For those undaunted by words of more than five letters the article has some interesting comments on the pro-peloton-doping-dilemma.

Dealing with the protracted Sky-siege-for-Wiggins, his crown jewel, was not the sole factor inching the hapless Vawt towards insanity. The bespectacled-one also had his hands full coaching a gifted part-Eskimo... who made his blood boil.
Jonathan Vaughters on the enigmatic Tom Danielson:
https://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/news/...danielson.html
Q/
"Jonathan, I have discovered that you have one of the most talented riders in the world on your team. His values are incredible, like Contador. He can win some very big races, I am sure."
/Q
Q/
This is the cause of the maddening unpredictability we see in Tom....
He was seeing stars on every training ride, and had given up all of his favourite foods. He was eating like an Eskimo, but still training hard. It took time and discipline for him to adapt.

Given that this thread has been resurrected and seems to be confined to the discussion of Pro riders, I'm going to move it to a better home.

A dose of Wiggo to inspire you to pedal-off the Christmas pudding.
Bradley Wiggins: The transformation:
https://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/news/...formation.html
Q/
At Heathrow airport, Wiggins saw Jonathan Vaughters, who told him the line about turning a miler into a marathon runner. "You can turn a miler into a marathon runner, but you can't do it the other way round."
"He said he'd seen what I'd done on the track and couldn't understand why I kept getting dropped on the road," says Wiggins.
/Q
Q/
The aim was to start the '09 Tour at 72kg. It stands to reason that if you can produce 450 watts for 10 minutes weighing 72kg instead of 78, the gain in performance is going to be considerable.
/Q
Q/
"In a ten-mile time trial I averaged 482 watts for 18 minutes, and if I did a 30-minute test on a climb I'd be averaging 475 watts. At 72kg that gives me a chance."

Should Wiggo falter... Here's Plan B Waiting in the wings:
Team Sky's Peter Kennaugh has Tour de France success in his mind's eye:
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/oth...minds-eye.html
Q/
A precocious talent from the off, the young Kennaugh is one of the latest products of the British Cycling Academy in Quarrata in the Tuscan foothills 30 minutes drive from Florence. Half boot camp, half cycling finishing school, it is where our top youngsters learn their roadcraft.

One of the more interesting articles on Team Sky's launch.
At the Team Sky launch: We have lift-off
https://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/news/...-lift-off.html
Q/
Control is the key word here. British Cycling controls the controllables and it seeks to minimise the uncontrollable. The reality is...
/Q
Notable nibbles:
Skodas for punters: Jags for our Lads.
And a Beatles déjà vu moment for:
Sean Yates, Bradley Wiggins and Russell Downing
Incidentally, Lance Armstrong is elsewhere claimed to have said of Team Sky Coach Sean Yates;
"He taught me everything I know."
A comment which begs more than a few questions.
