2014 Pro-cycling season thread

He said they were riding hard for training load for more important things later in the year.

And that's bollocks, if they did say that. They will and do go out riding before and after stages in smaller races.

It was sarcasm, he was saying their tactics were designed to tire them out, to make even less effective on later, more important stages of Romandie.

Not racing to train is one of Sky's core philosophies, as I understand.

Anyway, it was crap tactics.
