Might as well just strap some JATO's on the bike.

>Richie Porte, however, continues to cede ground, and is now over 4 minutes down.
>The Australian told us that yesterday's stage was 'a disaster but not too much of a disaster'. I think it's fair to say this stage can be classed as 'too much of a disaster'. His hopes of another Paris-Nice title seem dead and buried.

>Cyclingnews has learned that several Team Sky riders have held discussions over whether to approach Dave Brailsford and ask him to step down.
>The Team Sky manager has been at the centre of a major controversy over the team's medical practices. UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) have launched a full investigation into whether the team and British Cycling committed a doping violation in 2011 when a medical package was transported from Manchester to the Criterium du Dauphine in 2011 to treat Bradley Wiggins.
>According to a source among the riders, the continued questions over the team's credibility have started to impact on performance.
>"There is a concern over the impact that this may have on the current season and the distraction it is all causing for Dave Brailsford and the other management," a Team Sky rider told Cyclingnews.
>The rider did not want to be named for obvious reasons and the line coming out of the camp at Paris-Nice has been one of business as usual. However, according to our source, several riders have started to discuss whether Brailsford should step down. Any move would need to be trigged by a consensus within the camp with the high profile riders needing to address their concerns directly to the manager.
>"With a team that is so focused on details, things are starting to slip through the cracks because people's attentions are elsewhere," the rider told Cyclingnews.
>"No one in the team, currently, is involved in this controversy other than Dave. What's it going to take for the team to get on with racing?"
MARGINAL LOSSES

believe it or not your body triggers a response to disregard that urge outright. I've done dozens of century rides and not even once did I ever compelled to shit- you'd have to either eat a multi-course meal while riding or have a stomach bug
>>74530336
Not again ffs, not again
>>74530336
>No one in the team, currently, is involved in this controversy other than Dave
Dave is a cunt but these cowards are an incredible amount of shit
>>74530336
They will all get busted one day
>Team Sky riders voice support for Brailsford
>Geraint Thomas leads Twitter storm in support of Team Sky boss after Cyclingnews report
>Thomas
>Kwiatkowski
>Rowe
>Viviani
>Kennaugh
>Van Poppel
>Doull
>Geoghegan Hart
