Re: Re: A breakout GC performance as a domestique. Sky love this move.

Re: I don't want to argue that It means the UEFA model. You asked if we thought the financial fair play would work in cycling. I had to look the term up, and make a guess as to what you meant. But, thank you for clarifying that financial fair play means financial fair play, and that we can...

Had to google financial fair play. First thing that pops up is UEFA Financial Fair Play regs wiki page. Not sure if this is if this is what you're speaking of in terms of FFP... I'm not sure how this concept could be applied to cycling, as the boiled down definition appears to be a club can...

Re: Re: The Sky swanny seems to accelerate rapidly as well... while toting two bags, and a water bottle in hand.

Re: Re: I would say see paragraph 11 of Libertine's post. I would also say that post-Festina, Post-Puerto, Post-Floyd, Rasmussen, Clentador, Reasoned Decision etc.... the way the game is played is understood or can be understood by fans. It's a difficult pill to swallow, but rather than...

Re: Re: Many thanks for the feedback. If I get a chance to rewatch, I'll try to view with this in mind.

Re: This is inline with my observations of the race this year. I don't think there was any real point where he was in danger, but his riding style has always made it hard to tell if his legs are going to fall off, or if he's going to make the most blistering attack ever witnessed in the sport...

Re: Post-2015, he seems to have controlled the urge to go full ***. In 2017 he couldn't seem to string 2 good days of racing in a row until the Dauphine. And since the 2015 physiological testing, he appears less engaged trying to sell himself as being clean. I would imagine he had limited...

Perhaps Pinot was holding back a bit for the following stage - which he won.

So, all this B.S. because Froome couldn't wrap his head around what being Plan B in the 2012 meant? How unfortunate.

Bingo! The various clips you've provided have been, in my view, very much at odds with the soft spoken guy that he presents himself to be in interviews.... and much more in line, imho, with, well... a former twitterer.

It was actually the Tour of the European Economic Community between 1986 and 1990. Unclear if there were age restrictions or not... but doubtful, as Marc Madiot and Laurent Fignon won the 1987 and 1988 editions. Based on the coverage I've seen on youtube, apart from the event having linkages...

Seems like Basso has a preoccupation with food. ;) http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/puerto-trial-fuentes-panicked-over-lack-of-supplies-for-basso
