Wow. Ventoux road got shorter..only 7km.

of dear..another one. Let me make this clear to you I AM ONLY interested in comparison of times from bottom to top of hill, comparisons of bike weight, comparable stage. Those FACTS do not support your Froome's is doped allegations. Again, the blood stuff is your attempt to move debate away...

How does comparing Pantani in 1994 up Ventoux with Froome 2013 up Ventoux support the tenor of debate that Froome is doped,..that's leaving aside Froome's quite rubbish 41 minutes up Alpe D'huez 4 minutes off the MTT and road stage times od LA and Pantani. In any case, the ITT vs road stage...

No, I have not backed off. You are not entitled to your own facts. You are only entitled to your own opinion. Don't forget that. How uninformed am I re contrast of ITT vs road stage on same mountain? Pantani 37 minutes in road stage up Alpe D'huez...LA 37 minutes in the MTT at Alpe D'huez...

Guys, my point is about 1994 TDF comaprisons. Avoid the 1998 bike weights..it' 4 years on and not the bike weight Pantani had

1994 Sir. Not 1998. My comment was on 1994 TDF era

I wouldn't waste my time buying puff pieces on Sky, nor any team but I wouldn't trust you either. You need the fact FACTS. I will not repeat them. You have decided that despite the facts, Froome is suspect..not admitting that he is way slower than Pantani, which is what the FACTS are. Are you a...

thanks Mellow Velo. I will stop fight Froome's corner too hard..his progress is 100x more suspect than even Armstrong's. But we can't say he broke all records on climbs in 2013..he was way slower on 2 of the hills and crumbled on last mountain stage under Quintana pressure. It's off topic, but...

how does pointing out a rider in 1994 with 8kg bike rode up Ventoux near end of a long ROAD STAGE in week two of TDF in 58 minutes compared to a different rider in 2013 with 6.8kg bike who rode up Ventoux near end of a long ROAD STAGE in week two of TDF in 59 minutes constitute trolling...

Fair comment elizab Just meant the female species in general have less aggression, possibly less of the Type A traits that make that the male alpha competitor often so corruptible and odious. Good on you for putting up such a fight. The Macur book suggests you're going to have some more...

am not new, about 30 years following the sport. I'll go the 12 rounds with ANY of you on what's happened in the sport in races or outside of that, in doping and who did said, what, because of the time I've followed the sport.

Stop going on about TTs. 1994 road stage Ventoux. Pantani on 8kg bike 2 weeks into TDF 1994 and a minute faster than Froome 2 weeks in to 2013 TDF who was on a 6.9kg bike on a road stage. Give over about TTs and deal with comparable facts. What part of that don't you understand? Can you count?

Am hoping you don't need it pointed out Pantani did Ventoux a minute faster than Froome in 1994 on an 8kg bike in a road stage compared to Froome's 6.9kg bike and Armstrong and Ullrich's TT times up Alpe dhuez simialr to their times in road stages up it. Not sure it's a clear advantage or...

he could gain a lot of Qui Tam..am not comfy with it, but he is smart..so,

Froome went up Ventoux in 59 minutes..4 minutes slower than Mayo, JV, and a minute slower than Pantani in 1994.
