• In defence of Sky, it must be pretty herd for any team to hire anyone from that period who isn't tainted by association or deed. Banning those with a history from being involved in the sport would decimate most set ups.

    I don't think that their (Sky's) performances are that suspicious when you factor in the tactics they used through building a team tailored to win the TDF and the fact there wasn't a standout individual talent up against them in this tour (e.g contador)' coupled with a route that was about as perfect for Brad and the Sky setup as you could get.
