Honestly, I'd love for Tinkoff to end up sponsoring/owning Sky. I can't imagine two less compatible people than him and Dave.

what the fuck was "La Datcha" anyway?

A posh Lada.

Oh, I wonder who owns Bahrain Merida - from wiki

Sheikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa is a member of the Bahraini royal family and the commander of Bahrain's Royal Guard and president of the Bahrain Olympic Committee. He denies allegations that he has ever personally tortured anyone.

not something I've ever had to deny, but right...fine...

And it's a very specific denial. "Yeah no I never tortured anyone personally. I refuse to say anything about who was tortured by a guy next to me though..."
