2014 Pro-cycling season thread

I read that peice: Froome is pulling rank I reckon, Porte is looking good? How exactly? He hasn't turned a pedal in order since LBL. And even when he was he wasn't looking as strong as the year before. If Wiggins doesn't start in Yorkshire it will be down to Froome blocking it, and he'll be getting some boos from the side of the road from me if so.

I don't know, maybe the same way Saxo knew Rogers was good enough to ride the Giro after several months out? And Wiggins is the one who withheld money from Froome and then did sweet fuck all to support him in the World Championships last year, who hasn't raced with Froome all year and is suddenly keen to help him? He might be sincere but Froome doesn't owe Wiggins anything at all. If he can do without him in the team then why risk it?
On the other hand if you are going to boo him from the side of the road then I can see that that would be devastating for him and probably ruin his whole race.
