I don't know much, so it may be pish, but this Guardian article mentions... Orica-Greenedge rumours

I'd imagine they have offers from all sorts of teams now. I think Adam doing brilliantly at L'Avenir and subsequently getting World Tour interest may have put a spanner in the works from Sky's perspective; now the brothers have the option to go pro as a duo if they wish.
Orica might be a good landing spot for them. Sky obviously make sense, as Simon in particular looks a potential hilly classics sort, and Sky could use one or two of them - but they have a raft of youngsters already.0 -
Just back ... First time I've been at a finish and pretty awesome it was too,. Crowds 10 deep on both sides and could see all the way up from the flamme rouge. Pretty remote part of dartmoor and hundreds had cycled their0

That's cycled there...0

Jeez, Hughie Porter, I know he won the world pursuit title in 1872 but he must be the most cliche riddled, irritating commentator on British TV. I even prefer Kill Liggitt.

T-shirt weather at the top of Haytor by the afternoon - lovely. Hugh Porter is considerably less irritating than Carlton Kirby, but he's being put out to grass anyway.0

He drives me nuts in the Tour series with his 'attacks off the front' ! Had a long chat with him and his wife (Anita Lonsbrough, but I'm sure you knew that) on a plane and he's a lovely fella.0 -

Why does he keep saying 'the peleton is about to implode' when he means the opposite?
Cheese missed off the highlights. This isn't good for sponsorship, and I wanted to see what a Beenliegh blue looked like (I've googled it now, but I wanted to see it on the podium).
Good stage though, bigger crowds than most of the Vuelta.0 -
The cheese:

I'll always tolerate Porter as he got the crowd to give me support in the Abergavenny crits back in the early 90s when I'd been dropped!0

Haven't read back to see if anyone said it but did anyone else spot the fat ba*tard in sky kit hanging around behind Ned and the blithering, over-nerved, over-stylised Matt Stephens waffling at the end of the itv4 coverage?0

That was priceless - my wife and I were in absolute stitches!0 -
Here he is in all his glory.

Are you sure he isn't one of the proper sky team?0

Bit harsh on Wiggo that, he's admitted to bulking up for the Worlds TT.0

I wouldn't help wondering if it was someone from this forum........0

Oh christ on a bike, what's my dad doing out in Devon. He's only supposed to ride the bike on the turbo since his stroke!
He got a personalized Sky kit for his birthday recently and this is what he looks like in it.Correlation is not causation.0 -
I've just mananged to get ITV Player to work, to watch the stage, and though it was a shame it was a bit short, again I think Devon can be proud of the stage and the crowds it produced ... helped by better weather than stages earlier in the week got. Had the stage been on the Saturday I think Haytor would have looked more like Alpe d'Huez with the crowds that would have been there.briantrumpet wrote:Pross wrote:I love the fact that 6 Mile Hill is.......4.8km in length0
