ScottCM Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 If i were Dave i would have told Chris to shut up and play it as if he cracked. That will surely put the doping speculations to be once and for all.

Bianchisti Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 Not sure why they bother giving Oleg the attention. Goes to show, sometimes it's not what you say but how you say it. Wasn't it Wiggo who was once quoted as saying..... "Frankly, I've been riding like a girl. And that's no disrespect girls, I've got one at home myself...." I think, he was quick to correct himself after uttering the first sentence though.
Gen Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 Team Tinkoff just lost all my support.Oleg is the Donald Trump of cycling. A PR nightmare... self obsessed, entitled pain in the butt. And because of that all the positive changes he would like to see in cycling will never happen. We can only hope that he gets bored and tired of losing money and sell the team end of 2016.
Bianchisti Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 They should've just laughed him off for the joke he is. Not being taken seriously would be just about the worst thing for the likes of him.
HappyMartin Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 Oleg is a total plonker. That's hardly news. I don't mind if a person is a plonker, that's their own business but a plonker with a poor turn of phrase and no sense of humor is just boring. Anyway I'm off to the Lady Pros thread to check out for myself how girls ride. Last time I checked, yesterday, they rode like demons and had a lot of style, finess and beauty. A total win.
nochain Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 Not good at all that Froome crashed yesterday!!I think this was the closest we might have gotten to someone doing the double for some time. In years to come it will become harder for him to win the tour and that will make it just that much harder to do a double.I am hoping now that Rodrigues can take this because he has been so close to winning a grand tour on so many occasions that he really deserves a win. That and I just don't like Aru!!Would also like to see Majka do well, hopefully a podium. Let see what Meintjes can do now, would be great if he can keep that top 10 all the way. Hope he has a good TT.Did you guys see Landa's comment about being ordered to wait for Aru?Seems he decided that it was a stupid idea and kept on riding.

TBH I think Landa was right to say it would be stupid for him to stop in that situation. If his legs were good (and clearly they were), there wasn't anyone else in the break who was better than him, so the win was there for the taking. On the other hand from what I've heard, Landa is a difficult personality to handle (not a team player) and this isn't the first time he's ignored team instructions and rode for himself. Sound like another LA who insists the whole team revolves around his needs and aspirations. Will be interesting to see how he fits into his new team.

There were signs during the Giro that he isn't a team player. Look maybe now that he has his stage win he will ride for Aru, but I reckon there is some tension at Astana... AGAIN. A matter of... well I am leaving in any case so go screw you lot

Gen Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 I think he is similar to LA in more ways than one. No we've discussed this... SKy would never sign a dodgy rider
HappyMartin Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 No we've discussed this... SKy would never sign a dodgy rider Actually cycling is clean now. We have discussed this. No more dodgy riders at all.
