FYI sports.fr is not "French sports media" just some random clickbait where anyone can write any sh.t

Yeah, and you're known on French twitter as an anti-Vayer bot with no credibility, get the f. out of this forum

Re: Re: And « the only Aussie with a Ferrari engine » blowing a gasket @750w when Dawg attacked on the 20% section :rolleyes:

I think the East side of Fauniera (Pradleves) would be ok as a descent but climbing from Demonte wouldn't be that interesting, unless you came from Lombarda which isn't rumored for 2019 Regarding Sampeyre, my understanding is the North side has only been "repaired" (cost 60000€) from its...

Seems journalists at Le Monde had access to Froome's weight data, this article mentionned Froome losing 4.5kg in 7 weeks before Vuelta 2011 and Another couple kilograms before TdF 2012 where he allegedly weighed 67-68kg Which means 74kg in spring 2011, 69-70 at Vuelta 2011. A pro rider losing...

According to Le Monde newspaper, two french riders tested positive in 2015 and 2017 and cases were swept under the carpet (by Cookson or his vice-president ???) https://twitter.com/YvClassics/status/1023192947628683264

Froome was cruising at almost 30kmh up Ventoux according to the leaked file... Nairo probably at a more normal 20 https://twitter.com/oufeh/status/964084194140925952

I've recently watched again each of Armstrong crazy attacks from 1999-2005, most of them fit so well Varjas' story and the "140w for 5 minutes" in Brunel's book, I'm now SURE he did use a motor. Of course, this was on top of EPO/BBs/testosterone who allowed him to be in the front group. But...

Surprise, heart rate is already gone, taken off from Strava rides...

Re: Sky Nah, Savio just mentions the GSK study, 84.6mL/kg/min is Froome result corrected from 70kg to TdF weight into 88.2 mL/kg/min, with an asterisk saying "Assumes maintenance of absolute VRO2peak at lower weight" :rolleyes:

Re: Interesting stuff about Lhotellerie, thanks. Makes even funnier his 2015 statement after he had won the x-country French championship : when asked if people would finally forget about his 2009 positive for methylhexanamine, he answered "I hope so, it's not as if I'd been caught for EPO or...

WRT to heart rate, bottom bracket motor etc, there's another leaked video from Vuelta 2014, this one with a Stages sensor, with the same kind of wattages and low increase in heart rates. Just my 2 cents. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdLFdRGWhh0

This TT was not only short but also slightly downhill, from Versailles (180 meters above sea level) to Paris (35m) which is a lot for 24km

Re: Maybe Leinders didn't fear his riders being sent home, but in the end they couldn't use as much blood as some of their rivals and therefore performed less. By the way, Armstrong "offering" UCI with a Sysmex machine makes sense : if he had an undetectable EPO or a masking agent for EPO, he...
