Agree. Ever since he came back from his suspension, he's (generally) lacked the power to sustain his attacks.

Andy will do nothing. He always was a mentally fragile athlete and he's too busy missing his brother.

This year is probably one of the least talented fields in recent history. And Contador is only coming second because Porte took a dive for credibility, A.Schleck is too busy crying over his brother to care, Cadel Evans is too old and Contador's own teammate has to work for him rather than...

There's nine, possibly ten different topics on the first 2 pages of this forum on Sky, Froome or Porte. I didn't think the forum had strict rules regarding thread creation.

Contador has looked pretty average ever since he got done for drugs. Can we call it now, **** climber who was only exciting when high? Like Armstrong.

There can be NO payments or agreements made between professional riders in the middle of a race, for obvious reasons. This isn't an amateur race organised between mates around the local park. Nor is this 1945. Racers who can't behave in a professional and clean manner, and yes I'm looking...

VAM is very dodgy. Too many variable involved.

Lemond said he produced 380-390 Watts up the entirety of l'Alpe d'Huez, not whatever ****ty short climb Wiggins was on. http://www.bikeraceinfo.com/oralhistory/lemond.html

Scientists who questioned the legitimacy of cycling performances during the 90s were never upset about the power Armstrong could produce. It was the fact that he could do it all damn day. I'm not saying that the sport is clean right now, but to compare the performances of Wiggo and Froome to...

:D Too true.

Terrible suggestions. I'd just stick with reducing the number of riders per team and getting rid of race radio for now instead of trying to dream up funky courses.

It's not as useful as people make it out to be, but it's quite handy depending on the circumstance. Say Contador and Wiggins are in the lead together going up the final mountain, then what Contador will do is attack violently to get a gap. This is because if he didn't accelerate and just rode a...
