Wasn’t that the same rumour that’s been circulating for a little while? Seems likely given they’re a Specialized team and seem to like these classics/one-day/stage win riders rather than GC riders.

Cataldo leaves Quickstep for Sky.

Hardly a one for one swap.

Not happy about Quick-Step at all.

Bloody laminate floors. 😡

Bloody laminate floors.

What / how many patterns can you get in Parquet ?. Going to have some laid soon.

What / how many patterns can you get in Parquet ?

Herringbone (single or double) is the most popular, but pretty much anything you desire – dependent on what dimensions of blocks you can find – is possible.

Don’t know the block dims 😳 . Herringbone does, indeed, seem popular. What have you laid and liked the result ?, theres been mention of basket weave.

EDIT:
Single or Double What is that ?, different types of H/B ?.

Single:

Double:

I’ve laid mostly herringbone and a few basket weave. Herringbone all the way for me. Anyway, we’re seriously OT.

MrsDarcy is disappointed by your reply…

😉

Actually, am I right in thinking radios aren’t going to be allowed in next years Tdf?

Ooh, didnt know… fantastic if true!

Anyway, we’re seriously OT

Sorry and thanks.

FWIW, After Sky’s demonstration of their commitment to GC duiring the TdF. I feel that if Cav has any ambitions in topping the records for stage wins/sprints. Then what has he to lose from finding a team that will work for him to take stages ?. Only issue now, might be who would allow him to prep for the next olympics ?.

Just watching him this summer on the web in the role of pundit for the bbc, it was clear to me that he’d love another go at gold in the velodrome.

Ahem…

Yeah, well done to Carbon for guessing correctly…..

Timing’s rather unfortunate…

Sky announce team pledge required re: doping history.
Cav announces he’s leaving Sky.

I see that as 100% a timing of press releases thing but not good.
