    Teams & Riders Froome Talk Only

    Something else that doesn't add up. One day we hear how Sky is all about marginal gains, in fact, posting all of their people up and down the road on the Giro to make sure Froomie is properly hydrated, fed etc. But when convenient, he is dehydrated to the point that it completely throws off his...

    Todays idiot masters fattie doper

    Re: Re: Thanks for the chuckle on the stages! A crash interrupted my travels at stage 2. Now, I help the young ones with their aspirations and do the occasional race with no major concern to placing, and most of all, I avoid the crazy sprint finishes that usually end in a crash.

    All About Salbutamol

    Found on reddit in the the r/peloton sub...excellent points/counterpoints on this analysis in the sub as well, not going to post all of it but worth a read. I'm guessing he was snorkeling his inhaler but what do I know. http://www.feltet.dk/nyheder/laeserbrev_ingen_tvivl_om_at_froome_snyder/...

    2016 TdF, Stage 12: Montpellier → Mont Ventoux (178km)

    So, running without a bike is ok? I'd neutralize and give him a small penalty for running.

    Al Jazeera investigation into doping (NFL, Manning etc.)

    Re: Re: NFL media, and media in general, are steering clear of it for now. But I don't think Al J. is done quite yet. More to come.

    The Froome Files, test data only thread

    Re: Re: I've followed these discussions from a distance and am wondering, aloud now, is there another example of a GT dominant rider who had no appreciable results in any discipline (track, GTs, one day races/classics, even crits, etc.) and through weight loss become the greatest GT rider of...

    The Froome Files, test data only thread

    My understanding is body scan actually shows a higher body fat %, 5% + I've seen in published journals.

    The Froome Files, test data only thread

    Well said. Another thought: the last time I was at 17% body fat I had been inactive for 6 weeks due to a serious injury (I'm a former Futbol player/cyclist). I basically slept and ate and drank coffee with lots of cream. Also my beer intake was significant. My weight was high and my conditioning...

    Stage 19: Saint-Jean-de-Maurienn - La Toussuire-Les Sybelle

    Don't think Nibali is a "danger" to Froome at this point. Much ado about nothing.

    Where can I get that special Sky pillow?

    RIIS bails OUT ?

    I have to believe he has a "buyout" clause in the contract.

    Team Saxo Bank with a new bank co-sponsor?

    If the rumors are true about doping revelations, how will he be able to stay on for 4 years?
