Wouldnât surprise me if Wiggins pulls out and instead âpreparesâ for the TDF.[/quote]
Have to be more careful with Walsh following them around as well sure.
David Walshâs arse licking tweets are almost unbearable today. Whatâs happened this guy?
Iâm hoping heâs lulling Sky into a false sense of securityâŚ
Its sickening alright
He is a soup taker.
SBW has pulled out of Giro
So has Ryder Hesjedal
Even now Walsh is sickening. Doctor said he wouldnât let his son ride with that condition. It was his knee that was the problem yesterday according to Walsh. Heâs a one man propaganda machine for Sky.
David obviously believes Sky are 100% clean.
Nibali emerges from the mist to get second on the stage today and looks to have a stranglehold on the pink jersey now. Santambrogio wins the stage and has a good chance of a podium on this form.
Todayâs stage is an uphill 26km time trial.
As a spectacle itâs going to be awful until they reach the top 5. Iâm not sure this works at all as there are 150 odd riders just riding up the hill, not too bothered about their time.
I hate these bar stool cycling fans. The An Post RĂS is in full flow around Ireland, yet these guys only bang on about some event in Italy.
I was at a talk in the Grand Canal Theatre a few weeks ago with Walsh and Kimmage and hosted by that prick Alan English and it got feisty enough at times between Walsh and Kimmage when it came to Sky. Kimmage has major doubts about Wiggers and the team but Walsh was defending them. I was surprised to see how cringey his tweets have been the last week or so as he came across as much more the alrighter sort that evening.
2007 Giro winner Danilo Di Luca has tested positive for EPO.
Itâs his third offence so I think thatâs him done. Heâs only 29th at the moment so they werenât even producing the required results.

Not really surprised. Wonder what heâd have been like without the doping? Really aggressive rider but was that just a product of the doping? Doubt he ever rode clean.
âDoping is a weakness, period. But itâs disappeared from cycling and other sportsâ Danilo Di Luca interviewed by La Gazzetta on Wednesday
Thatâs cause the rest have moved onto something better and undetectable

Fucks sake. His continued presence in the sport has been a joke. Life bans for these jokers when they are caught.
Doubt it as well. It is in the DNA of an Italian to be a cheat.
