1. Blow up the pack
2. Send the only helper on an attack
3. Wait til the last possible moment
4. Attack with the race leader
5. ??????
6. Profit.

They already did for me, at least stage racing part. US Postal was much worse results wise...

x2 I won't be watching much stage races this year. Only classics remain somewhat exciting. |

Wtf is this
Somebody in the car calculated the estimated time left and cross-checked it with Porte and Froome's datas. Then they were sent the number they can sustain till they reach the finish line. Once they got the number they processed.
Looks like Froome got his order first.
Team orders eh?
Now all we need is someone to get onto the wrong team bus.

They're reaching the one-day races too with random riders now.
Stannard to win Milano-San Remo and Paris-Robaix next year. |

You calling Stannard random rider ?  Come on.
Anyway, didn't you expect Sky 1-2 here ?
Considering all the question marks about the performance

Postal only cared about TDF which is the main difference for the results.
Sky are just pushing the scientific logic of cycling to its edge, for the racing style (I'm not even addressing the chemical aspect here). I guess that's the direction cycling is going, even in post-Sky years, the attacks and all will probably be less chaotic and all riders will try to optimise their output. |

Portewas already stronger as all these riders in PN. Was quite expected.
Evans looks really old.

Compared to Cance, Boonen, Chavanel,Sagan and loads of others, he is totally random guy, even when we know he is beast rider. His best results ever? 3rd at K-B-K and 4th at Paris-Tours, so yeah, him winning something big would be random.

Of course we are surprised. I expected Kiryienka to challenge for 3rd in GC.

Not surprised. Dissapointed. Like in every race Sky destroys. |

None of SKY's riders proved any significant talent until joining this team.
And sure, the peloton is quite weak here. But it's pathetic watching Froome drift away while he looks like a kid riding home from school on a friday.

That is what i was talking about a month ago, we are going to robotic cycling times, it does not even matter if they are doping or not, it is coming from sport to science completly.

But who is saying he's going win. Not me.
And with Stannard is really hard to look at results as he was mostly a monster domestique past years. Last year he had breakthrough. Smashed the Nationals ( and the British Champion usually has great following year i.e. Thomas 2010, Wiggins 2011, Stannard 2012 )
Absolute monster rides for Henao at Tour de Pologne or Worlds 2013 with his monster attacks on Cauberg where he showed his strenght.

I have to differ here, there were riders identified as promising before joining Sky. Porte being one of them.

See, Sky are so so scientific, they don't really care about aesthetics. It's so much nicer to see the 1-2 riders in the same picture rather than having them coming separate by 20+ seconds.
