You'd think so.

No reason he should be able to help Sky get more wins. Disgraceful.

I thought only Americans and Trump were racist and Europeans were basically perfect?!?!?!
Don't take me too seriously. The only person that doesn't hate Froome.

looking forward to seeing Porte on Froome's wheel.

To be cynical this Moscon / Reza thing is a gift horse, if Sky kicked him off the race, or even Team.

Sky saying "will Deal with it internally" is the worse option in every way.

You dont want a disgruntled ex-Sky rider out there talking.

Kevin accepted and that was nice that the two guys could shake hands and that there was an apology. There’s no excuse for that but we moved on.”


Shake hands and we moved on? A bit easy for behaviour like this.... But then again it's Sky, not really a team with a high moral standard.

I found quite a few different measurements and just used the first one in Google, which had 80.5cm and a 130 with spacers on a 57.


I guess most is down to have "trust" in these different measurements and accept they could be slightly different (different person taking them or even different measurement during different times of the season. I know a VERY good pro changing quite often his saddle height, and not by small margins!) :beerchug:

Shame on Moscon, K.Reza is a nice guy and he reacted well.

Now that Froome is out of contention they can send Moscon home

Sky need Moscon to sign another contract with them so Sky is babying Moscon on this matter.

Some serious cherry picking there. He meant that between the two riders they'd moved on, but clearly stated there would be more action and discipline to come between the team and Moscon.

I do agree that the discipline should have included immediately withdrawing him from the race, but you don't need to twist what they're saying to make it sound even worse (because let's face it, it's bad enough anyway).

Interesting question is, would sky have done anything had Seb Reichenbach not said something on Twitter?

Porte looked amazing yesterday, I'm going to root for him during the TT. He has the ability to nail this, it's going to be a good indicator of the TT form of Yates too.

would any team have done anything if the same happened to their riders, had Reichenbach or anyone not said something on twitter?
