    Motor doping thread

    Re: Re: This is not directed at you Flo but at the people trying to explain away things in a rather remarkable way. I watched the stage live on TV and unless they managed to manipulate the live broadcast on the spot, people are clutching at straws to explain away the footage of Poels on...

    Doping in XC skiing

    Re: Re: Rubbish! The CAS-panel is not a jury, they are judges and in any system I know it is perfectly normal that cases decided by judges can go on majority decisions.

    Teams & Riders Alberto Contador Discussion Thread

    Re: Re: Yes he was, but then again one shouldn't then go around claiming that 2007 was gifted to him and should also not count towards his palmares. One should at least be consistent. He stood on the top step in 2007 and as to this date he was not stripped of that win. End of.

    Contador vs. Froome

    There is hellovulot of doping talk going on in the latter parts of this thread, me thinks.

    Teams & Riders Alberto Contador Discussion Thread

    Re: Re: Though I am not a big fan of diesels, one has to state the obvious that Audi managed to win more than the odd Le Mans 24h using ... diesels. So diesel isn't all bad, it just takes some adjusting and getting used to that AC is now more of diesel than a Porsche.

    Tour de France 2017 stage 4: Mondorf-les-Bains-Vittel 207 km

    Re: Re: Actually it isn't as the most important part (CaV touching Sagan with his left shoulder) isn't visible due to the tree. I do however think that the relegation is warranted as he shouldn't have been closing the door when Cab was already alongside. The elbow was a consequence of the...

    Tour de France 2017. stage 1: Düsseldorf, 14 km itt

    Re: Re: Without background info those positions mean nothing: 5th (coming of winning the Giro), 4th (bad year indeed), DNF (fall), 5th (coming of winning the Giro against rocket fueled Astana), DNF (fall). Now he isn't the favorite but to count out Contador already is plain stupid. He will...

    Critérium du Dauphiné 2017 (04/06 > 11/06/2017)

    Re: Re: You are right! I had a bot of trouble finding the correct intermediate times form where I am sitting. Stellar performances by LRP and Valverde. Given AC's goals I think he had an okay TT. Froome's second half (apparently the toughest part, seeing how Tony Martin lost out in the second...

    Critérium du Dauphiné 2017 (04/06 > 11/06/2017)

    Re: If my math is correct, Valverde lost 9 secs in the 2nd part and Contador 11 secs. Pretty similar. EDIT: my math in Valverde is not correct. He indeed lost 6 secs in the 2nd part.

    Being a bit surprised at your post and the old Sky-bot define you use, I thought I'ld have a look at pcmg76's posting history. Now he hardly sets the boards alight with an average of 1.18 posts per day so it wasn't that much work to go back app. 2 years in his posting history. Ii didn't come up...
