    Completely agree

    Anyone who employs anyone from TVM in 98 in the current climate should be run out of the sport with a pitchfork

    Shrewd. A bit of inside knowledge on the Sky Machine methods and tactics. Riis will use that.

    I'm not sure that's true. Their coaching and training set-up seems quite different. You would be hard pushed to find many dedicated coaches at the other teams.

    If you're thinking of USPostal then it's no secret that part of their success was based on a team ethic that isn't always replicated on other "teams". There are plenty of similarities between Sky and USPostal, it's unfortunate that some fans can't separate USPostal's team methods from their doping.
