent live. Today the 1st priority was HORSEBACK-RIDING and again cycling was only sent postponed.
