Tour de France 2015

Patron saint of piss ups

Did Sagan win today's stage then?

Eddy Merckx mugged him in the sprint. Second again.

tbf, it was a nice hat

Jens' interview just now on itv 4 was superb

Oh god, the power data wasn't enough so now it's Sky's body weight lies that must be exposed.

It would be simpler to pick fault with 6% fudge factyor that handily pulls it below 6 w/kg.

Quelle surprise

I don't know how boring you have to be if you're Vayer/Kimmage/Digger Forum, but it's pretty fucking boring isn't it? Actually that said Kimmage seems to be mostly steering clear of all the crap being spouted this year. And his life was somewhat ruined by it all, so I'd forgive his bitter boring drone.

There will always be something, you can't prove a negative.

But Sky seriously need to get a handle on their press and PR. They have consistently been utterly stupid, and never learn from previous Tours.

OK Jimmy. Hoe would you handle it?
Let's move away from ar!chair coaching, dope accusations, pretending to be scientists. Determining which way is best to ride a gt.

What should sky's PR strategy be?

When I was at University I lived with two Jocks who constantly slagged off the English. Not I'm not that patriotic or nationalistic but after listening to them have a go for hours on end made me suddenly become that, I had to defend what they were attacking because they did with such venom and also such bullshit too.

It's the same for Froome. Never been his biggest fan but you find yourself warming to him and sticking up for him just because of the sheer bloody-mindedness of dickheads who use an anti-doping crusade to pedal their own agenda. Remember UCI_Overlord? It's the same sort of characters as him doing it, Vayer and Digger (not Kimmage though) and the clinic cretins.

Employ Wiggins as a full time PR rep, obviously.

Not that I'm patroiotic, or nationalistic, but Jocks is possibly not a great PR step.

@dan bantzallround

Who is @Digger_forum ? Is it known?

Some sad fuck of a teacher in Cork, I believe.

The main problem with Sky was all their ludicrous 'zero tolerance' nonsense and their failure to live up to their own standards.

If they'd taken a more pragmatic approach and acknowledged the sport's history instead of secretly hiring doping doctors etc then they might not be getting such a rough ride (geddit?!) now.

Yeah I unfollowed. Boring.

Kimmage has his moments

Triffic Rodders,
Carlton Kirby or David Millar! Rock and a hard place.
Thank heavens for the mute button !
BTW, what model Oakleys WAS Geraint wearing?

BT

white Jawbones of some kind

Aren't they just jawbones?

Or split jackets?

shit ones
