    Pish. Why would they fire Brailsford, and why would they hire t'other?

    So they will continue to win GTs with Sir at the helm...

    Not sure this thread has good legs.

    To expand: How will the team with (probably) the biggest bidget and the greatest depth of talent* conspire to not win a single GT out of 15?

    *and their budget precludes any injuries, retirements or suspensions from depleting that pool of talent in any meaningful way if we're considering a period of 5 years.

    You do realise that they do completely different jobs don't you.

    I'm pretty sure he would, if people refuse to bite.

    You think that if folks ignored the bait and didn't respond he wouldn't let it go and move on?

    Given that over the last few weeks, nearly every comment he has made has been a jab at Sky or Brailsford, even in threads that have nothing to do with them.....no

    It's a double shame because when he is not doing so Maca makes well informed, usually funny posts, but there is a hint or rayjay or rundfhart about this particular bee in his bonnet.

    My rolling eyse were more about being labelled "Sky sensitive" though

    Yeah? Well that's just, like, your opinion man.

    It is. But I don't think he's claiming it as fact..... It's a bold statement nonetheless.

    You're being very undude.

    I finished last night off with a Westmalle Tripel. That it was my final beer before the Omloop cyclo in 2 weeks attests to its quality.

    You should probably almost have it out of your system by two weeks :-)
