ok, so OPQS have their team camp this week with the obligatory (for them) set up of riders being dumped in a forest and shouted out by military fitness peeps.

HOW IS CAV GOING TO COPE?? :)

    Is it too mean to suggest that living with Peta might be good practice?
    We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

    I suspect Peta has the worst of that deal. Cav is a right moaning little sh*t. I thought I was a grumpy pr*ck, but I'm sure he has me beat :shock:

    Pffft. Saxo have a more "proactive" method of fostering team-spirit.

    They're giving them guns :

    s'pose that'd be one way of incentivising Nico to finally get a GT stage win

    but sorry, LangerDan, a camp that involves banana boats is hardly hard-core
  • Wow you think OPQS is good. Check out what Roche says about Saxo's:

    Contador is the Greatest

    Nico loved the banana boat the best. We all know this.

    erm...all that says is that he's better GT rider than Roche - not sure there's anyone that disagrees with that....

    (or that he speaks spanish better than a Franco-irishman and a Dane)

    he's also failed more drugs tests than Roche
  • Also he's not as good a grand tour rider as Indurain.

    Or Armstrong, he was a great climber and TTer.
  • Sickly Tommeke...had to skip the camp (bet he was devastated)

    I have a policy of only posting comment on the internet under my real name. This is to moderate my natural instinct to flame your fatuous, ill-informed, irrational, credulous, bigoted, semi-literate opinions to carbon, you knuckle-dragging f***wits.
  • there are a couple of cracking pics coming out of the team-building, of Cav looking WTF. Can someone less technically inept than me, post 'em up? one in particular has just made me laugh so much, tea I was drinking just shot out of my nose

    He did OK. World Champs, Fleche W, San Sebastian, Tour du Pont. Basically the Alessandro Ballan of the 90s

    LOL @ Cav's face. I'm useless with heights as well.
  • That's SO NOT what he signed up for when he turned pro :lol:

    Cyclingnews accurate as ever (sic) with their sub-heading 'More team building for the team which dominated 2012'

    Think CN missed off the crucial word 'Classics'
