    Vuelta 2017 stage 19 Caso (Parque de Redes) - Gijón 149.7 km

    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...

    Vuelta 2017 stage 19 Caso (Parque de Redes) - Gijón 149.7 km

    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..

    being on the record...manifesto baby

    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...

    Team Ineos (Formerly the Sky thread)

    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"...

    Lance vs Jan

    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...

    2013 Tour of Oman (11th-16th February), 2.HC

    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.

    2013 Tour of Oman (11th-16th February), 2.HC

    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?

    Teams & Riders Alberto Contador Discussion Thread

    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

    LiveStrong.org and cycling

    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.

    Vuelta 2012, Stage 12: Vilagarcía de Arousa > Mirador de Ézaro (190,5 kms)

    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

    Have a look at my homepage with cycling pictures!

    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...

    Jonathan Tiernan-Locke Discussion Thread

    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.

    US prosecutors drop case against Armstrong/USPS

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

    Alberto Contador suspended until August 2012 (loses all results July 2010 - Jan 2012)

    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...
