Is it ironic that I love GS Warriors yet I hate Team Sky?

Huge budget, they win in the most dull, demoralizing way possible, they have no likeable personalities.
They're one of those teams who will answer any question in the manner of "We train hard, we go out there with a plan and execute, we don't focus on the competition."

There is much more to it than that.

They said they would have nothing to do with anyone who was involved with doping then it turns out they hired a shady doctor
Their riders used exemptions so they could use drugs that are on the banned list "for medical reasons".
Their manager is a smug cunt who dismisses anyone who criticizes the team
They had drugs delivered to the middle of nowhere in France for Bradley Wiggins who won the race that year and embarrassed themselves trying to explain it.

This just adds to the suspicions of doping since they are by far the most dominant team and rider since Lance Armstrong.

Also they use the most boring robot tactics

Why don't they get squashed if they're as visible as Lance was, then?

>>77255249
Lance never actually got squashed until well after his career was over.

Both spot on here really

They have the dominance of the USPS team (without the personalities, at least USPS' riders had character) and the big budget/superteam feel of that Festina team from the mid-late 90s (again, without the personalities like Virenque, Brochard et al). The year they had Wiggins and Cavendish on the team they had a bit of swagger, but now they're very robotic.

Honestly I find Brailsford more irritating than a lot of previous team managers going back in the day.

Got the feeling that Team Sky's house of cards will come crumbling down at some point, it's been wobbling a bit. Unlike David Walsh and their ilk I've never subscribed to the Skypill.
