Yeah driving back to central Manc from Stockport at lunchtime, a group of up to a dozen riders in Team Sky gear bombing down the A6 on the way to dunno somewhere flat in Cheshire? Looked good, made my day.

That is all.

    And were they riding their sky liveried dogma training bikes that Scott S tweeted about a few days ago?

    No sign of the Wiggster (maybe he was still crying buckets of tears for 'our lads'). I deffo saw Sky HD on their kit. Couldn't make anyone out, or the bikes hey were on. They all looked dead young and skinny, not entirely surprising. Now I gotta spend my lunchtimes prowling up and down the A bleedin' 6.

    So who did you see?

    Andy. You do know most of Team Sky will be in their current team kit til 1.1.10?

    Yes, I see them every day as they do my regular training route in Cheshire backwards. One lives round the corner from me and was drafting me when I was cycling home from the shops once, at about 15mph. :shock:

    People do realise Team GB are also sponsored by Sky?

    Not many people do.

    I mean, technically, Wiggins has been with Sky for ages, innit.

    And like I said at least one part of the track team has since last year been Team Sky+ HD

    Is this a new Brailsford training method?
    What are the benefits?
    Have you tried it?

    Or is it because GB are sooo good on the track they are going to start winning backwards?

    Aye, see them most days. And Chris Newton in particular always seems to be riding through our village. Skinny little runt, needs feeding up a bit ;)

    Yep most definately. The velodrome is at the bottom of my road, so I get to see the lads going out and coming back in on a regular basis. I tried to keep up with them once whilst riding through Wilmslow. Thought I was the dogs b@llocks till they decided they'd had enough of me and so proceeded to drop me like a sack of sh1t. I chased them at 25mph and didn't even make a dent in the lead they had put into me. I blew up not long after. :cry:
