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. I think a journo asked who else is looking good to help him in the tour and he answered.

Yeah but does training form always translate into racing form?

No but testing fitness for a GT domestique is relatively easy and accurate and it doesn't happen in races it happens in a lab at Sky. Froome will know a bit about who's on track with their training for the tour.
