147 grams CO2, yet 20 MPG on a cruise? Nope.

160 HP? Is that all? And FWD. I have no idea. Those brown seats though.

Bit of something special from a brown package and that's an easy 250 at the wheels up Ventoux

Don't know much about cycling, or Team Sky, but weren't they the ones caught using performance enhancing drugs?

Maybe Maybe not....

Wiggins definitely was - he's admitted that - it's just a question of whether or not this was legal. This TUE (therapeutic use exemption) didn't conform to WADA's rules of the time, but the (shonky as hell) UCI doctor of the time signed off on them (three times - only before grand tours).

There are many other PEDs that can - and undoubtedly are - used legally, e.g. tramadol (opioid painkiller that Sky are widely said to use) and corticosteroids (what Wiggins had) if used out of competition.

Froome' salbutamol is also legal up to a certain dosage - he was way over that, so now his lawyers are working on this. (Remarkable comeback of his at the Giro d'Italia...)

So both Wiggins and Froome are drug cheats like Lance Armstrong?

Sky ... Believe in Better ... (not catch us cheating ...)

I must have missed Wiggins admitting using performance enhancing drugs?

Retains 75% of its value after 9 years and 100,000 miles? Wow.

I thought the same but then spotted £67k without options.

fking hell, I just bought a 40 foot yank RV of a similar age with every box ticked and only 7k on the clock for not much more than that

Granted uses more fuel and isn’t as easy to park but I know what I’d rather spend a weekend at a race circuit in!

Remarkable, absolutely. But also believable. Certainly nothing like Landis in the tour. Sky blew the race to pieces before Froome went off the front, half of Froome's time gain came on a descent, and there were only really two riders in the chase group who were riding. The planets aligned for him that day.

I think we’re supposed to believe that because they’re British (or claimed as such), they would never indulge in the skullgerry beloved by Johnnie Foreigner.

Although I am massively sceptic on that issue, myself ...
