Yeah... and he did manage to pull the trick off a lot of times already
I believe Noodley was just looking for a good excuse to use "Nobber" once more (not that he needs an excuse even)

I stuck Dombrowski in my fantasy squad, fell for the hype.Looks like Sky have another dud, much like the coulda shoulda Tiernan-Locke.

Yes I think thought they won the tdf everything seems to have been a struggle, even in the tdf the team didn't really pan out as planned

Teejay wins the TT - neither Froome nor Porte even in the Top 10 - why exactly did Sky bother sending them to this race? They don't appear to be doing very much.

Sky have sent a lot of their Tour team, presumably to get them back into the swing of proper racing after their post-Tour break (as well as Porte and Froome, there's Kennaugh & Siutsou). Porte commented in an interview that he found the racing much tougher than expected, so it's probably a good wake-up call for them ahead of the Worlds.
Also, better to have won the Tour and not do so well here than the other way round, eh, Tejay?
I suppose it was also partly a question of who wasn't in Poland, and who isn't going to Spain.

Ummm, new US sponsor...
Froome learned he needed to spend more than a couple of days acclimatising to the altitude, which is higher than Kenya. He's never raced this high before - he commented on gaining good form before the Worlds. There are various interviews with Sky riders, including Froome, linked to from steephill's summary page.

Sagan wins a 4th stage... to be fair though, he doesn't seem to be facing a huge amount of competition in this race.
