T-Bob Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Dave B... oh dear. Now Sky are set for a bad year unless someone can take the Vuelta, fairly certain the teams sponsorship is back up for renewal this year as well. As much as I wanted twiggy to be in the tour he wasn't at mountain weight and had been adding Kg pre classics and was adding more for his move back to the track so it would be a big ask to be challenging in the hills.

Wiggo scheduled for Vuelta I read somewhere
Plentipotential Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 As I said before... for the manager of Sky.... he didn't want to take wigging with...now they have no one !!! Amateur move by them !!! Go Tinkoff-saxo!!! History has shown that 2 leaders on a team = disaster. Anyway Wiggins was never fantastic in the wet.
jcza Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 The last time the reigning Tour de France winner started and abandoned the Tour was in 1980 (Bernard Hinault did not start in stage 13).
gtr1 Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 I wish we could have a Paris Roubaix with weather like this again.
gummibear Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Eish.....a really bad day at the office for these guys.
Paul Ruinaard Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Paul Sherwen's comment; " Looks like Cyclocross out there" Watching on TV whilst working and they are on cobbles in the pissing rain. What a day. I wouldn't want to be a pro rider today The TdF is being shaken up properly today. Maybe even decided, by elimination. So sorry for Froome
gummibear Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 This sector is rof CX bikes anyone? Loads of CX brake levers but haven't seen any bikes
'Dale Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 From CN live: Contador looks to be on his own but he'll need to work because he's losing time to his main rival. Garmin have Talansky with Nibali so they are helping to put time into the Spaniard.
Meerkat82 Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 very sad for Froome.... he probably has problems sleeping as well with such an aching body, but I think the wrist injury played a part in the handling of his bike today..... after all he is only human.
pe3nguin Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Eish.....a really bad day at the office for these guys. More like its a really bad day for us to be at the office
