    No chance. But he's better than anyone else Lampre have, so he might as well give it a go and see what happens.

    You really are a complete tool, Frenchie.
    You post some great photos, but really can't help yourself with your comments - they are tedious and pathetic 90% of the time. Why do you feel the need to troll constantly to the ruination of threads in which you participate? :evil:

    I've said it before, but Joshua Edmonsdon seems a good egg. You can always spot him in the pelaton as he seems to never wear gloves. Must be made of tough Yorkshire stuff

    Nooo....Considering what Wiggins said to Dombrowski when they first met last year and Wiggins saw the Band of Lies on his wrist, he'd have cut Edmondson a new one

    On closer inspection, it isn't as it's got black lettering. But what is it?

    Yeah that one is good. The funny thing tho is that the blog hadnt been updated for a month at the time I posted the pic. ..im guessing its run by a forum member or someone who browses. Always gives me a good chuckle.

    Ha - in the photo of him with Wiggins it looks like Wiggins is looking at the wrist band thinking "No f**king way!"

    Maybe, or could be a marmotte.

    “I’m reading things in social networks that aren’t real,” Rodriguez said. “With three kilometres to go, it was he [Valverde] who said ‘Attack, and I’ll leave a gap.’ He said it clearly, and thanks to him, the group split and I was in front.

    “I played my hand, knowing that if they caught me, Valverde would win the sprint because he only had to watch Rui Costa, since I had tired Nibali [by making him chase].

    "We had it in our hands. Either I won or he did. We were the strongest and it depended on us."

    Asked if they had cleared the air since, Rodriguez simply said: “After the Worlds, that night we said what we had to say. Every one of us has his own point of view.”

    --

    Rodriguez returned to racing at Milano-Torino on Wednesday, finishing 17th, and he lines up at the Tour of Lombardy on Sunday aiming for his second successive win, a triumph that could also lead to a third WorldTour title in four years.

    “It will be very complicated because Froome still has 80 points of an advantage. To win, I’d have to finish first or second and he would have to score no points,” Rodriguez. “In any case, even if I don’t win the WorldTour, it wouldn’t be bad to finish the year by winning in Lombardy. After everything that’s happened, I’d like to finish with a good taste in my mouth.”

    Should he fail to move ahead of Froome on Sunday, Rodriguez suggested that he could be tempted to line up at the final WorldTour event, the Tour of Beijing. “Yes, I’m not excluding it because winning the WorldTour is very important for me.”

    I really hope he takes the title again.
