Simon Yates

Shown lots of character to bounce back after losing the Giro the way he did, probably the best climber in the world right now.

Hope him and Adam both target the Tour next year, could be a brilliant battle between them, Sky and Dumoulin

Close, but I'd give that to Froome. He was outstanding in the Giro

Only on the Zoncolan and Finiestre stages, Yates dropped him on several other stages (albeit Froome was fighting his way back into form and trying to peak for the Tour too). That’s why I want to see them both target the Tour fully next year

Absolutely brilliant winning the Vuelta a Espana.

wondered what had happened to him
used to like Our Tune - the music still gives me the goosebumps

Yep, unfinished business, although it depends on the course. Could be similar to this year again with Simon riding the Giro, Adam in the Tour again and both riding the Vuelta.

I’ve posted on here that he should have got a far longer ban...easiest thing in the world to get an underling to fess up that it was their admin balls up

I'm sure we had the conversation at the time

but you dont put Terbutaline down on your anti-doping form as a med you take if you're taking it to cheat

I cant believe people have already done all the Simon Bates jokes...damn you all!

Whenever I see his face, I am reminded of “sexual swearwords”

It wasn't as well known or as long running as "Our Tune" but I awlays thought that "Sexual Swearwords" was the best feature on his show.
