Nah, they never dominated like this (logical, since every other team was doing the same in that period)
Was it not nice that someone slagged off your favorite team?
But anyway...
That commentator sounds worse than Hugh Porter!

Decent stage. Kwiatkowski for the GC? He's easily in the pole seat now.
EDIT: I just realized I accidentally made a pun.

Oh yeah, and the race leader is a combination between Kessiakoff and Kwiatkowski... Kessiakowski.

Seeing the race a few hours later:
- Santambrogio and Kwiatkowski?????????
- SKy did great, but 4 Sky's dropping almost every rider in the Tirreno..... And the 2nd team did the same in Paris - Nice, and EBH and Wiggo weren't even there........ Of course, people start talking about doping in the Team, so stop being so dominant!
- Wout Poels was great, only 8 months after his horrible crash in the Tour.
Anyway, will watch again tomorrow. Stage will be tough again.

they're not going to stop trying to win just because some people accuse them of doping |

More shocking that the sky train is the perfomances of kwiatowski and santambrogio,performing with the big guns like this,wow,i thought they were more hilly kinda guys but they've done a heck of a climb.Back to the sky train,what do you guys expect?they have by far the best climbing team in cycling,guys like porte,henao,uran if they were in another team they will be leaders there and you can't compare to us postal because that train only appear in the tour de france.Regarding the eurosport commentators we portuguese are really screwed with them,not only paulo martins but also his co comentator buddy who is 1000 times worse than paulo,a total douchebag that doesn't know anything about cycling and just spits ignorance when he open his mouth.That part of the paris-nice being the first world tour race of the year was hilarious,they problably never heard of the tour down under.Thank god for the streams in the internet where we can hear decent comentators.To finish i think kwiatowski will win the tirreno,he will defend the jersey tomorrow and he is very good against the clock and the short distance of the time trail will suit him. |

Sorry for the wall,i let myself carry away a little bit,rookie mistake it seems.
You are on the money with Castroviejo,best movistar rider,finishing in front of guys like Cobo,Intxausti or Cappechi,his looking really strong for a top 10 finish as he problaby do a top 3 in the time trial only to fall short to guys like Martin and Spartacus |

Don't forget Sutty has slightly different meanings for the smileys than the rest of us... It could be a joke...

Regardless of what you think of him, it's not fair to call him a wheelsucker.
Did you really watch the same stage as the rest of us? Because it looked to me like he was the one attacking the most on the final climb.
It's like if I'd call Wiggins a bad timetriallist, just because I don't like him.

Yeah it's pathetic really, makes me prefer crappy online streamings to them sometimes. The thing I hate the most is when they miss a rider who got dropped from the main group and then spend the rest of the stage mumbling about having no information on him. You're paid to watch a broadcast of your loved sport and you can't even scratch the right way to do it?! It's a blessing to have that french dude during TdF.
As to the race itself there isn't much to say, except that the spaniards ass must be quite sore of all the kicking, bar Castroviejo that is. But what I'm still trying to understand is when did Santambrogio become such a climber?!
Also surprising is Schleck cracking the top80 finishing just after Kennaugh!

If Andy was on good form, I think/hope he and Contador would make the races interesting again.
