They got a early morning dope test yesterday too.

Stop trolling please, we know you think they are doped, because you just wrote it hundred times today
Stop trolling please, we know you are naive enough to believe they are clean cause you stated that a thousand times today.
Take it to the Sky Doping Thread

They used cheat codes.
If offense is the best defence, does it mean that defence is the worst defence?

Avin hasn't said anything on them being doped or clean? |

You are funny, i am the last one to call them clean, they are not guilty yet, though very suspicious for me

I am from sweden, why? If Löfkvist wins the vuelta i will be happy, but i will also think it's suspicious. |

Wiggins winning the stage doesn't bother me, as I don't think that he is terribly suspicious. I'm just pissed off that this year's Tour is now just going to be an inevitable 2 weeks of watching shit all happen as Wiggins parades around France in yellow.

I love how all the Brits suddenly defend Sky in the same way they have always accused Americans of defending Armstrong.
Oh well, gg Tour, let's hope for a good Vuelta. |

Hasn't he been tested the last few days by virtue of being the race leader anyway? Pretty sure Froome was tested a few days ago as well. |

I think he can do even better in the last TT or at least good as today.
Very good result today, he seems like GT TTs specialist.

And then in Britain afterwards... oh wait, the UK doesn't really give a thought to cycling that much |

They are doing exactly what the Armstrong fans did, put heir head in the sand and not listen to reason and then make up their minds. |

Not going to happen at least
Löfkvist has to be one rider at Sky - that actually went back in level of racing then forward.

Not all. I have no doubts about there being a programme at Sky, if not British Cycling was well now. But they haven't been caught yet, and they probably won't be. |

All GC contenders relatively close together in that TT, except for Armstrong and Azevedo of course.
No, but honestly, if you have a bit of common sense, and look at these results, together with past result you can not call this normal in anyway.
That said, the course also takes a lot of suspense away from the race.

Could really do with some more mountain stages, indeed. But the race is also missing the riders who could really put Sky under pressure. Evans, Nibali and co really have to take some risks now - they can't just let Sky take the front and ride up the climb as they did on Saturday.

Hopefully it will encourage many to attack and stretch Sky but I fear there will an element of protect, see what happens and look for a podium. Hope is there for some serious attacking though. |
