    In recent races, They have been shuffling Boswell from race to race and never starting him anywhere.

    Today, the “started” with 6 riders, one finished and one didn’t even start…

    What is going on with them?

    70 Nathan Earle
    DNF Danny Pate
    DNF David Lopez
    DNF Josh Edmondson
    DNF Ian Boswell
    DNF Richie Porte
    DNS Chris Froome

    Thoughts…..

    I have to disagree with this. Uran is a man with grand tour GC ambitions, and its clear that Sky have a pecking order where GCs are concerned. Previously it was Wiggins before Froome, now its Froome before Porte. Uran was realistically never going to get a team lead role unless the ‘A’ rider suffered a miss fortune, much as we saw with Wiggins at the Giro last year. At Omega Pharma Uran gets to be the ‘A’ rider in grand tours.

    Sky was the only team in
    Sky was the only team in Liege Bastogne Liege with only a single rider finishing – since they were not in the running it just became a training ride. A bit more respect for the 100th edition of LBL is certainly deserved. Same happened in Flèche Wallonne and Amstel Gold – only two Sky riders finished the race.

    They are going to win fuck
    They are going to win fuck all of any significance this year.
    Cant see where any victories (esp GC) are going to come from.

    In my opinion.

    Dont know why Froome did not
    Dont know why Froome did not start as for Porte he’s been unwell for a while and perhaps its just a leg warmer for him ?

    Problem is with Sky is that they have been so succesfull since they launched that when they dont perform everyone assumes that somethings up. Like all teams they will have rough patches as well as smooth and i dont think i can ever recall them doing well in the classics.
