    That's what I pointed out to the missus, lined up steaming up a steep climb with everyone else falling out of the back.... only Contador able to keep up...... frantic radio messages from base 'slow down, slow down....' .

    Looks like we're back in the old days, these things don't just happen, they've been preparing all winter.
    I don't really like to dwell on that side of the sport as there's plenty of others who can fill that void but Jesus Christ on this particular occasion it looks bloody odd. Out on our club ride yesterday there were many, many comments made on it but I won't put them on here!

    People said the same about Sky in 2012. Same tactics, but Sky were more successful.

    Good for you.

    That's all I have to say to you on the matter as I have zero desire to go in some long circular discussion with you like I have witnessed on the stage 10 thread.
    Well that's me told, isn't it? :)

    On Pro Cycling Manager?

    Maybe he is just missing his buddies on Tenerife. They appear to be having a whale of a time:

    They certainly did, the speculation will never cease in this sport, I don't normally comment on such things but this stood out to me as a "WTF" moment.
