Could just be derailleur out of alignment?
It can catch on the bigger gear then jump back down to the smaller gear and it feels like the chain slipped round.
Get the bike up on a stand and try pedalling it with your hand. If it still does it, it's catching on the bigger gear not slipping.

I think the main problem here is that it's crazy dirty + rain washed off all the lube so it feels really stiff.. I'll give a clean tonight and re-lube my baby.. and see how it rides tomorrow.. but tonight looks like I'll have to ride home in a higher gear like I did on the way to work
it was working fine yesterday in rain! but I'll have to check it anyways as it's quite loud so you could well be right 
Could actually be a positive thing for Team Sky.
If he was up to something before, he clearly wasnt doing it after he joined Sky. His performance dropped significantly from 2012 when he won several stage races to 2013 where he wasnt even good enough to be selected in the Sky team for a lot of races.
Sky may have made a mistake in not spotting it when they signed him, but at least we can be fairly sure that he knew he wouldnt get away with it at Sky.

I think that's probably the way to look at it. The recent press from Paul Kimmage is pretty positive for Sky too.
Fails for not adhering to OCP rules
Very close though!
He's even matched up tyre logos with valve stems.

Like I said, it was only a quick one. Once the light outside is better & I have tithe time, I'll do some more with his little sister
Obviously! Who do you think I am?!
Since I only live less than 3 miles from work I try to do a slightly hilly loop on the way home, sometimes 15 miles and depending on whether the missus is at work or not in the evening.
Well tonight my chain snapped on a pitch black country lane about 6 miles from home. No spare link :/
Anyway, this bloke in a 4x4 stopped, helped me find my chain and gave me a lift home, in the opposite direction from where he was going. The best thing is he wasn't even a cyclist. Really top bloke and has restored my faith in humanity and people who drive cars
