Re: It was never going to be anything like $100 million. A few tried explaining here years ago to various posters, one in particular, of how damages would need to be proved. Anyway, there were a few of us that speculated a $5-10 million settlement back then. It's no real surprise.

Re: Re: It was actually "...said they do not agree with a restart unless all conditions are met" The conditions were, rounded edges, guards and all riders on discs. Given that at least one manufacturer does not have a disc bike available this year then by default it was also an "against" for...

Re: Re: Really? Frankie and his wife go into an arbitration to testify Lance was a doper when Frankie himself was a doper and yet kept that all quiet? That's pretty dishonest and lacks credibility if you ask me. Reminds me of Stuart O'Grady slamming dopers all over the place and then having...

Re: In the comments ... That's from Stage 10 where Froome won the race. All four will be doping, just not motor doping.

Re: They have used SRM's in training at times not racing though.

Re: I just listened to each of the Tucker, Kimmage, Walsh and Vayer podcats. Walsh has completely lost the plot, trying to rewrite history about Lance and the dates when he had the evidence rather than suspicion, ridiculous comparison to Cavendish power testing and still thinking shouting...

Re: They can be reasonably precise (1.5% - 2%) but not accurate.

Re: Re: In highly trained riders I would expect that imbalance would be less variable than in untrained or less trained riders, I'm not sure if there are are studies or not other than what's available using less trained riders. Typically in right handed or right side dominant riders the Stages...

Re: Not correct on the bold bit, while you are correct the force is measure through the crank arm the speed is only measured once per revolution. Therefore the irregular chain ring velocity will cause power to be overstated. From the stages site...

Is there video footage? The body language of the guy leaning back with his arms by his side is not that suggesting force or threat, maybe just said something LRP didn't agree with?

Sky's PR machine would have us believe all the other teams use stock parts out of the box. Saxo says hello from 2010, Postal say hello from 2000. It's not about the bike.

Re: Not sure who this was too but as a general FYI to others here Sky switched to Stages power meters at the start of 2014 and stayed on them this year. Some riders are using the new prototype double sided versions.

Gold. A gift that just keeps on giving.

Re: Re: I don't believe the targeting of the GC contenders is anyway effective, we are probably more likely to see them being busted by methods outside anti-doping controls than because of them i.e. police investigations, other rider or team testimony, etc. That aside my comment was aimed at...

Re: One of the reasons was his son was becoming interested in cycling (son was about 7 years old), others were he thought cycling was in a bad state, and he didn't want the drugs issue playing on his conscience in years to come. There was no external factor or pressure or imminent bust that...
