Is Sean Yates bitter?

[400bhp]

He became world champion in 1993, so he was a world beater then, but he claims not to have started doping until the mid-90s. Whether you believe that is another matter altogether ...

He probably had PEDs in his mamma's breastmilk.

To get back to the thread title.

Based on his latest comments - absolutely.

And apparently deluded and clearly deaf dumb and blind to what was going on around him. And for the icing on the cake, clearly on another world in wanting LA to write a forward to his book.

I got the impression Yates was talking about racing, rather than training and Sky have looked a bit gauche on the road at times this year (more so than last year when Yates was in the car).

There was an interview with Thomas about the classic season in which he admitted feeling unprepared race wise because there were so many weeks between races.

Yates has signed for Saxo.

You've got to admire a man who cares so little for his reputation.

Money talks and Yates has already worked for Riis, Astana and Disco, so he didn't have far to fall

Sky's obsession with numbers works for the track and tt but clearly doesn't in the classics. Boassen-Hagen, Stannard and Thomas could all have been winning these with more appropriate preparation.

They've won 2 of the last 3 tdfs, I don't think the training methods are all that bad. Maybe they aren't focussed on the classics (but didn't they have two riders in the top 10 this year - edit Paris roubaix) so much. And the methods seem to be spreading around the other teams as the riders move around.
