Re: Re: I imagine a completely different design where the rotor magnet is the spoke and rim, with stator windings along the entire stays and seat tube. A 2.5lb brushless servo can generate 500W+. I can imagine a wheel structure design that creates 75W. I wonder if the reason sky are so...

I don't post much but here it is. When I first heard about motorized doping I hypothesised a brushless DC motor with the front wheel acting as the permanent magnet with stator windings in the forks. Battery storage could be anywhere in the frame. The kicker is that regenerative charging would...

Re: The Ugrumov, Pantani, Belli, Riis hairline is strong with a couple of those Sky riders.

Re: Re: I haven't followed this thread. What are the theories as to why Froome is so confident that they won't find anything in his samples for 10 yrs? he seemed very confident. Note: If you're Lance Froome 2.0 fanboy, don't bother with the "Because he's clean" replies.

Re: Re: Attacks by rivals 'look weak' when you have four donkeys riding for you that pull back virtually all attacks by the entire peleton.

I'm late to the thread. Looking at the bike check I thought of cleaver way to dope my bike. If you notice, they took the BB out and used a fiber optic camera to look in the down and seat tubes. A way to defeat this test is to motorize the front wheel. A permanent magnet couple and stator could...

Grewal never would have made it to the finish with Bauer without doping.

I was stunned he said that. Who in their right mind would believe the story about his ex-wife as being the reason to stop doping. It defies all logic.

Just remember, on the topic of the USADA offer, he did add: "Or not that I know of.". It followed all of his stern denials that it ever happened.

Although I had been out of cycling for a few years i did go to watch the race in Hamilton. There was a long early break that got caught 3 or 4 laps from the end. THe grind of the distance and two ascents of the escarpment per lap whittled down the elite group to 7 (IIRC). THe escarpment is a...

The people who believe Canadians don't dope clearly didn't do any racing in Canada. The Mike Barry admission really bugs me. The Floyd Landis comments, the no doping after 2006, the "no choice", the "it didn't make me feel good" ... Just makes me sick.

just an idle threat. No way he confesses. Right now he is despised and quickly going broke. If he confesses, he's still broke, despised and then possibly going to prison. This is a leaked story for the purpose of threatening people with more to lose who Armstrong is relying on for future...

I wanted to follow up on talks we had about doping 20+ yrs ago.

At one point I wanted to talk to Mike (again) about the sport after he retired. Now I'm just not that interested.

I don't know where you are getting your information but I can assure you it is wrong. I don't want to get into a p1ssing match with you over this but do you mind if I ask where you are based (I assume you are currently racing). I can assure you that many pros did a lot more than 80 days of...
