Yet everyone gets upset about a few extra puffs of the asthma inhaler

[maquisard]

Neither does Di Gregorio have an MBA management clown like Brailsford managing him and professing to be the cleanest team in the world!

Their GM Frédéric Rostaing was quoted as saying that the cycling team project was based on ethics. Sound familiar?

[maquisard]

No, because it is not a marketting led farce like Team Sky!

Hahaha you mean they’re not winners?

[pastronef]

No, because it is not a marketting led farce like Team Sky!

and like Movistar, Astana, Katusha, Bahrain, etc etc

[wingguy]

What does that actually mean?

By the way, are you still happy with Lappartient’s leadership on the Froome thing? It’s good to have a man of action wrapping it up quickly, rather than an ineffectual clown letting it drag on and on, right?

eheheh Lappartient nouvelle vague?
rules are the same, under Cookson or under Lappartient. rules have to change. let´s see if Lappy really wants that.

[Leviathan]

So when he handed over the UCI to Lappartient, Brian Cookson gave him two envelopes.Cookson told the froggie to open one envelope each time there was trouble at the UCI, and follow the instructions.

After Froomes overdose, Lappertient opened the first envelope which said "Blame it all on your predecessor"...which he did

Anyone wanna take a guess what instruction the second envelope contained? ..."Write these same two notes and stick em in two envelopes..."

[guyc]

Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.

[TonyM]

I like the fact that the new UCI president shows everybody that the current rules don't allow him to do a lot!
And this has to change IMHO!

Did anybody saw a closer picture of the bibs in Roubaix?

They appear to be printed on the jersey, it seems? And not just Sagan's.
Or?

Sorry your comment does not make sense- are you refer to his skin suit with black lower “bibs” and white upper jersey?

[mrgray]

yes what sort of kit is he in? is it a skinsuit? that bike is in poor taste in my opinion. the gold is terribly gauche. also roval wheels make me sick. those sunglasses look very good though (and a million times better than the previous model he was wearing).

I think he is referring to the bib numbers.
