Re: Re: That's assuming Froome could respond.. on some stages maybe, but he clearly isn't at his peak right now, no way that he could have held Contador's wheel on Stage 17, managed it yesterday though.. either way tomorrow I'm hoping for a high pace which leaves the main GC riders isolated...

Frustrating thing is (I know it's all ifs and buts) if Contador hadn't been ill on that Andorra stage, he'd currently be a minute down on Froome and on current form I'd be backing him to win the GC tomorrow.. as it is he's gonna go early, no way is he just aiming for the podium tomorrow..

Sky are as dirty as any other team - they might not be taking banned substances, but are more than likely taking performance enhancing substances which are not yet on the banned list. They've already had to sack 6 or 7 staff members due to their past or present, which somewhat contradicts their...

Doesn't really warrant it's own thread, but looking into that Aicar / GW501516 stuff and cyclists on a bodybuilding site are openly discussing it in relation to races.. check "Southern Lord", and "elite7777"...

Between Jan and Lance, Jan everytime.. ignoring the whole clinic issues, it was obvious the kind of guy Lance was, given the way he treated Simeoni, Bassons etc.. shame the majority of people couldn't see past the yellow wristbands.. Vino was by far my favourite cyclist though, loved his "if...

I've got it as something like Froome Contador @ 2secs Nibali @ 3 secs Evans @ 6 secs Rod @ 30ish Obv assuming the rest of the GC was dropped by a fair amount of time.

Think Froome will lead.. time bonuses are 10,6,4.. Contador was 4 secs ahead so will be 2 secs behind Froome.. depends on where Sagan is though?

Vid is here if it hasn't already been posted: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huR-UGBsJJQ

Doesn't show the actual attack, think it's just after, but 2 mins of Contador riding away before the TV cameras started rolling on stage 17. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J25BM4kTYbk

If it wasn't for the amazing awareness work of Livestrong, I'd still never have even heard of cancer. For years I thought people were being randomly killed by an Astrological sign shaped like a giant crab. Thank you Livestrong, and indeed to Lance, for educating me on this subject.

Pretty sure this is the final climb... steepest section is at 2mins 20sec, starts off pretty steep as well.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-a6Br31Zlw

I'll be honest, I was expecting something rubbish - your photos are awesome though! As a web designer, I'd recommend buying a domain name (yourname.de etc) and forwarding it on to the jimdo address - and then promoting that web address rather than the jimdo one - if http://www.jimdo.com pull...

I raced against him a few times in xc mtb (SW UK), everyone was racing for 2nd place whenever he turned up.. makes me feel a bit better for having him kick my ***, seeing as he's now done the same to Garzelli and Navarro! Seemed a nice enough guy from what I remember, good luck to him.

These guys wouldn't stand for this cover up sh**!

Whatever the decision, is sad to think that if Contador was a midpack pro, regardless of guilt, he'd have had a 2 year ban, and this would quite possibly might have ended his career, no wages/racing for 2 years. As it is his finances and fame (same as Armstrong) will have had a huge bearing on...
