Froome as a sumo wrestler? My penis is better suited for sumo wrestling than Froome.
You often seem to pick really odd phrases 
I don't pick them, they pick me.
There's a fine line between "psychotherapist" and "psycho the rapist"

Porte is doing Giro and Tour. Brailsford already said resources will be limited though and not spread evenly across Tour and Giro since the obvious weak links in this year Tour squad.

Seeing that list I missed something, Horner has a new team?
Also, Schleck  will he race in 2014? |

All i can picture now is Quintana and Valverde dressing up as each other to swap races... But doing so really badly.. with those awful glasses with mustaches, even though neither of them has a mustache or glasses. Then Unzue comes along asking if anyones seen them, and the rest of the team either points different directions or says "tanned and skinny? Nope, havn't seen them." But the twist is that in the end it was Old Man Jones from the Mill right at the very beginning who was haunting the town to... I seem to have created a new Scooby Doo episode...

He says he wants to focus on university studies, but I'm guessing having trouble finding a team was a factor as well

Pinot is missing TdF? Is it because of the cobbles, Quintana was afraid of them the most iirc but was Pinot too? But if he's afraid to descend then riding cobbles might be scary too.

He's not afraid of descents, but high speeds - that's why when it's wet = slower he doesn't have problems staying in front of the peleton.

Skipping, rather than missing. Good to see that he wont become another Andy or Vandenbroeck and only have eyes for the Tour.

Nah, he wants to do something else, that was announced before the TDF route was revealed (although it was known there'd be cobbles).
Giro and Vuelta routes probably suit him better, more MTF, etc.
Also, it's hard to imagine the pressure that's being put on French prospects by the media, and the somewhat devastating effect it has on riders.
"The new Bernard Hinault" is a nickname that has done its share of damages on riders... |

It's now confirmed that Canyon provides Movistar with bikes in 2014.

It's an intermittent fear for him related to a major accident when he was younger. The latest thing to spark that fear was an early season near miss if memory serves but since the TdF he seems to have got over it again. |
