Richie has already fired the first shots by suggesting that he and Dumoulin and a few others will have to gang up against Sky if they want to have any chance of beating them in 2019. To his credit he only had good things to say about Chris and also did not jump on that boring "big budget" excuse. .

There a only few riders out there who could/could've arrange a team up against Sky.. and it isn't Porte..

 

It's funny that he says that if I recall correctly they all teamed up against him last year at the Dauphine..and he ended up losing that stage race.

Hey now. Don't forget everyone's favourite cheat, Mister Pharmacy counter-top himself. He also seems to get a pass from the Hub.

I was at the chemist yesterday to pick up some antibiotics, the pharmacist seemed like a cool guy, so I told him about the Darryl “Cyclings God” Impey’s story.

 

He actually started laughing out loud. Like a real world LOL

Didn’t he also have a little moan about that?

Yes he did say that at the time and it did not really go down well.. it was as if he expected the others to give him an easy ride in the yellow jersey.

 

He must certainly still prove that he is more than a brilliant domestique in a Grand Tour.... leading a team successfully in a GT takes much more than being a very good rider.

And then some..

 

Porte can climb, Porte can TT but when it comes to race smarts he has none..we've seen this some and time again.

Giani Moscon has accepted 5-week suspension from UCI for taking a swing at Elie Gesbert on Stage 15 of Tour de France. Brailsford: “Gianni is still a relatively young rider... We will continue to give him help and support he needs to learn, develop and move forward.”

Back in time to be DQ from worlds again.

It's funny, I was listening to a podcast an there was one pro at this years tour being interviewed and he was talking about how breaks go for the day and who has a go. He saying often if you think there is a stage that looks good you'll txt some mates / riders the night before on other teams that you know can work well, have same goals and will get some rope from the peloton. Then you work out the details, they tell their DS, their DS tells your DS and off you go. 

 

Maybe none of the other GC guys want to share their number with Ritchie. :(

It’s a perfect snack to ease the appetite until Vuelta
